Enduring Understanding:
Imagery is another word for sensory details. Imagery is writing that employs the use of sensory details so that readers can visualize what is read by the use of vivid, sensory descriptions. In this lesson, students define the term imagery and then identify sensory words and phrases that describe various settings in literature.
Vocabulary: indefinite prodigious extinction Lichen perpetual incrustation lurid palp apparition undulating

Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.

His imagery is closely related to the theory of entropy, the theory that the universe will ultimately decay into a state of inert uniformity. How do you see our universe evolving. Write a description of your future world. Use lots of descriptive words so that your readers can imagine what it looks like, smells like, feels like, sounds like and even what it tastes like.

What does it describe?

What emotion does it evoke in you?

The hot, July sun beat relentlessly down, casting an orange glare over the farm buildings, the fields, the pond. Even the usually cool green willows bordering the pond hung wilting and dry. Our sun-baked backs ached for relief. We quickly pulled off our sweaty clothes and plunged into the pond, but the tepid water only stifled us, and we soon climbed back onto the brown, dusty bank. Our parched throats longed for something coola strawberry rice, a tall frosted glass of lemonade. We pulled on our clothes and headed through the dense, crackling underbrush, the sharp briars pulling at our damp jeans, until we reached the watermelon patch. As we began to cut open the nearest melon, we could smell the pungent skin mingling with the dusty odor of dry earth. Suddenly the melon gave way with a crack, revealing the deep, pink sweetness inside.What image is the strongest?
