Room 2 - Writing

Room 2 students have been learning to ‘show not tell’ for writing which means they are describing something without actually saying what it is. This type of writing allows the listener or the reader to create a picture in their mind. It's a fabulous genre to use language features such as adjectives (describing words) or similes in, to enrich writing.

Below are some wonderfully descriptive pieces of writing showing an emotion.

​Can you work out what emotion the children are showing?

Remember the time…
My feet were stomping, my fists were punching, my face was as red as a West Gore school T-shirt and my eyes were crunched up like a piece of paper.

I was screaming, my face was screwed up, my feet were stomping, my heart was racing, I was screaming and I was stressed.

Remember the time…
My fists were scrunched up like a ball, my feet were stomping and I got more angry than a gorilla.

Remember the time..
My feet were kicking the wooden pillars outside the classroom, my hands were over my face, my fists were scrunched up like an asteroid and my head was going round like a tether.

Remember the time…
My head felt like a circus, my heart was pounding like fast Sonic, my fists were curled like a snail and I stomped my feet on my way to my room.
