Show, Don’t Tell Sheet (1)

Overview:

This worksheet provides sentences that "tell." Students are tasked with rewriting them to "show" the same information through descriptive language. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the difference between "showing" and "telling" in writing.
• Transform simple statements into engaging sentences using sensory details and dynamic language.

How the Activity Works:

Students are given a series of "telling" sentences and are asked to rewrite them with more descriptive language, using vivid verbs and precise adjectives to "show" the information instead. This worksheet helps students develop their creative and descriptive writing skills.
