Pick one of the following "telling" sentences (or make up your own) and write a descriptive scene that shows instead of tells. Remember to include sensory details (as specific as possible—try for all five senses if you can!), action, and possibly dialogue. If you are truly showing, the sentence you pick below should not appear at all in your scene, but readers should know immediately which sentence you chose! 1. The kid was a brat.

2. Nothing I did went right.

3. He was always there for me.

4. She was so weird.

5. He's always showing off.

6. He loves to swim.

Your scene should be one to two paragraphs long. You will be evaluated on your use of specific nouns, active verbs, and on how well you show your scene. When you are done, submit your assignment for grading.
