Thursday 11/21 Day 3

Yesterday we spent a lot of time looking at photos surrounding the Industrial Period.  
You and your partner finished the SCAVENGER HUNT (worth 5 points of the final grade).
Today, we work individually with the provided photos.  This will be worth 5 points as well.

Sensory detail-it's the backbone of good writing.

The glistening dewdrops on the slowly fading green leaves of the once brilliantly red geranium in my yard made me sad. Sad because summer, its warmth, its sunshine, its long days  and soft breezes were coming to an end. The deep red of the geranium flower has faded to a dull brown. The once thick green stock of the plant transformed into a woody brown stem. The kelly green leaves fading to a yellowish brown make my heart ache for one more cup of hot black coffee with the rising sun and a book in my hands.

The smile is contagious as he hugs his favorite tree that pokes through the labyrinth of lusciously green and vibrant boxwood below. The coarse bark brushes his soft cheek, the apple blossom’s sweetness
permeates the air and his giggles warm her heart. She wonders if he will claim these days of scampering
in low hanging branches, brushing aside airy light pink blossoms humming with bees collecting pollen
and clutching a favorite branch as happy childhood memories. The bent branches, the perfectly
imperfect bones of the blossoming apple tree, the endlessly blue sky and the laughing child are etched i
n her memory. The songs of the robins, the smell of freshly mown grass and the happiness of carefree
summer days will always bring her back to this moment when all was right in the world.

Here is the THINK SEE WONDER handout.

Browse through the 39 photos in the FLICKR.  Determine which of the photos INTRIGUE you the most.
 Make a TOP THREE list. (3 minutes)

Now pare that down to a single photo that you find compelling.
We are going to ask you to get creative with sensory details so it really should be a photo that
makes you think. (2 minutes)

This handout requires a full page of writing in addition to the completion of
the table.

Now let's look at an example of the rest of the handout:
