Showing Sentences

At the moment in room five we have been writing some showing sentences not telling sentences  . What we had to do was pick out one we liked and write about it and I have picked The sea was rough  and we would have to show the meaning of the sentences and not tell it that's why we have done a sentence about it because, The sea was rough is a telling sentence not showing . So here is my showing sentence. Hope you enjoy.


The sea was rough.

The dark gloomy grey waves crashed angrily into the rocks with a big dark black cloud whirling along in the evening sky with a boat crashing along the dark grey waves sinking deeper into the water.

  1. Kia ora Tahlia,
    I really like to read descriptions that 'show, not tell'. I can see that you know about adjectives and adverbs in your writing. Is your next step to learn about similes and how they can add to your description? Thanks for sharing your writing.
