📘 1. NEW CORE CHAPTER (SENSORY + STRUCTURED THINKING)

 

✍️ Accessible Creative Thinking: Using Senses and Questions

Writing does not start with sentences.

Writing starts with thinking.

Some people need support to:

• imagine ideas
• describe things
• build characters
• understand purpose

Accessible creative thinking helps people do this step by step.

---

🧠 Step 1: Use the Senses

The five senses help people describe the world.

👀 Sight (What can you see?)

• colours
• shapes
• people
• objects

👂 Sound (What can you hear?)

• voices
• noise
• silence
• music

👃 Smell (What can you smell?)

• food
• fresh air
• smoke
• perfume

✋ Touch (What can you feel?)

• soft
• rough
• hot
• cold

👅 Taste (What can you taste?)

• sweet
• salty
• sour
• bitter

👉 This helps build description without complex language

---

🧩 Step 2: Build Ideas Using Nouns

Start simple.

Think of:

• a person
• a place
• an object

Examples:

• a boy
• a park
• a bag

These are nouns.

Nouns are the building blocks of writing.

---

🎭 Step 3: Create Characters

Ask simple questions:

• Who is the person?
• What is their name?
• What do they feel?
• What do they want?

Keep answers short.

---

❓ Step 4: Use the Key Questions

These questions give structure:

• Who?
• What?
• Where?
• When?
• Why?
• How?

👉 These questions:

• guide thinking
• reduce confusion
• help build a full story

---

🎯 Step 5: Give the Writing a Purpose

Every piece of writing needs a purpose.

Examples:

• to tell a story
• to explain something
• to share feelings
• to teach

Ask:
👉 “Why am I writing this?”

---

🌍 Final Message

Accessible writing starts before writing.

It starts with:

• thinking
• sensing
• questioning
• and building ideas step by step

This helps more people become confident writers.

Sam touches an orange.

The orange feels rough.

Sam tastes a sample.
