10. What is imagery?
Sensory imagery or imagery is a literary device that
writers use to paint a picture in the audience’s head.
Think about it, when you read books or when your friend
tells you a juicy story, there is often quite a bit of
description that helps you imagine it.
Often, the imagery created appeals to the 5 senses: sound,
taste, sight, smell and touch.
11. INSTRUCTION:
Discuss your assigned type of imagery for
five minutes, consult a dictionary if
necessary, choose one representative, and
write your group's answer on a manila
paper.
12. Definition: is the most obvious and typical form
of imagery. When you’re writing a scene,
whether you’re describing a person, place, or
thing, it’s best to show instead of telling. That
means using vivid imagery and sensory details
to make your reader see the scene for
themselves.
Ask yourself: What can you see?
For Example:
The moonlight shone over the lake and
reflected in her big, dark eyes.
VISUAL
IMAGERY
13. Definition: appeals to our sense of smell. If
you’re writing a scene about food, for
example, be sure to use descriptive words that
will have your readers’ mouths watering.
Ask yourself: What can you smell?
For Example:
The sweet aroma of the freshly baked
chocolate chip cookies wafted from the
kitchen to the living room, causing Greg’s
stomach to rumble.
OLFACTORY
IMAGERY
14. Definition: describes taste. It often works
hand in hand with olfactory imagery
(what’s taste without smell after all?) and
should appeal to reader’s tastebuds.
Ask yourself: What can you taste?
For Example:
As he bit into the juicy burger, a variety of
spices danced upon his tongue.
Gustatory
Imagery
15. Definition: appeals to our sense of
touch. Good tactile imagery helps
readers to feel that they are part of the
scene and makes the characters’
experiences more relatable.
Ask yourself: What can you touch?
For Example:
A gust of cold wind pierced her body.
TACTILE
IMAGERY
16. Definition: describes sounds, from shrill
cries to whispering winds. Even the
subtlest of sounds can help set the scene
and place readers right in the middle of
the action.
Ask yourself: What can you hear?
For Example:
She awoke to the chirping of birds and
the soft whisper of a breeze as it passed
through the tree outside her window.
