Gentle Rewrites

This worksheet asks students to rewrite blunt or harsh sentences using polite euphemisms. Each sentence provides a direct, potentially insensitive phrasing, and learners must revise it to sound more considerate. This process strengthens students’ rewriting skills, tone control, and awareness of how language can convey empathy. Students demonstrate understanding by crafting sentences that preserve meaning while altering tone. The activity supports thoughtful communication and respectful expression.
