Year 2

This Show Don’t Tell resource helps children improve their descriptive writing by showing a character’s feelings through actions and expressions rather than simply naming the emotion. The PowerPoint introduces the idea with clear examples while the differentiated task sheets provide practice at different levels, from identifying emotions in pictures to writing full show-not-tell sentences. Together, the resources give teachers a complete lesson to build pupils’ confidence and skill in writing more engaging, expressive sentences.
