This document discusses the "Show Not Tell" writing technique that Room 10's students have been learning, where writers show readers feelings through descriptive details rather than just stating them. It provides the example of showing nervousness through physical reactions rather than just saying "I was nervous". The document also notes that several students, Oscar, Josh, Isla, Jack, and Cooper, provided good examples of showing anger in writing using this technique. It encourages readers to try using this "Show Not Tell" method in their own writing.
