Explore Your Senses and Memories

Our senses have a powerful connection to our memories—they help us relive moments and feelings in a very special way.

This week, I want you to explore how one of your senses (sight, sound, touch, or taste) is tied to a memory that’s meaningful to you.

It’s a chance to be creative and reflect on the moments that have shaped you while practicing descriptive language in English.

I think you’ll enjoy this because it’s personal, fun, and a little different from what we’ve done before!

1. Choose a Different Sense

Instead of focusing on smell, choose another sense (sight, sound, touch, or taste) that triggers memories for you.

Describe Your Memory

Write a short paragraph (6–8 sentences) describing a memory that is connected to that sense. Use sensory details to make it vivid.

• For sight: Describe what you saw.
• For sound: Describe what you heard and how it made you feel.
• For touch: Describe what you felt (e.g., warmth, softness, roughness).
• For taste: Describe what you tasted and the emotions it brought.

3. A Sensory Collage

Find or draw one picture that represents the memory you described.

Write 3–4 words around the picture to describe the feelings or senses connected to the memory.
