Reading Homework 11/2
We talked today about how authors use sensory details to help us visualize people, places and events in a story. Read for 15 minutes and then comment. Tell the title of the book you read and list 3 details about how someone or something looked, sounded, tasted, smelled or felt in the story. You may use the author's exact words or you may use your own words. Remember that all the important details in a book title should be capitalized!
