|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to the Topic | 5 mins | Introduce descriptive writing and its importance. Discuss examples of vivid imagery. |
| 2 | Sensory Details Discussion | 5 mins | Engage students in a discussion about the five senses. Ask for examples of sensory experiences. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 mins | Distribute handouts with descriptive writing examples. Analyze them as a class focusing on sensory language. |
| 4 | Writing Activity | 7 mins | Provide writing prompts. Have students write a brief descriptive paragraph incorporating sensory details. |

Students will complete their descriptive paragraphs using the feedback received during peer review. They should focus on enhancing imagery and sensory details. The teacher will collect homework the next class without calling on students to present it.
At the end of the lesson, the teacher should reflect on what worked well and what could be improved for future lessons.
