Show not tell.

WALT: show our audience with our words rather than directly tell - 'Show not Tell'.

Work with a partner to see if you can rewrite one of these  to ‘Show not Tell’

I felt angry: I threw my book onto the floor,
I messed up my room as I slammed the door,
I screamed as loud as I could.

It was a sunny day: The sun was bursting onto my head and arms,
My arms are burning.
as I was sweating I was holding an umbrella
going into the water but I was running out.  

It was cold at the beach: I put my jacket on,
I put my hands together and I started to rub them together,
I put gloves on and a scurf.

Brainstorm as many different ideas as you can that show that it was cold at the beach.

Brainstorm: putting extra gloves on, putting Scarf on, putting my Jacket on,
Rubbing my hands, Blowing on my hands to keep them warm,
The wind was strong and the wind was blowing my hair all around.

Now try to write a paragraph using these ideas that shows it was cold at the beach,
without using the words beach or cold
(don't just switch the word cold to another adjective such as freezing
as that is still just telling. - Try to show that you are cold.
Think about how you are feeling/what you are doing/what you see/hear/feel to help show this.

I put my jumper and jacket on,
I put my gloves on my hands,
I put a scarf around my neck as I was rubbing my hands together,
I put extra socks and gloves on.
I blew onto my hands to get them warm,
I was rubbing my legs and arms together.
The sky was grey and the waves were big and clashing together
the was under the clouds nowhere to be found.

We are learning to show our audience with our words rather than directly tell -'Show not tell'.

Paragraph Writing.

WALT: understand what needs to go in a paragraph so we can construct one ourselves

Who is my hero?
 Paragraph writing Point: What is the point of this paragraph? Stephen Curry & Will Smith is my hero because they do things, like Stephen Curry plays basketball and I love Basketball. Will Smith is an actor and I love to act. That’s why Stephen Curry & Will Smith is my hero.

 Explain: Explain your point so that the reader knows what your point is about, and so you know what you are writing about. The reason why I love basketball and acting is because I just love to do those things, it’s way better than sitting inside your house watching TV or on the internet. I love to shot the ball in the hoop and I love to vs other people. I love acting because you can use your expression and I love to talk to other people by acting.

 Example/Evidence: is there anything from your research or that you know that can back up your point? Stephen Curry is popular because he has defied expectations, he's fun to watch, and his game is relocatable. Stephen Curry grew up around professional basketball. His father, Dell, was by all rights a very successful NBA player[1]and a tremendous jump shooter. Willard Carroll “Will” Smith Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an American actor, producer, comedian, rapper and songwriter. In April 2007, Newsweek called him "the most powerful actor in Hollywood".

 Relevance: summarise your paragraph and link it back to the question! Stephen Curry is my hero because he is a great sportsmanship and Will Smith is my hero because he is a great actor and he is very cool and supportive and so is Stephen Curry.

We are learning to understand what needs to go in a paragraph so we can construct one ourselves.

So keep on reading to find something you have never heard.
Information 1st element	Are you giving up most of the time? Well you should never give up because if you do you won’t know something if you keep on giving up. I'll tell you a little thing or 2 about never giving up. The first one is don’t be shy to ask for help because, if you ask for help you will understand more, second of all keep on going by never giving up.
Information 2nd element	If you have never tried something new that means you haven't learnt that much, but that doesn’t mean that your dump, it means try something new so you can learn something new. So you should try something new most of the time.
Information 3rd element	When you want to play with your friends and someone ask you if they can play, what happens if you say NO? So if you say no then you don’t really care about others, But that’s not the answer look what would happen if you say. If you say NO! they will feel sad and left out but we don’t want that to happen right? So if someone ask you if they can play with you and your friends say Yes! and help them out.
Conclusion	Thank you to all of you out there for looking at my blog and reading My idea of perseverance. I hope you have enjoyed my blog and reading this doc.
