What I have learned from this Extension:

Enter you text here.

Delete this table before submitting your project. Click [HERE] and click the Delete Table icon.
What is it?
  • A sense memory is a memory that is recalled when you are stimulated by a specific touch, taste, smell, sound, or sight.
  • A strong sense memory will cause you to relive the event - to actually revisit it in your memory and touch, taste, smell, hear, or see again.

Authors use sense memory to give a character memories, to advance plot or provide background, and to introduce other characters, but also to create a real, feeling and "round" person with whom the reader can identify. Sense memories are often keys to theme.
Directions: Your job is to link each cell in the table to one sense memory of your own. You must use each of the 5 senses and you must include at least one short story. You might want to substitute your own visual or structure for the table. Notice that you asked to communicate 9 separate memories.

When you have completed the 9 memories, study them. In the space indicated, write what you learn from them about sense memory, about yourself and what is important to you, about what makes you happy and sad.

Ideas:
  • a sound clip with a memory of where you heard it
  • a photograph with a short comment
  • a story told in pictures or photographs
  • an original drawing which tells its own story or which communicates an emotion
  • someone else's voice
  • an animated collage of scanned images which are a metaphor for an event or a person, with a very brief comment.

Hyperlinking in Word ’97:

Directions for linking to another file:
    1. Place an object in the box to represent or summarize the sense memory: text, a graphic, a colored shape – in some cases, this graphic will be the memory, in which case you will link to a short comment on this document (see below) or in a comment file.
    2. Make sure that the file to which you will reference (sound, movie, text, PowerPoint slide show) resides in the same directory as this document.
    3. Select the cell object (single left click) – highlight text
    4. Follow these steps: Insert – Hyperlink OR Control-K
    5. Use the upper Browse button to locate the file, select it, OK.
    6. Test the link. Use the Back arrow to return to this document.

Directions for linking to a bookmark on this document (to link a graphic to your text explanation if you wish).
    1. First create the text on this document, as I have done here.
    2. Select the first word of the document, or its title.
    3. Select Insert – Bookmark. Change the bookmark name if necessary – no spaces and it can not be just a number.
    4. Select Add (or just Enter).
    5. Test the link. Use the Back arrow to return to the table.

My elbow had broken in a fall the night before, enough to be painful but not enough to merit a cast, much less sympathy. I carried the family-sized cast iron frying pay outside to rid it of winter's damage, cradling it with my bandaged arm, grumbling that the red rust stain should be both inedible and resistant to cleansing with oil, that the old copper pipes could not have withstood a last short freezing (unfinished…) A story like this should be a separate Word document.
