Mood Makeover

This worksheet helps students practice transforming flat emotional sentences into vivid, expressive writing. In Part 1, learners rewrite simple sentences to make the emotions more engaging through descriptive word choice and sensory detail. In Part 2, they expand selected sentences into 3-5 sentence mini scenes that “show” the emotion instead of naming it directly. This activity strengthens students’ narrative writing, emotional expression, and ability to use figurative and sensory language effectively.
