Lesson:
Today was a day all about sensory details.
We had a number of sensory experiences in class.
If you were absent, pick up the short story, "Deep Fried Potato Bug", we read when you return.
In addition, we wrote about our experiences in class using three descriptions. If you were absent I would like you to try three new things. They could be food, music, activities, etc and write a short paragraph for each describing your experience. Use showing details. Don't say "the pepper was waxy looking and spicy". Say: "The pepper, like a sculpted piece of wax scorched my vocal chords as it skidded down my throat".
Do something cool. Go to an ethnic grocery store and try something you've never heard of. Go to CD World and listen to some world music from a place you do not know (or find some music on-line, but don't steal).
HMWK: Vivid descriptions of things (see above if absent)
