Imagery

Imagery is one of my personal favorite things about reading and writing. This pin is a great way to incorporate imagery which Duffy states is, "using prior knowledge about [descriptive] words and about our senses to create an image in the mind" (Duffy, p.117). "The relationship between reading and writing is particularity clear when teaching imaging...the more students practice composing text that helps readers create images, the better they will be at creating images as readers" (p. 121).:

My 2nd Purple DIY Canvas Wall Art, way too simple. :) Quote by Langston Hughes "Dreams" I originally was thinking of writing each word onto the canvas one by one, but seeing how long it would take me, I gave up and tried this method instead. All I needed was construction paper, my printer, a canvas that I painted black, and mod podge to glue and then seal. Super easy. Happy crafting! Check out my other DIY if you haven't already :):
