Creating Style… Show don’t tell….
Look at the following paragraph. How can this writing be summed up in ONE word? • Sweat dripped and dribbled down my face. My legs trembled so much that I was scared I would violently collapse. I hid behind the enveloping shadows of the red, colossal curtain in the wings of the stage. Panic began to creep into my mind and build a fortress of doubt. I knew I was on next…would I remember my lines?
Sum this writing up in ONE word: • Walking through the hallway, I felt the thousands of eyes of my peers burning holes into my back as I trudged through this never-ending sea of judgment. Their stares were like heated, steel rods being thrust through my body. The thought of what I had done weighed heavy on my mind; however, it hardly compared to the sorrow I held in my heart for committing the unspeakable act. Turning back time will never happen, but perhaps forgiveness will. I hope.
Show me…. • Fury
Show me… • Sorrow
Show me… • Anxiety
Show me… • Determination
Show me… • Jubilation
Your ticket to the library: • Decide on a word that you would like to SHOW me using strong word choice. Remember to appeal to the 5 SENSES (imagery) and create figurative language in your description. • Write the word on the side of the card with NO LINES. • Show me the word on the side with lines. • Turn in to me when finished.
