Three-Detail Revision

Students revise each telling sentence by adding three concrete details that show what is happening. These details might include actions, sensory clues, or specific descriptions that help the reader visualize the scene. This activity teaches students how to expand short statements into richer, more engaging writing. By generating multiple details per sentence, learners strengthen observational skills and descriptive precision. The exercise develops strong habits for crafting vivid and meaningful narrative moments.
