1. Which statement best describes literary imagery?

Language that creates pictures and sensory impressions for the reader

A list of characters in the story

2. Match each short line with the primary sense it appeals to. Draw a line between columns.

A. "Her palms tasted of salt and smoke."

B. "The gravel sang under his boots."

C. "The horizon bled orange as the sun sank."

1. Sight

2. Taste

3. Sound

3. Check all phrases below that show sensory imagery (tick all that apply):

"A cold wind cut across the plain"

"He walked into the school building"

"The coffee steamed, bitter and strong"

"She thought about the problem for hours"

4. Identify one vivid example of imagery from 47 Degrees. Copy the quote (or write the excerpt) and name the sense it appeals to:

Quote/excerpt: _____________________________________________

Sense (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch): ____

Success Criteria (for Part 1)

• I can identify sensory language and name the sense it evokes.

• I can match imagery examples to their effects (sound, sight, taste, touch, smell).

✏️ Part 2: Project Planning & Presentation

5. On your poster you will include three examples of imagery. List brief labels for Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3 (e.g., "Storm at the bridge"):

Example 1: ___________________________

Example 2: ___________________________

Example 3: ___________________________

6. For each example above, write a short explanation (one or two sentences) saying how the imagery helps show the novel’s theme of resilience.

Example 1 explanation:

Example 2 explanation:

Example 3 explanation:

7. Quick sketch: Draw a small visual or symbol you will use on your poster to represent one piece of imagery (keep it simple).

8. Presentation checklist — tick items you will practise before presenting:

Practise speaking clearly and at a steady pace

Time my presentation to stay within the limit

Check my poster for clear quotes and labels

Plan one sentence linking imagery to resilience for the audience

Success Criteria (for Part 2)

• My poster includes three clear examples of imagery with supporting quotes.

• Each example has a concise explanation linking sensory detail to resilience.

• I can present my ideas clearly with appropriate pace and audience awareness.

Differentiation & Extension

Support: Use sentence starters such as "This image creates a feeling of ___ by showing ___" or choose from a teacher-provided list of quotes.

Extension: Analyse a more complex passage for layered imagery, or write a short original descriptive paragraph (100–150 words) that echoes the novel’s theme and sensory detail.
