WHAT IS IT?

Good writers have to be able to paint pictures with words (that's called imagery).

Look at the photo above.

1. Describe how it looks: size, color, shape, what it's made of, and so on.

2. Imagine how it's used.

3. Speculate as to where it might be found.

4. Make up a one-page story about the object, using the imagery you have constricted in steps 1, 2, and 3.
