Captivate Your Readers W3d Language

The Targets W3d: Language 4 I can consistently and effectively use precise words and phrases, telling details, and sensory language in a unique way to convey a vivid picture of the experiences, events, setting, and/or characters. 3 I can consistently and effectively use precise words and phrases, telling details, and sensory language to convey a vivid picture of the experiences, events, setting, and/or characters. 2 I can use precise words and phrases, telling details, and sensory language to convey a vivid picture of the experiences, events, setting, and/or characters but am inconsistent or ineffective. 1 I tell rather than show the experiences, events, setting, and/or characters.

Strong Verbs Bad Good Tell Adverbs Passive (be, have helpers) Show The tiger ate the monkey. The buffalo injured the hunter. Adverbs The lion ferociously ate the gazelle. She walked quickly to class. Passive (be, have helpers) The man was run over by the bus. I had an argument with the referee. Show The tiger devoured the monkey. The buffalo gored the hunter. Concise Verbs The lion gobbled the gazelle. She hustled to class. Active The bus smashed the man. I argued with the referee. I screamed at the referee. I conferenced with the referee.

Strong Verbs A few to try—what are some stronger verbs for each listed? What extra information do those verbs give? Discuss. To walk To run To sleep

Sensory Details Help reader be in the story via sight, smell, taste, touch, and sound Example: caught in a forest fire See: flames lick the tree tops Smell: acrid smoke hits me Taste: it’s as if ash settles in my mouth Touch: heat waves scald my skin Hear: flame roars and branches crack

Sensory Details What would we sense during a fist fight? See Smell Taste Touch Hear

Language Tricks Alliteration: repeating consonant sounds They grappled across the ground, gouging at each other’s eyes. Metaphor: comparing two unlike things Like a tiger to her prey, she ripped claws across the hero’s back. Personification: giving non-human things human characteristics The air itself screamed in protest at the horror of the fight.

Language Tricks How might we use language tricks to describe an argument between father and son? Alliteration Metaphor Personification
