Color of Silence: Sensory Imagery in Pat Mora's Poem "Echoes"
Color of Silence: Sensory Imagery in Pat Mora's Poem "Echoes"
Description:
Students will explore how writers use sensory imagery as a literary device to make text more meaningful for the reader. Students begin by using all of their senses to describe known objects such as pasta, chocolate, or grapes. They then apply their understanding of sensory imagery to their own poetry to practice using this literary device before they evaluate how it functions in Pat Mora's poem "Echoes." As students read this poem, they look for sensory images and write an explanation of how these images contribute to the meaning of the poem.
