Description
Most creative writers have heard the term "show, don't tell." But young minds may not completely grasp what that truly means. Completing these show don't tell activities will help students understand the idea of showing and why it is superior to telling.
Digital activity is pre-made by me. Just download and digitally assign to your students! You also have the option of adding and/or changing the digital activities!
Students will learn:
- How to use showing using body language
- How to use showing using facial expressions
- How to use showing using vocal cues
- The differences between showing and telling
- And more!
This is the third is my Improve Creative Writing series. Be sure to check out the other two below!
Super cool people follow me. :)
