Using the senses to help writing

Submitted by Ayotola Oronti on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 3:38pm.

The activity this morning on using the senses is very appropriate for my class. I discovered that children, just like us adults, can learn much from using their senses to help them associate words with their experiences.

With the project I did in the Brain & Behavior institute 2008, students need help verbalizing their thoughts and experiences. With this type of activity {USING THE SENSES TO WRITE A DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY.}they will find it a breeze to write down what they are thinking or experiencing.

Also I can use this in my class with students in groups to facilitate cooperative learning. My BLOG has a lesson on USING THE SENSES TO WRITE A DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY.
