U1 - L3 Writing Through Sensory Experience (CW)

Here are improved versions of the statements with added sensory details: 1. The early morning sun cast a warm glow as it rose over the horizon, its golden light filtering through the trees. 2. The warm, inviting scent of fresh bread wafted through the air as the baker pulled loaves out of the oven, their crusts browned to perfection. 3. The young boy savored each sweet bite of his breakfast - buttered toast with jam that melted on his tongue. 4. The pealing bells rang out across the town, their melodic tones beckoning the people to Sunday mass accompanied by the altar boys' calls. 5. A gentle breeze stirred the leaves, its soft

Sensory Experience
LESSON 3
LEARNING TARGETS

At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to


• Cull creative ideas from experiences; and
• Use specific experiences in composing literary
ideas.
Written literary pieces greatly serve as
thresholds in entering the world
beyond that which is commonly
perceived.
In order for this to be completely
achieved, stimulating the five basic
human senses is essential to establish
the connection between the imaginative
realms and the mind of the reader.
Creatively-crafted literary
pieces are not just meant to be
read, for like other works of
art, they must entice the basic
senses of people in order to
achieve their very purpose.
These written works can be
much more appreciated when
they can bring out the innate
capacity of people to feel,
imagine, and behold.
Sensory Experience/
Sensory Details
Establishing a clear connection with the
readers is one of the important
objectives that any literary work
must be able to fulfill.

Sensory experience is the literary device


that makes use of imagery to enliven
the five basic human senses.
Together, At Last
John Oliver M. Ramos

I saw you walk towards me.


Your footsteps fell heavy on the hardwood floor.
Your perfume reached me before you did.
We got caught in a tight embrace.
We kissed;
I tasted love.
Observe how each line of the poem uses
sensory words to directly stimulate a
specific sense to aid the readers in
conceptualizing a perceived image
FIRST LINE

I saw you walk towards me.

The use of the word saw directly connects to


the sense of sight, in which one can imagine
seeing someone walking towards the persona.
SECOND LINE

Your footsteps fell heavy on the hardwood floor.

This line describes how the person walks toward


the persona, and the use of the words fell heavy
indicate how the footsteps can be distinctly heard
against the floor.
THIRD LINE

Your perfume reached me before you did.

This appeals to the sense of smell, which makes


one imagine the scent of this person’s perfume.
FOURTH LINE

We got caught in a tight embrace.

The use of the word tight, aids in imagining the


warmth of the person’s embrace.
FIFTH LINE

I tasted love.

Rather than stating an actual taste, the phrase


tasted love gives an implied feeling of being
able to taste love which is often described as
sweet.
Sensory devices are also used to provide
an experiential opportunity to the
readers. Therefore, there is a necessity
to make them feel the same experience
that you intend them to feel so that
the readers may be immersed in your
written work as if it was their own.
I walk down the dark street. I was
alone at first. Then at the end of the
road, a figure appeared. I wan away
from it, scared.
I walked down the long and winding street. It was close
to midnight, and I can feel the cold breeze blowing
around me, I had no one with me as I walked along the
graveled path. I trudged through the cobblestones,
avoiding the pot holes filled with water; it had just
rained. As I approached the middle of the street, I
came to a sudden stop. I stood for a moment as I let
my eyes focus on what was appearing before me. Right
there, at the end of the dark street, I saw her: a
figure of a woman draped in white, with long flowing
black hair, her back turned to me. Slowly, the figure
started to turn. I could not take my eyes off her.
When she finally faced me, I gasped. She had no face. I
screamed, and turned back to run.
