Show Don't Tell Writing Strategy

Show Don't Tell Writing Strategy

Here's how it works:

- Think of a person, place or thing (Noun).  

- On the left, think of as many “describing” words about your noun as you can.  Be creative and try to include all of your senses when you are describing.  

- On the right, include things that you noun “reminds” you of – e.g. Mother – apple pie, dog- burying bones in the garden  

- Trade papers with a classmate and see if they can name your noun.
