Assignment 5

1.  In class, you were required to write about a specific place, expounding on its literal details using sensory description.  Now, create a blog of at least 300 words that details a place from your childhood.  This could be a restaurant, park, house, amusement park, stadium, school, classroom, etc.  Be descriptive in your writing and employ all the senses--taste, touch, smell, sight, sound.  Let the language construct the scene.  Let the senses create the tone and the mood.  Avoid abstract statements like "The stadium felt chaotic" or "The room was boisterous."  Create such feels (like chaos and boisterousness) by using specific details that emanate those tones.  Again, make sure your post is at least 300 words.
2.  On Thursday, WE WILL BE MEETING AT THE ART INSTITUTE.  WE WILL BE MEETING AT THE LION ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BUILDING (facing west.)  SEE BELOW:
