Question

Sensory Language: Read the paragraph again, this time looking for examples of sensory language (language that appeals to a reader’s senses). Highlight the different types of sensory language as follows:

👀 Sight – blue
👂 Sound – yellow
👃 Smell – green
👅 Taste – pink
✋ Touch – orange


The sun had just begun to set, casting a warm golden glow over the small town. Emily walked down the cobblestone street, the scent of freshly baked bread wafting from the bakery on the corner. She popped a still-warm roll into her mouth, the buttery crust melting against her tongue. As she approached the park, children’s laughter mixed with the rustling leaves of the ancient oak trees. She could feel the cool breeze on her skin, a welcome relief from the heat of the day. Opening the creaky gate to the park, Emily saw her friend Jack jogging toward her, his face flushed from running.
