Day Four:
Our next stop in Castle Writemore is the stable yard. We have all sorts of horses that live here. We also have unicorns, griffons, and a pegasus. We've even got a two headed goat who loves to sing duets. His name is Fred-Fred. That's right. Each head is named Fred. It's very confusing.
And look! The stable keepers are bringing in a big wooden crate. There is something inside of it! It's a brand new creature. Something no one has ever seen before. Peek inside the crate, and then describe what it looks like, sounds like, and maybe even what it smells like!

Teacher Tips...
​
Goal: Use Imagery to describe the animal/creature inside the imaginary crate.
​
Imagery is an important literary tool. "Imagery draws on the five senses, namely the details of taste, touch, sight, smell, and sound" (LiteraryDevices.com). In this prompt, help learners understand the following aspects of imagery:
​
What does it look like?
What does it sound like?
What does it feel like?
What does it smell like?
​
Hands-on learners may want to create something such as an illustration or a sculpture to depict what is inside the crate. They may want to write or story-tell during or after the project.
