Tasc 4

Emotive Language 

When we write, we don’t just tell the reader how someone feels,  we show it using powerful description so the reader can imagine it for themselves.

👉 “I was scared.”

That’s called telling.

But if I say:
👉 “My hands trembled and my heart pounded as I heard footsteps outside the door.”

That is showing -  it helps the reader feel the fear.

You are going to choose an emotion and draw it. Instead of telling me what the character is feeling, show it in your writing!

 

Tasc 5:

Upgrade weak vocabulary:
Replace basic words with more precise and powerful alternatives.

“very big” → vast / enormous / immense

“cool” → magnificent / impressive / striking

“happy” → joyful / delighted / triumphant

“scared” → terrified / anxious / fearful

Using a thesaurus, can we create our own word wall?

Din: Can you use your new words in a sentence about Ancient Egypt?
