Captivate your students and help them explore imagery and sensory language in poetry in a whole new way. This resource includes a no-prep slideshow to review imagery and sensory language, engaging and hands-on “sensory stations” to get students’ creative juices flowing, and additional application tasks to cement the learning!

Description

With this mini-lesson, students will learn about how sensory language can evoke strong emotions in readers.

Then, they’ll rotate through five sensory stations (supplies not included) to practice paying attention to and using their five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste.

Afterward, students will apply what they know about analyzing imagery in poetry using one of three poems.

✎ This engaging mini-lesson is perfect for sparking creativity in your poetry unit. With activities specifically created to help students sharpen their abilities to understand imagery and sensory language in poems, it’s never been easier or more fun to explore the wonderful world of poetry.
