In Chapter 8 of "Holes", Louis Sachar gives an in depth description of the infamous yellow-spotted lizards.
How to integrate this activity into class: 1. Read Chapter 8 aloud to your class 2. Ask them "Why did Louis Sachar dedicate an entire chapter just to the yellow-spotted lizards? 3. Re-read chapter 8 and ask students to close their eyes and imagine what the author is describing. 4. Ask students to lock that picture in their brain! 5. I passed out blank lizards and had students color the lizard to match the picture they had imagined. 6. Then, students found a quote from chapter 8 that supported their image(an example of imagery) 7. Last, I had students copy the definition of imagery '"into" their hole.
