Show not tell sentences

This term we are creating exciting narratives to entertain our readers. To do this we need to make sure that we are writing 'show not tell' sentences. This is what room 14 think that means:

We need to use description
We need to use dialogue
We have to focus on the important parts and remove boring parts
We should give our reader clues
We need to make our reader visualise
We should use powerful verbs
Our reader has to infer (do a bit of work)

We practised this today with our learning buddies. First, we came up with some emotions and then we had to write a sentence with our buddy on a post it note that would show, not tell, our reader how a character was feeling.

Here are some of our show, not tell sentences.
