Example: 
First week of school (imagery) 
As I walked into my English class for the first time this year, I didn’t know what to expect.  As I quickly scanned the room, a few new faces in the class carried expressions of anxiety and nervousness like my own. The others I’d seen for so many years hadn’t changed at all. The odor of freshly painted walls and slippery, waxed floors indicated that the summer crew had done its job.  As usual, the teacher had her desks and chairs arranged in perfect rows. 

 I provided details of the classroom and the expressions of the students, the smell of the paint, and texture of the floor using visual, olfactory, and tactile imagery. 

 I hoped to create a nostalgic tone via my details/imagery.

 I wanted to highlight that nervous, at times awkward, feeling we all tend to feel when introduced to something new.
