I. Objectives
What is the point of this lesson? What is the Big Idea?
Students will continue their understanding of sensory details. Students will continue writing using sensory details in order
to enhance their own writing style. My main reason for teaching this second lesson is to get Anahla and Deona inspired to
do some writing! I want them to continue understanding that writing doesnt have to be boring; they can add descriptions
and imagination to it!
How does this lesson fit into a unit or long term plan?
This lesson is important in the students lives, as they will need to use details in their writing for school. Writing is a life long
skill and always needs to be improved.
The Learner will (your objectives):
Gain a better understanding of sensory details
Be able to write sensory details in order to enhance their own writing styles

Teacher Activity
-Ask the students if they
remember what we learned and
talked about in our previous
lesson? (Show the cotton balls,
sandpaper, etc.) To activate
previous knowledge
-Describe that?
-We are going to be working on an
exercise that will continue our
growth in sensory details.
Remember about showing
someone who might not be able
to see
-Discuss with the class the idea of
showing rather than telling in
writing. For example, in a casual
conversation, a student might say,
I was in a plane yesterday, but
such a statement gives little
information. Where was I going?
Where did I come from? WasI
alone on the plane? What did the
plane look like?
Student Activity
-Sensory details
-Students describe what sensory
details are
