Generalize



A generalization is a broad statement or
rule that applies to many examples.
A clue word such as all, most, always,
usually, or generally signals that an author
is making a generalization.
Some generalizations are valid, which
means that they are supported by facts or
details. Some are faulty, which means that
they are not supported.
Imagery/Sensory Words



Imagery, or sensory language, is the use of
words that describe how things look, sound,
smell, taste, or feel. Writers use imagery to
help give readers a strong mental picture.
Imagery helps readers understand the
setting, mood, characters, and action in a
story.
When reading, note the words that help you
see, smell, hear, taste, or feel what is
happening.
