FEEDBACK ON ENGLISH SESSION
ANVI – SPEAK UP! ACT NOW!
Topic – Creative writing
During the session on creative writing, Anvi engaged in discussions encompassing various elements such as imagination, creativity, wonder, writing, and language. The session extended to the eight parts of speech, namely prepositions, conjunctions, articles, adjectives, nouns, adverbs, verbs, and interjections. The students were introduced to a new term, namely “IMAGERY,” as a literary device employed in poetry, novels, and other forms of writing.
Students gained insights into the transformative power of creative writing, discovering that it enhances their imagination by allowing them to craft new words, situations, and characters. The process instils confidence in their abilities, improves problem-solving skills, expands vocabulary, and refines communication abilities. The discussion highlighted that imagery serves as a potent tool, rendering abstract concepts like emotions or theories more tangible to readers. Furthermore, it was emphasized that imagery plays a crucial role in memory, future planning, navigation, and decision-making.
Topic – Imagery and its types, as well as, simile and metaphor
Anvi explained about Imagery and its types, namely, Visual, Auditory, Organic, Kinesthetic, Tactile, Olfactory, Gustatory. This session included discussion on “Similes and Metaphors.”
Simile – A word or phrase that compares something to something else using the words ‘like’ or ‘as’.
Metaphor – A word or phrase that is used in an imaginative way to show that somebody/something has the same qualities as something else.
Idioms – A phrase that actually means something different from its literal meaning.
A discussion based on the descriptive writing and their types in the session also took place:
- Writing about a person (simile/metaphor/idioms)
