Revision Tips 2

Narrow Topic Revision

Revise your ideas: Elaborate

 

How do we make our writing come alive?  DETAILS!

But what exactly does that mean? Here's what we have been practicing:

Description: Describes what something looks like or sounds like (imagery/senses)

Detail:  Adds who, what, when, why, where, how information (specific) (5Ws+H)

Strong Verbs:  Shows action (can it be done?) --- pulls, slips, yells

Emotions: Explains feelings: How were you feeling? How was the character feeling? How do the characters feel about each other?

Thoughts: Explains what you or our characters thing: What are the characters thinking?

Example: Provides an anecdote (short story in a few sentences), evidence (for instance, for example)

Dialogue: Include conversations between characters to SHOW what is happening through the characters' eyes
