Sensory Imagery Definition: Language that appeals to a reader’s five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Examples: Touch: This desk has a hard, smooth surface. Smell: The light, flowery scent of my sister’s perfume invaded my nostrils. Taste: As I carefully swallowed each delicious morsel, I savored the rich and creamy chocolate bar. Sight: Brightly colored hot air balloons filled the clear sky. Sound: The campfire crackled quietly in the night.

Sensory Details Why using the senses sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch is an excellent strategy for descriptive writing!

1. SOUND - Imagine that you were swimming at the beach when a storm blew in. The waves crashed in around you as you tried desperately to get back to shore. You couldn't see anything. All you could hear was the sound of the waves. Describe that sound to someone who has never been to the beach.

2. SIGHT - Describe a sunset to a person who cannot see.

3. SMELL - You are lying in bed on Saturday morning when you awaken to the aroma of bacon frying, hot chocolate, and pancakes. The phone rings, and you begin to tell your friend about the smells of breakfast cooking.

4. TASTE - You and your sister decide to concoct a new drink 4. TASTE - You and your sister decide to concoct a new drink. You mix all the carbonated drinks in the refrigerator into your mom's blender. Then you add strawberries, bananas, tomatoes, and last night's leftover meatloaf. Finally, you throw in a raw egg, a cup of milk, and some ice. As the blender crushes the mixture into a drink, you and your sister argue over who will have to taste it first. You lose… Describe the taste of that first swallow.

5. TOUCH - Have you ever touched an animal’s fur? Describe how it feels. Compare it to your own skin. How is it different?
