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!
