Sort the sensory details.

key idea

When you write, you can use sensory details to make stories and scenes easier for the reader to imagine. A sensory detail makes the reader imagine a particular sight, sound, smell, taste, or touch.

Sight:	John's face was lit by glowing firelight.

Sound:	In the morning, Samantha awoke to chirping birds outside her window.

Smell:	I caught a whiff of freshly baked bread as I passed by the bakery.

Taste:	The sharply sour apple made Mary's mouth pucker.

Touch:	Ted was uncomfortable in his scratchy wool sweater.

solution

Taste sensory details are things that a reader can imagine tasting, such as fruity strawberry yogurt and vinegary potato chips.

Sight sensory details are things that a reader can imagine seeing, such as rainbow-striped pants and a tall chain-link fence.
