Stop reading now and go finish reading the book! If you haven’t read the entire book yet, STOP reading this and go finish the book! All others, gallop in!  \nSensory Description  \nBelow are some examples of the wonderful descriptive language in Soul Riders: Jorvik Calling. Which sense is targeted in each description? List sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch.  \n• “The house that was now theirs…was slightly crooked, with mullioned windows, twisted vines climbing up the walls, and overlapping, cinnamon-colored shingles on the slanted roof.”(p. 23)  \nSense:    \n• “The smell of warm pine needles filled her nose as she rode along the winding roads…”(p. 35) Sense:   \n• “She had woken with a start to the sound of a car engine. Tires against gravel, birds singing loudly.”(p. 42) Sense:   \n• “Lisa gently touched his muzzle. It was silky smooth and warm.”(p. 56) Sense:   \nPractice sensory writing by describing your home, favorite outdoor spot, mode of transportation, or pet/animal. Try to use all of your senses!  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\n2  \nSimiles  \nThe author also uses similes to help readers experience the story. A simile is a comparison between two things using the words like or as. Similes help readers experience a story by comparing things or events to something readers already know. Here are some examples from Soul Riders: Jorvik Calling:  \n• “Everything felt stiff and hard to adjust to, like when you first put on a new pair of jeans.”(p. 32)  \n• “A melody, at once both strange and familiar, flowed through her like a trickling brook.”(p. 60)  \n• “Over the next few days, time stretched out like rubber bands, snapping back whenever Lisa least expected it.”(p. 61)  \nBelow are the first parts of some similes from Soul Riders: Jorvik Calling. Use your imagination to complete each simile.  \n• “Despite her fears, there was something about these girls. Lisa liked being with them.”(p.46)  \nIt kind of felt like    \n• “(Sabine) was tall and powerful and prowled along the bushes...”(p.48)  \njust like:    \n• “The driver had rolled the tinted window down enough for them to see that it was a man.”(p.47)  \n…His face had sharp features that looked as if:    \n3  \nLITERATURE: CHARACTER TRAITS  \nWe all have character traits, the many different things about us that make us unique. When writers create characters, they tell and show us the characters’ traits through the story. These traits can be external (such as appearance and personality) and/or internal (such as thoughts and beliefs). The reader’s job is to infer a character’s traits from what the character does, says, and thinks.  \nFor example, near the beginning of Soul Riders: Jorvik Calling, the author describes Lisa: “Regular old Lisa in her worn-out jeans and an old hoodie, with her headphones around her neck or resting snugly over her tousled, brightred hair.”(p. 10) What does this tell us about the character? The author tells us directly that Lisa has bright red hair. She wears old, comfortable clothes, so we can infer that comfort is more important to her than fashion, and she isn’t worried about what others think of her appearance. She wears headphones, so we can speculate she probably likes to listen to music—it’s important to her. She can also use her headphones and hoodie as a sort of defense to keep other people away.  \nIdentifying Character Traits  \nRead the following excerpts from the story and identify the character. Then, write some character traits you think each excerpt shows.  \n• “The girl asking for a canter had messy, tawny hair and an open, lively face that brimmed with curiosity and mischief.”(p. 19)  \nCharacter: _______________________ Traits: ____________________________________________________________  \n• “She was tall and lanky, and walked slightly bent over as if she hadn’t quite grown accustomed to her heigh","cbCaiflE19KhVWJW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiflE19KhVWJW","pdf",14224551,20,"English","# Descriptive Language\n## Sensory Description\n## Similes\n# Character Traits\n## Identifying Character Traits\n## Fantasy Casting\n## Creative Writing Prompts","[{\"question\":\"What are the sensory description tasks in the guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide asks learners to match examples to targeted senses such as sight, hearing, smell, taste, or touch, and then practice by describing places, transportation, or pets using multiple senses.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the guide define and use similes?\",\"answer\":\"A simile is explained as a comparison using the words like or as.
