  1. Language Network Elaboration

  2. Elaboration Elaboration Elaboration provides details that help the reader fully understand the topic.

  3. Types of Elaboration Elaboration Sensory Details Facts and Statistics

  4. Sensory Details Sensory details are bits of information that you collect through your five senses. sight sound touch taste smell

  5. Sensory Details When you elaborate with sensory details, you give the reader a much clearer idea of what you are describing.

  6. Looks like the stuffing in pillows Smells like sweet, clean air Feels like an ice-cream sundae Tastes like cold cotton candy Sounds like loud crunching Sensory Details You can use a word web to help you add sensory details to your writing. My First Snowfall

  7. SENSORY DETAILS STUDENT MODEL SIGHT SOUND SMELL TOUCH Sensory Details I saw snow for the first time when I was ten... When I looked out the window early one morning, it seemed like someone was shaking the stuffing out of pillows and letting it drift downward. I put on my new boots and ran outside. I was surprised by the noise of my boots crunching on the hard surface of the packed snow…The air smelled clean and sweet. I grabbed a handful of snow. It felt like I was putting my hand into an ice-cream sundae!...

  8. Sensory Details To gather details about a person or object, make careful observations. Keep a small notebook or journal with you and jot them down. If you are writing about something that has happened, close your eyes and try to visualize the event.

  9. Facts and Statistics Facts are statements that can be proved.

  10. Facts and Statistics Statistics are facts expressed with one or more numbers. Statistics can be used to make comparisons between things or between a part of something and the whole.

  11. Facts and Statistics When you elaborate with facts and statistics, you help your readers understand your ideas.

  12. FACTS AND STATISTICS LITERARY MODEL Facts and Statistics The final size and richness of this new ship was astounding. She was 882 feet long, almost the length of four city blocks. With nine decks, she was as high as an eleven-story building… As her name boasted, the Titanic was indeed the biggest ship in the world. --Robert D. Ballard, Exploring the Titanic

  13. Facts and Statistics Give your reader comparisons, not just numbers.

  14. Elaborating with Visuals Elaboration Diagrams Other Visuals Practice and Apply

  15. Elaboration Using visuals to elaborate is a great way to show rather than tell. Your reader can see at a glance what information you are giving and how it all fits together.

  16. Diagrams Diagrams Diagrams are drawings that give information about an object or a process.

  17. 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 Diagrams Types of diagrams include • time lines • flow charts • labeled drawings

  18. Diagrams You can elaborate with a diagram. A volcano is an opening in the crust of the earth where lava, ashes, and gases are released. Inside a Volcano Ash cloud full of bits of rock and magma (hot, liquid rock) Cone layers of hardened, cooled lava and other materials ejected from the volcano Magma chamber volcanic eruption happens when magma travels upward and breaks through the earth’s crust Central vent and side vent magma flows from the chamber through here

  19. Other Visuals Charts and graphs present facts and statistics in a visual format. They let your reader see and compare information easily.

  20. CHARTS AND GRAPHS STUDENT MODEL Other Visuals Volcanoes have caused some of the worst natural disasters in history. Lava flows have destroyed whole towns, and people have starved to death because their farmland got covered with ashes and nothing could grow. Over the past 200 years, more than 250,000 people have died because of volcano eruptions. Four huge eruptions caused about 70 percent of those deaths. (SEE NEXT SLIDE)

  21. CHARTS AND GRAPHS STUDENT MODEL Deadliest Volcano Eruptions, Late 1700s-Present Other Visuals How does this graph elaborate on volcanoes?

  22. 1. Barbara photographed a cactus in the desert. Practice and Apply Add sensory details to the following sentence.

  23. 2. The big bear looked menacing. Practice and Apply Add sensory details to the following sentence.

  24. 3. I remember my first trip to a movie theater. Practice and Apply Add sensory details to the following sentence.

  26. return to Practice and Apply Practice and Apply • In one California school 32 different languages are spoken by the student body. • More than one-fifth of the world population speaks English. • Television took 13 years to acquire 50 million users; within five years, the Internet had 50 million users. • Russia, China, and India now have some of the same fast- food restaurant chains that the U.S. has.
