We have been working on turning telling sentences into showing sentences.
Remember:
Word Choice can make a difference in your writing. Showing is more powerful than telling. Words that speak to the senses build images. Words that describe sounds, smells, and tastes evoke memories. Flat, dull, boring, or vivid, resonant, and lucid-- how will it be? Where will we find those few well-chosen words to dazzle the mind's eye?

Now I challenge you to turn these telling sentences into good showing ones.
Remeber to work on your own or with a peer as you can work collaboratively in the wiki.

Ale: I did the two showing and telling sentences! It was very fun doing it!! Can you put more sentences? Here is a challenge for us all, instead of putting the telling sentence and that we have to write the showing one put us a showing sentence(a long one, if not is not a challenge) and we have to put the telling sentence! It will be fun too!I think it's a great prectice for us for then to know it good in class!! Keep posting your nice and interesting comments and...
See you soon...!

Miss Ale: I´m going to enter to this new and excited work. This is a great idea for all of us because we can tell or write a story with details. This Ale is a very interesting thong that I´m learning and know we can write our own stories with details, expression or expand ideas all those things that make a reader interest on your and imagine the images in their own mind.
