Students in second and third period classes prepared for writing their first drafts of a personal narrative by zooming in on a scene, capturing details for the reader.  Imagery creates the experience through sight, sound, and sensation, evoking a mood so that the reader feels what the writer felt.

Here are some examples of student bloggers playing with language to create powerful images:

• Sam W’s “The Scrambler”
• Kyle Z’s “The Zip Line”
• Irma’s “In Trouble”
• Daniel’s “Fire!”
• Clay’s “The Game”
• Alanna’s “Reunion”
• Ethan L’s “Smart Board”
• Nikki’s “Moment on the Beach”
• Cierra’s “When I Got Lost”
• Ryan N’s “TCU Football”
