Use the provided material to answer questions 1-10. Lee's teacher has assigned a short narrative piece about a trip or vacation, She wants him to practice using sensory language in his writing, which means using descriptions that emphasize the five senses: sight, touch, smell, taste, and sound. This will help the reader visualize and experience the writing with vivid, clear details, Read what Lee wrote and answer the questions that follow. "I had to wait until late spring to go on my first camping trip of the year, and | was so excited | could barely sit still in the car. When my family pulled into our camping spot inside the forest reserve, the perfume of old-growth pine trees seeped through the car windows. My heart fluttered with nostalgia as | helped my dad unpack the tent and supplies, The cold, wet, heavy bag of ice almost slipped through my hands as | took it to the cooler. Then | placed our drinks inside. The afternoon was warm, but not too hot. Dappled sunlight fell through the soaring branches above, reminding me of abstract paintings in black, white, and gray. Then my mom made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, and I brought one with me on a walk through the forest. The bread was soft, the peanut butter was sticky, and the strawberry jam was tart and sweet. It was the perfect snack to eat while | sat by a little creek that gurgled and bubbled as it glided over rocks and moss on the forest floor.

Late at night after the fire had gone out, | snuck out of my tent to gaze at the night sky. Even if it was only one night, was very happy to be in the woods with my family." 1. When choosing a topic for narrative writing, it is important to pick something that can be written about in a lot of detail. Did Lee choose a good topic for his paragraph to practice using sensory language? Why or why not? O No, Lee's topic is not right for this assignment because camping is a specific hobby that not everyone shares, so some people will not relate to it. © Yes, Lee's topic is right for this assignment because the camping trip happened recently, and he can remember where he went, who he went with, and what he did. © Yes, Lee's topic is right for this assignment because a camping trip can include many different kinds of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and things to feel or touch. © No, Lee's topic is not right for this assignment because the camping trip was too short, and he should include more than one event or location hitpsistudy.com/skllprinipracicausing-sensory language-in-narrative-aing-questions Nm wnt10719723, 625 PM Using Sensory Language in Narative Waiting 2. Sensory language uses words that apply to one or more of the five senses to describe a scene or event in specific detail. Read this sentence from Lee's sample passage and answer the following question: "When my family pulled into our camping spot inside the forest reserve, the perfume of old-growth pine trees see through the car windows." Does this sentence represent a successful use of sen: language? Why or why not? © No, because the phrase ‘seeped through ()_No, because the phrase ‘when my family the car windows’ is confusing. pulled into our camping spot' is not specific. © Yes, because the detail ‘perfume of old- © Yes, because the detail ‘inside the forest growth pine trees' describes a type of reserve' describes a specific place. smell. 3. By using sensory language in narrative writing, the author engages the reader with vivid details that allow the reader to feel like they are inside the scene. In Lee's sample paragraph, he writes, "The bread was soft, the peanut butter was sticky, and the strawberry jam was tart and sweet." How does this sentence use vivid, sensory details to engage the reader? © The sentence appeals to the reader's © The sentence appeals to the reader's curiosity about what ingredients make desire to learn what kind of snack to up a peanut butter sandwich. take on a camping trip. © The sentence appeals to the reader's © The sentence appeals to the reader's imagination by using many specific sense of taste to help the reader adjectives to describe the sandwich. imagine eating the sandwich. ntps:study comiskilprinipractceiusing-sensorylanguage-n-narratve-wrting-questons.html aur10719723, 625 PM Using Sensory Language in Narative Waiting 4. Sensory writing should include specific details, but using too many descriptive words for one subject can be confusing for the reader and make it difficult to understand which details are important. The author should cut out unnecessary words and keep only the strongest and most important details. Read this senten- from Lee's story: "The cold, wet, heavy bag of ice almost slipped through my han. | took it to the cooler."

Sensory language can use adjectives to appeal to the five senses, but using strong, specific verbs is an even more effective way to engage the reader. Consider this example sentence from Lee's story: "I love to eat roasted marshmallows, crispy graham crackers, and gooey chocolate for dessert.” Lee wants to revise the sentence to use active verbs instead of adjectives alone. How effective is the revised version below and what is your reasoning? "We roasted marshmallows, snapped graham crackers, and squished the gooey chocolate in between to make the most amazing dessert." © The revised sentence is not effective © The revised sentence is not effective because it does not include words like because it does not have the same eyes, ears, and tongue that help the readability and flow as the original reader understand which of the senses sentence. is being described. © The revised sentence is very effective © The revised sentence is very effective because it expands on the end of the because it uses specific action verbs that sentence to make the modifier for appeal to the reader's five senses. ‘dessert’ more specific. ntps:fstudy comiskilprinipractceiusing-sensorylanguage-n-narratve-wrting-questons.html snr10719723, 625 PM Using Sensory Language in Narative Waiting 6. Successful narrative writing follows the ‘show not tell' principle. Passive language and word choice ‘tells’ the reader what is happening in a story, resulting in less engaging narrative writing. By using active verbs and specific sensory language, the author can ‘show’ the reader a scene, inviting the reader to use their imaginatior Consider the following example from Lee's sample paragraph. "It was the perfec snack to eat while | sat by a little creek that gurgled and bubbled as it glided over rocks and moss on the forest floor.” Is this a successful example of the 'show not tell’ principle of narrative writing? Why or why not? © No, this isnot a good example of ‘show ©)_Yes, this is a good example of ‘show not not tell’ because the sentence does not use an equal amount of passive and active verbs. No, this is not a good example of show not tell’ because the author does not clearly describe the setting in which the action takes place. tell’ because the sentence includes what is on the forest floor where the creek is flowing. Yes, this is a good example of 'show not tell because the sentence includes active verbs that represent the sound of a creek in the forest. 7. When writing with the ‘show not tell" principle, the author should use active and specific verbs to appeal to the reader's five senses. Lee's teacher asks him to revise the following sentence to include an active verb and sensory language that will engage the reader more effectively: "At sunset, my parents built a campfire, and | didn't like the way the smoke smelled." Using what you know about ‘show not tell,’ construct a revised version of the sentence that uses effective sensory details and active verbs. © While watching the sky change colors at sunset, my parents built a campfire, and the smoke made me sneeze over and over again. © Even though we were exhausted at the end of the day, my parents built a campfire, and | didn't ike the way the smoke moved around me. © My parents built a massive campfire while the sun was going down, and the smoke made my mouth feel dry, which | didn't like at all. © While the setting sun turned the sky pink and orange, my parents built a campfire, and the sharp smell of smoke bit my nose. ntps:fstudy comiskilprinipractceiusing-sensorylanguage-n-narratve-wrting-questons.html an710719723, 625 PM Using Sensory Language in Narative Waiting 8. Lee's teacher asks him to expand the end of his story by adding another sentence after this one: ate at night after the fire had gone out, | snuck out of my tent to gaze at the night sky." Lee writes the following new sentence: "The cold air made me shiver, and | rubbed my arms to stay warm while | looked for my favorite constellation in the stars." Does Lee's new sentence achieve the objective of the assignment, which is to use effective sensory language to engage the reader? If so, how does the sentence achieve the objective? If not, how could it be revised to achieve the objective? © Yes, the sentence does use sensory language effectively. It invites the reader to imagine being outside on a cold night and mentions that there are stars in the sky. © No, the sentence does not use sensory language effectively. It should be revised to include more adjectives describing the cold air, the darkness, and the sky. © Yes, the sentence does use sensory language effectively. It describes the temperature outside and uses an active verb, 'rubbed,' to help the reader imagine being cold. © No, the sentence does not use sensory language effectively.

Lee plans to continue his narrative by describing what he hears, smells, and feels the next morning when he wakes up in his tent. He wants to mention the following details: "birds" "coffee" "fleece sweater" Based on the details that Lee wants to include, construct a sentence that uses effective sensory language to set the scene for the reader. © Inthe morning, | woke up early because the birds were noisy, and someone was making coffee over the campfire while wearing a fleece sweater. © Inthe morning, Iwas greeted by the music of birdsong and the comforting smell of coffee, and | grabbed my soft fleece sweater to ward off the chill morning air. © Inthe morning, | was greeted by the sound of birds, and | needed to put on my fleece sweater to get a cup of coffee because it was cold outside. © Inthe morning, | woke up when I heard birds chirping, and | decided to put on my fleece sweater and get a cup of coffee that was brewing on the campfire. ntps:study comiskilprinipractceiusing-sensorylanguage-n-narratve-wrting-questons.html snr10/13/23, 6.25 PM Using Sensory Language in Naratve Witing 10.

Based on what you know about the purpose and use of sensory language in narrative writing, is this an effective way to conclude Lee's story? Why or why not? © Yes, this is an effective conclusion © No, this is not an effective conclusion because it uses a metaphor to describe because the sentence structures are what the lake looks like that allows the almost all the same, and narrative reader to visualize a key element of the writing should include a variety of scene, which also elevates the writing to sentence structures to engage the a more advanced level. reader with rhythm and flow. © Yes, this is an effective conclusion © No, this is not an effective conclusion because it uses specific descriptions and because it does not include enough active verbs that appeal to the reader's transitional phrases that explain the senses of sight, touch, and smell in events in a clear order, which leads the order to bring the scene to life in an reader to wonder how much time was engaging and imaginative way. spent at the lake and what else happened there. ntps:study comiskilprinipractceiusing-sensorylanguage-n-narratve-wrting-questons.html en71s0/19723, 625 PM Using Sensory Language in Narative Witing Use the provided material to answer questions 11-20.
