A writing having special and practical knowledge
especially of a mechanical or scientific subject.
SENSORY EXPERIENCE
The apprehension of an object, thought, or
emotion through the senses; active participation
in events or activities, leading to the
accumulation of knowledge or skill.
LANGUAGE
a) Imagery language that causes people to imagine
pictures in their minds, picture or photograph.
b) Figures of Speech also known as figurative
language, it creates figures (pictures) in the mind of
the reader or listener. These pictures help convey
the meaning and more vividly than words alone. We
use figures of speech in figurative language to add
colour and interest, and awaken the imagination.
Figurative language is everywhere, from classical
works like Shakespeares and the Bible, to everyday
speech, pop music, and television commercials.
Figurative language means something different from
what it says on the surface.

scheme. It was made popular by Shakespeare.

SAMPLE POEMS
FOR CHILDREN
LADY BUG
Lady bug, lady bug,
Fly away home,
Your house is on fire,
Your children will burn.
THE WIND
I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies skirts across the grassO wind, a-blowing all day long
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
I saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you push, I heard you call,
I could not see yourself at allO wind, a-blowing all day long
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
Free Verse
Author: Walt Whitman
I saw in Louisiana a live-oak growing
All alone stood it and the moss hung down from the
branches,
Without any companion it grew there uttering joyous
leaves of dark green
And its look, rude, unbending, lusty, made me think of
myself!
