Show, Don’t Tell

Learners practice rewriting a short passage using the “show, don’t tell” technique. Instead of stating that Trevor is angry, they must reveal his emotion through actions, dialogue, and body language. This creative writing task builds narrative skill, emotional depth, and descriptive precision.
