Imagery! Imagery! Imagery!
After bringing to class an eclectic arrangement of items (a toy giraffe painted orange and blue, two Valentine’s Day themed stuffed dogs, two decorative bird items, dollar store flower bouquets, a small stuffed animal mouse with a pumpkin for a hat, and some seashells) the students all got handed one of the items and then had to write descriptions of their objects. No one knew what anyone else had and we all had to guess what object everyone had based on their description. You may think it would be easy to guess each others objects but with so many of the objects being animals, or stuffed items — the name of the game is specificity. And that is the game for great imagery too!

8th grade
a pink heart shaped face
with gently closing eyes that lay long
lashes
a soft, pointed yellow beak and
two three fingered yellow feet to
match
beautiful patterned white lace
wrapping around the neck
of its pink-white plaid outer design that covers
its back, wings, and tail
as a cherry on top, there lays a
brown, yellow, and white straw
hat atop of its head with
a baby blue flower right in the center
of said hat, accompanied with a
white, shiny pearl in the middle of
the flower
to match the baby blue flower and
the pearl
stuck to the sides of
its wings are a five petaled baby
pink flower as well with a pearl in
its center
on its belly is a white and tan
zig zag/ triangle design that stretches
from its legs to its neck with the
white lace
the stitching that crosses its wings
and tail are small and white
although, the white threading that
connects the pink and white plaid
design to the tan and white orange triangle
design is starting to come undone
revealing more of the white
and tan design underneath its pink
and white plaid one
underneath its straw hat is a shiny
white fabric
and wrapping around under the
hat is a string of clear glue that
attaches the hat to its head
