Imagery Worksheet 1
In this worksheet, students identify the type of imagery (smell, taste, etc.) used in each example and then say what mood is created in the reader by each description.
Imagery is a literary device whereby a writer uses vivid descriptions of things as experienced through one of the five senses: sight, touch, smell, taste, and sound. The rich descriptions involved in imagery are often intended to create a certain mood (emotion) in the reader. They help pull the reader into the story by enhancing descriptions of setting, characters, and action.
Imagery is somewhat unusual in that it is a form of figurative language that often incorporates other forms of figurative language. Similes, metaphors, and personification are some of the different types of figurative language commonly seen in imagery.
