Good writing
A key concept in good writing = “show don’t tell”
Examples of “telling”:
Tom was mad.
It was a pretty crummy place.
It was a great game.Slide9
Showing
We can “show” more effectively by adding to/elaborating upon:
Action
Dialogue
D
escription
“Good writing makes the reader see” HandoutSlide10
Let’s try this as a group
I
t
was a pretty crummy place.
As a class we need to decide what kind of place we’re talking about (house, building, particular locale?)
Each person needs provide one specific detail that will add to this description
Lets build a description together!Slide11
Look back at your bell work from today and yesterday
Find an example where you’re doing a great job of showing – highlight the sentence in yellow
Find an example where you’re telling – revise it!
Let’s share some great examples of showing! Pick a sentence or two!Slide12
