 * Descriptive Essay Two : Using Imagery**

In class, we have learned how imagery is using the five senses in your writing to create a picture in the mind of your reader. You will now write an essay in which you try to bring into your writing as many of the five senses as you can. You will do this by "playing a movie in your head", and as you write, you will focus on what you see, smell, hear, taste, and feel in order to make your piece come alive for your audience.


 * Directions:**
 * Use proper page headings.
 * As with all of your writing assignments, use 12 point Times News Roman font.
 * Double- space your work.
 * Choose your topic from the following options.
 * Free-write a rough draft by “playing it like a movie in your head”
 * Edit your rough draft into a final copy, using the procedures that you were taught in class.
