Kamusta amazing readers,
The start of this term, room 9 have been learning to write a strong narrative. It has to be believable, descriptive, consistent and needs a strong structure.
Yesterday my class and I learned how to show not tell to our audience by picking a paragraph from a story we have made and highlighting all the verbs and changing the weak ones to much stronger ones. I completed mine because I used a synonym dictionary.
Here’s an example:
Al gave miss D a coffee.
And this is the change I made,
Al kindly gifted Miss D a cup of tasty cappuccino.
Thank you for checking out my post, hope you learnt something about the difference of weak action words and strong verbs! Here’s a link of the synonym dictionary I used, Click here fo the link
Thank you for explaining your learning.I often read blogs and am unsure why they have posted it as there is no introduction.Well done Zahina.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how some words can make a boring story into something spectacular.
I hope Miss D enjoyed her tasty drink.What drink do you enjoy?.
I like sipping a delicious hot chocolate on cold wintry days.
