[writeclub] Using your Five senses

I use a lot of props in Write Club to get kids writing. Story Cubes, story cards, images, lyrics, quotes; the list goes on!

Today we did an exercise about the "five senses". Inspired by watching "A Quiet Place" on Saturday night, I thought it might be a good exercise to get students focusing on how they might leverage their senses when writing. Using descriptions involving their senses to set a scene or evoke a feeling.


Examples:

Someone is climbing up a castle wall, use each of the bubbles to identify the different reactions of your senses when you are climbing.
