D.DEVELOPMENT OF THE LESSON

1. ACTIVITY: CONCEPT NOTE #2

Sensory Language is the language that connects to the five main senses (sight, smell, hearing, touch
and taste)

Sensory Experience in literature, is defined as the literary device that makes use of imagery to
enliven the five basic human senses. Description encourages a more concrete or sensory experience
of a subject, one that allows the reader to transport himself or herself into a scene.

Language in Creative Writing

 Imagery refers to the use of vivid or figurative language to represent objects, actions, places, or ideas.
It is a painting with words. A well written description should arouse a particular response or emotion in
the reader’s imagination. Often, imagery is built on other literary devices, such as simile or metaphor,
as the author uses comparisons to appeal to our senses.

Examples of Imagery:

1. I could hear the popping and crackling as mom dropped the bacon into the frying pan, and
soon the salty, greasy smell wafted toward me.
2. Glittering white, the blanket of snow covered everything in sight.
 2. ANALYSIS

DIRECTIONS: From the sentence below, choose the one which is more appealing to you. Explain why.

1. Her hair is pretty and long.

2. Her shiny jet black hair reaches her waist.

1. Her perfume smells like chocolate but sweeter.

2. Her perfume smells good.

3. ABSTRACTION:  
Writers employ the five senses to engage a reader's interest. When sensory details are used, your readers
can personally experience whatever you're trying to describe, reminding them of their own experiences,
giving your writing a universal feel.

V. APPLICATION/ASSESSMENT:
DIRECTIONS: Identify the words/phrases in the text that show sensory details for the following.

Example Text:

Grandmother Workman lurched over and grabbed the pale skin of Randal’s thin forearm with her
leathery hand. The folds and creases beneath her skin coiled themselves out like electrical wiring, like
the bloated, roughly-textured relief map of the world that his mother just posted above his bedside table.
Randal looked ahead toward the winding spiral staircase, fidgeted with a small hole in his baseball
jersey, and bit his lip. His mouth filled with the sweet, coppery taste of blood as she leaned in closely
toward him, breathing her hot breath on the damp hair at the base of his neck. She smelled of wet
cigarettes and bacon. As they slowly climbed the long, steep staircase, the only sound was his
grandmothers’ labored breathing and the mournful creak of the wooden stairs.

1. Sight

2. Sound

3. Smell

4. Touch

5. Taste
