Five Senses Description

Students write a narrative paragraph describing a summer carnival scene using all five senses. They must think about what they see, hear, smell, taste, and feel to build a vivid sensory moment. This activity enhances descriptive writing by teaching students how sensory imagery adds depth to storytelling. The prompt encourages creativity while helping students understand how sensory details influence tone and atmosphere. By focusing on one moment, students learn to slow down and enrich their writing with specific observations.
