Picture Detail Hunt

Students study a picture of a small outdoor scene and imagine themselves standing within it. They must write one sensory detail for each of the five senses-sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. This exercise teaches students how to observe, imagine, and describe sensory experiences based on visual prompts. It strengthens their ability to generate vivid, specific details that enhance narrative writing. The activity encourages deeper engagement with imagery and sharpens observational skills that support descriptive accuracy.
