Week 2 Writing Homework

Writing Prompt: Write a short descriptive piece (150–200 words) about stepping into a secret garden you’ve discovered. Use the Sensory Zoom technique to describe the garden with one sentence for each sense (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste), creating an immersive scene. Focus on precise vocabulary and figurative language to make the garden feel unique and enchanting.

Include each of the five senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste). Include at least one metaphor or simile to enhance one sensory description. Use sensory counterpoint (e.g., pair a delicate sensation with a dangerous or contrasting one).

Choose precise, ambitious vocabulary (e.g., “iridescent” instead of “shiny”). Create an emotional effect (e.g., awe, curiosity) tied to the sensory details.
