Show It Better

Students practice rewriting simple telling sentences into vivid showing sentences. Each prompt provides a basic statement, such as “The hallway was scary” or “The soup tasted good,” and learners must rewrite each sentence using sensory detail, imagery, and action. This activity teaches the essential writing skill of transforming telling into showing. Students gain practice using descriptive language that helps readers imagine scenes more clearly. The worksheet strengthens their ability to express mood, texture, sound, and other specific qualities in their writing.
