Using Description- Sensory Details

Description
It is the recipe for a great narrative. Your job is to make the story a mind movie for your reader.  
In the past 2 blog posts, you have learned how to detail a person, place, or thing, and how to elaborate an event.  Today you'll learn to use description by adding sensory details.

Sensory Details
Sensory details use your senses- taste, touch, feel, hear, and see.  Choose a part of your story that would pop out at the reader better if you described it using one or more of your senses.

Example
It is raining outside.

Using Sensory Details
I took this piece of writing from Jadee's blog.  I think she did a nice job using sensory details here.
I can hear the rain pouring down, hitting the ground, making a “splash”. It feels cold and refreshing, considering I had just woke up.
