Show don't tell

Hi guys, We are starting a new topic, For English. We have to move on to Creative writing and do the new topic. Im gonna start the first task we need to do. We are doing Narrative writing and the first task is we have to make our own show don't tell its like narrative words.


The Task Is:

What do you think “show don’t tell” means?

How can we re-write these sentences to “show” and not “tell”?

The buildings were tall.
Sarah was really upset.
She was so happy to see him.
The lake was beautiful.

 

1. I cant see the sun because the big concrete blocks blinded my view
 2. Sarah staying silent, sitting on the bed, Her eyes full of tears and anger
3.Sarah eyes full of Jovial and she is very excited, her smile like she won a Million Dollars
4.The pound was beautiful like flowers, the bird singing up in the tree
.

 

Try this on your own now, and post it to your blog.

My Own:

Mark was really shy

Tony was very sad

He was very excited to see her

The dog is very cute
