Welcome to another post on my blog. After finishing the introduction of the Creative Writing unit, we move on to a new unit, the Narrative. The first activity I chose to complete was, 'Show, Don't Tell'. For this activity, we had to answer a few questions relating to the activity.
Task:
What do you think “show don’t tell” means?
How can we re-write these sentences to “show” and not “tell”?
The buildings were tall.
Sarah was really upset.
She was so happy to see him.
The lake was beautiful.
My re-written sentences:
Tall skyscrapers, covering the sky, leaning and looking up
Sarah tears slowly tearing down waiting for someone to meet her.
Overjoyed Sarah running towards him got swung up in the air.
The gleaming blue lake was surrounded by towering glaciers.
