Pick one of the following "telling" sentences (or make up your own) and write a descriptive scene that shows instead of tells. Remember to include sensory details (as specific as possible—try for all five senses if you can!), action, and possibly dialogue. If you are truly showing, the sentence you pick below should not appear at all in your scene, but readers should know immediately which sentence you chose! The kid was a brat.
Nothing I did went right.
He was always there for me.
She was so weird.
He's always showing off.
He loves to swim.
Your scene should be one to two paragraphs long. You will be evaluated on your use of specific nouns, active verbs, and on how well you show your scene. When you are done, submit your assignment for grading. (dont worry this is just copy and pasted from the assignment :))

The child's incessant crying and destructive temper tantrums had everyone irrate and not wanting to be around him any longer.

The day started in complete harmony; like a time step, but by noon, each new hour passed as if feeding disaster into the next like a domino effect.

I missed everything about him now down to his monotone voice and looks of contempt; telling me "I told you so!"

When the door opened everyone turned and stared in disbelief at her awkward gait, wirey gray hair, and chosen outfit; each article either one or two sizes too big or too small.

Par for the course, he always has to be wearing something flashy or talking so loudly that all attention is directed at his flamboyant entrance into the room.

Even when the lifeguard blows his whistle for everyone to take a break, Jim is always the last one out if the pool and usually has to be told "Get out!".

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
