and think about sensations (what you see, hear, taste, touch, & smell)

Strategy 2:Elaborate on Details• Remember to “show” and not
just “tell”• Instead of making statements,
describe them• Describe action, physical states
(setting) & internal states (feelings)

life?• What’s its role in popular culture?
