Sensory details can describe what a character sees, hears, smells, tastes or feels by touch. Use the detail actually given. These are fictional descriptions, not instructions to taste or touch unknown materials.

Worked example

The bell rang loudly gives a hearing detail. The rough rope gives a touch detail.

Five labeled boxes list sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. The task is to match fictional descriptive details to senses, not to taste or touch unknown materials.

Make It Your Own

Optional theme: a surprising delivery. Describe an imagined place using two senses you choose. You may tell, draw or write; never taste unknown objects to get a detail. You may draw, write or tell your idea. Use invented characters and places; no personal information or upload is needed. This activity is not scored.

Reflect on your choices

  • Match each chosen detail to the sense it describes.
  • Explain one intentional choice and one possible alternative.
  • There is no required style or single correct creative response.
