English Ten Period 6

1. Use the Sense chart to record/write down excerpts from "Indian Education" that appeal to sight (visual imagery); hearing--something that you can hear Alexie say or chant; an aspect of the text that appealed to touch; taste; and smell. For example, in Fifth Grade when Aleixe remembers his cousin, Steven Ford sniffing rubber cement, that excerpt would be written under the nose because it appeals to sense of smell.  you must have two examples for each of the five senses on your chart.
