Reflection

Explain that this framework helps students to think in terms of the five senses. Explicitly tell students that it can be a useful tool for producing writing.

Test a quirky image yourself, just to see how much one could produce under each of the sense categories. Sometimes the images are so much fun to use, but they are challenging when trying to extract a sensory category from them.

Sometimes students can create full categories of words, but then they neglect to use them when putting a sentence together.
