Review the Five Senses
Writers use their senses just like detectives to notice details!
Sense
Sight Sight 👀 Sound 👂 Smell 👃 Taste 👅 Touch ✋
Question to Ask What do I see? What do I hear? What do I smell? What do I taste? What do I feel?
Example The waves sparkle under the sunset. The seagulls screech and the water splashes. The salty air tickles my nose. My lips taste like sea salt. The sand is soft and warm under my feet.

Example (Walking in the Rain):
