The document also notes that several students, Oscar, Josh, Isla, Jack, and Cooper, provided good examples of showing anger in writing using this technique. It encourages readers to try using this "Show Not Tell" method in their own writing.

"Show, Don't Tell"Sam Georgi
油
This document discusses the writing technique of "show, don't tell" which means conveying actions, thoughts, senses and feelings to readers rather than simply describing. It provides examples of using dialogue, sensory language, metaphors/similes, and specific details to show instead of tell. While show, don't tell aims to avoid excessive adjectives, it's not possible to always show without telling. The document encourages writers to show as much as possible while still needing to tell at times. It concludes with an activity that challenges rewriting a passage to show more.Show, Don't Tell

Drama is fiction intended to be performed by actors on stage and interpreted by directors. It aims to create tension that engages the audience and tells an intense story in a short period of time. Like fiction, drama tells a story of human change through a protagonist struggling against an antagonist. However, in drama the story is brought to life through actors, props, costumes and dialogue rather than just words on a page. Plays must externalize characters' thoughts, limit settings to what can be portrayed on stage, and use stage directions and dialogue rather than just narration to move the story forward in a focused and intense way over a continuous live performance.Tips for writing dialogue

I stand at the edge of the cliff, my heart pounding in my chest as I stare down at the crashing waves far below. The wind whips around me, tugging at my clothes and threatening to pull me over the edge. As I glance back, I see my friends cheering and motioning for me to jump. I take a deep breath, feeling both terrified and exhilarated. As I leap off the rock into open air, everything seems to move in slow motion. The view of the ocean stretching as far as the eye can see takes my breath away. Then I am falling, the air rushing past me. For a briefFall 1 a 7
