Sense Perception and Connection: Sensory Writing Many English or grammar classes have students WRITE…but learning to write with your senses is a skill that opens a whole new world for young people! Giving specific Sensory Writing assignments will help them gain the skills of awareness, connectedness and observation What is Sensory Writing? It is the ability to be aware of every moment and then put it on paper For Example: Every Wednesday, our family has dinner together It’s required My mom always makes one of our favorite foods and we laugh and talk a lot OR Sensory Version: When I sat down at dinner, the first thing I noticed was the great smell! My mom had made my favorite I looked at her and she smiled and winked at me It made me feel warm and loved Then during dinner I saw mom looking at dad, and her face seemed to lose it’s sparkle…then I looked at dad and realized how tired he looked So I told him a joke, and his eye lit up and he laughed I love Wednesday nights!
