Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Writers employ the five senses to engage a reader’s interest. If you want your writing to jump off the page, then bring your reader into the world you are creating. When describing a past event, try and remember what you saw, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted, then incorporate that into your writing. Sensory details are used in any great story, literary or not. Think about your favourite movie or video game. What types of sounds and images are used? What do your favourite characters taste, smell, and touch? Without sensory details, stories would fail to come to life. When sensory details are used, your readers can personally experience whatever you’re trying to describe, reminding them of their own experiences, giving your writing a universal feel. A universal quality is conveyed when the writer can personally connect with the readers. Another note about sensory details: there is no one sense that’s more important than another. It all depends on the scene you’re trying to create. However, imagery, the sight sense, is a common feature in vivid writing. You will receive a zip file containing a PDF and PowerPoint version of this resource.

This ALL ABOUT ME lap book can be worked on throughout the first week of school, but older students should be able to finish the project in a single day, if necessary. The open-ended design makes it most appropriate for children in grades k-2, as they can each write and draw at their own developmental level. •These books have been designed for use with Special Needs students in mind but can be used with any students. •The purpose of this resource is to create an overview of each child for those instances when the regular classroom teacher may be away from class, and the sub or relief teacher needs a quick and easy overview of the students in the class. •Assembly is easy with students cutting around the dotted designated lines and stapling or gluing the pages together into a booklet which can be displayed on the classroom wall or in a storage box for easy access. •Children can have their information scribed for them by an adult or they can draw images that go with each page in the booklet. 1.All about me- what I want people to know about me (preferred name, likes- dislikes etc) 2.My family- whatever the child would like to share about themselves and their families 3.My Friends- Who I like to work with at school? Who I feel safe with at school? Who I like to play with at recess and lunch. 4.My Hobbies- What I like to do outside of school, my hobbies and interests….my ‘special things’ Anything else I would like to share with my carers and teachers
