Showing vs. Telling Writing Descriptive Strategy Digital Slides and Activities: Help your students understand the difference between showing vs. telling in their descriptive and narrative writing with this ready-to-use digital introduction bundle. This resource includes everything that you need to support students in improving their ability to write descriptively and with purpose.

This is a Google-compatible activity, and students complete all the work on a device. This works well with distance learning, 1:1 classrooms, remote teaching, Google Classroom, or for online education. Although it works especially well during the first week of school, this activity can be completed at any point in the school year.

Included in This Digital Showing Vs Telling Writing Strategy Resource:

➡️ Showing Vs. Telling Introductory Google Slides Presentation: Use this 30-slide Google Slides presentation to review the difference between showing and telling in your writing with lots of examples and prompts for students. The presentation breaks this writing strategy down so students can see the process in action.

➡️ Showing vs. Telling Student Reference Slide: Share this student reference with students with the most important information from the slideshow to use while they are writing and during the practice activities.

➡️ Showing vs. Telling Digital Mystery Word Activity: Students will identify the difference between showing vs telling examples to reveal a mystery word. An answer key is provided.

➡️ 24 Visual Digital Cards: Use these digital cards to inspire writing and have students show off what they learned about the showing vs. telling writing strategy.

➡️ Sensory Writing Activity: Students must use the showing strategy to describe one of the digital cards. 


What Teachers Are Saying About This Showing Vs Telling Writing Strategy Resource:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This resource is everything and more. I love how the PPT slides break down the instruction into small sizable bits, and the examples it provides are great. At the moment, I have only been able to use this with the students I have been tutoring, but I cannot wait to apply it in the classroom! Thank you for putting out such amazing materials!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a great bundle that contains amazing slides and activities. My students were engaged by both the slides and activities. I will use this for years to come.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is a very useful resource to show pupils how they can improve their writing, lovely ideas and examples to show them how to use improved vocabulary. Loved the exercise choosing showing or telling.
