Sensory Writing: February 24, 2017

Focus: How do we use our five senses to create rich worlds in our tribute memoirs?

1. Warming up with Grammar You Must Know #7 Quiz: Sentence Fragments

2. Tuning into your senses with a scene exercise (click HERE for the slides and scroll to Slide 30)

3. Continuing to draft with a focus on using your five senses with two goals:

• to enrich/create the world in which your memoir is taking place. 
• to help the reader figure out how to feel and what to think about your character.

HW:
1. By Tuesday: Finish the book (Chapters 24, 25, and the Epilogue). Finish your blogs. Catch up if you missed a Socratic (loud or silent).

2. If you have fewer than two pages of rough draft at this point, work on your tribute memoir over the weekend. We're going to work on structure on Monday, but it's hard to do this if you don't have any scenes written.
