Wordia and the Air Crystal
Defining imagery and citing
specific experiences
You are off to a magical place known as Wordia.
Diego will show you the way. However, this place
is guarded by the Sensorriors. To defeat them you
have to match each item correctly. Answer three
(3) and above correctly and the gate will open for
you. Good luck!
What is the corresponding name of imagery
for each sense. Match each item correctly.
Great! If you were able to score three (3) to five
(5) correctly, you may advance to the next
learning challenge to warm you up. However, if
you got only two (2) and below, you have to retry.
Good luck!
A royal announcement from the ruler of Wordia greets you. It contains
underlined phrases. Try to determine the imagery used before we get to
learn them more.
Good! Your answers indeed proved that you have a prior knowledge of
the different types of imagery. Let us learn more about them. In creative
writing, you will be making a lot of descriptions. The descriptive details
are necessary to make your writing clear because they help generate a
specific mood or emotion. They are called images and sensory
impressions. We commonly know these as imagery. Imagery is a form of
figurative/implied language that uses objects, actions and ideas in such a
way that it appeals to the senses. It is usually associated with mental
pictures or images formed in our minds.
There are five (5) basic types of imageries: Visual, Auditory, Olfactory,
Gustatory and Tactile. Others references include kinesthetic and thermal this
module will target only the basic ones.
• Visual Imagery appeals to the sense of sight. It is something that is
concrete and can be seen.
Example: It was dark and dim in the forest.
• Auditory Imagery appeals to the sense of hearing. It is something
that you can hear through your mind’s ears.
Example: The pattering of the rain is
heard against the window pane.
• Olfactory Imagery appeals to the sense of smell. It is something that you
can smell through your mind’s nose.
Example: The stench of body odor in a crowded LRT seeped through the fabric
of my shirt.
• Gustatory Imagery appeals to the sense of taste. It is something that you
can taste through your mind’s tongue.
Example: Mouth-watering ripe mangoes, tender melons, and luscious cherries
are served on a tray.
• Tactile Imagery appeals to the sense of touch. It is something that you
can touch through your mind’s skin.
Example: The soft velvety feel of silk and satin caressed my skin.
Your experiences may be shared using imagery. Do you remember
instances where you talked to someone and described well the
happening? Did your listener understand you by way of imagination?
Well, that is the use of IMAGERIES.
The King of Wordia sent you challenges that you need to surpass.
He assures you of the air crystal once you get a passing score. Best of luck!

Using the poem below composed by the King, imagine its message

Permit the words I write upon this page
To remain truthful, hammered into stone
All walk the path of life
But only fools attempt to walk alone.
But you and I need not accept this fate
For night’s dread purpose flees before true love.
My love for you will never fade
You are my saving rain from up above.
Our paths may wind but may never be apart
Because you are the keeper of my heart
1. What do you mean by ---“My love for you will never fade”? Cite an
experience that shows/proves this.
2. When can you say that someone really keeps one’s heart? Cite an
experience.
3. Interview you parent(s)/guardian(s) and ask them how they feel
about the poem? How do they define love? Is it the same with your
own definition?
Write a creative essay entry (not more than 300 words) as a reply to the poem
written by the King. Use your knowledge about imageries to make your essay more
descriptive. You may imagine someone has written it for you. Use along-sized bond

Wow! Those were overwhelming tasks. But nothing is impossible if
there is
teamwork.
Congratulations! You just earned the air crystal. It has the power of
teleportation that we can use as we journey to more kingdoms to
collect the
other elemental crystals. Together we can achieve better and more!
