Exploring Imagery and Sensory Descriptions in Poetry

In this engaging lesson, students focus on enhancing their sensory description skills through the application of imagery in poetry. Beginning with a bell ringer activity, they choose a well-known location, object, or person and describe it using at least two senses without revealing its identity. The session includes reading and analyzing a peer's poem, identifying sensory elements, and exploring main ideas through guided questioning. Finally, students transform their initial descriptions into three-stanza poems, honing their literary techniques while understanding the significance of imagery.

  1. Comm Arts-Day 5 (no computers) • Bell Ringer: Choose a location, object, or person well known and use at least two of your senses to describe it. Don’t tell anyone what you are describing! (Four minutes) • Example: Her dark, black, silky hair is tied back as she her squeaky, yet deep voice carries across the basketball court. As she hollers the blue and white, shiny jerseys fly by.
