Description
My middle school students, were learning about their five senses, and how to use their five senses, in order to write essays- while using imagery. The focus of this lesson, the object itself, was a pumpkin. We then described the pumpkin in class using our five senses. This lesson we took it a step farther, the students started writing a story/paragraph, about the pumpkin. But first, we need to discussed how to write sentences using imagery—and the difference between sentences with good imagery, and sentences that do not. Imagery allows us to experience something/ see something that is not right in front of us—it uses specific details that make us feel like we expericenced it.
Rationale
I chose to link this artifact to InTASC 4 (2011)-DP3. The reason for this was because it was a lesson plan that correlate with state curriculum and showed the goals and objectives of the lesson. This specific lesson from a unit plan that was built and designed around a central question, which is– how do we incorporate imagery into our essays.
