Show Not Tell Part 2.

WALT: look at the features of an effective paragraph.

The Night Sky.

 1. The sky was pitch black but the stars were shining from the sky. The trees were black and the wind was blowing. The colour of the Star Struck was like a wave going along the sky. The colour was glancing in my eyes as I looked at it.

 The Sunset.

 2. As the sun was about to go down it slowly went down and the moon was coming up. The orange sunset was beautiful you could see it from somebody’s eyes. The sun went down and the moon came up the sky was orange and black with stars in the sky.

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.
