Show Don't Tell - Literacy Work

Show Don’t Tell

It was terrifying. The loud gunshots blew my mind as many bodies suffered to the ground, crimson red blood gushing from their wounds.

I myself was impaired. There were alot of gun wounds around my hips. This wasn’t what I signed up for at all. A loud crash echoes through my suffering ears, another person shot.

Guilt raided through my body, I felt sorry for these people. I remember a soldier telling me last night about his kid who sent him about more than 100 letters saying he missed him. My eyes dissolve into tears, I weeped but the only thing heard were gunshots, they muted my disfigured cries for help.

That’s when my cries had been done for. My ears rang. My breath hitched. Was this the end? My body lay there lifeless. The only last thing I had saw was a poppy. It was very appealing. As I took my last breath, I mumbled “ Lest we forget. “


Task Description: In this writing task, we had been learning to show not tell. Show not tell is another way of saying having more detail. We had to put more detail into a message, letter, or something involved with the war. Here is my story.

What is a information report?

Today, we had learnt what is so important about information reports. We had to use our information and put them onto cards.

The cards represent information we know about information reports. Then after we structured them together, putting relatable contents together.

A information report is a article that shares infomation about a certain topic or story (Particularly from the news. )

Sometimes a information report is boring. This informs for you to find something your interested in. ( Eg. Animals, Pop-Stars, News Updates )

Peach Scents ; Romance Genre (On-going)

Intro; Leaving Paradise

“ You’re leaving me? “ Taehyung cries in pain as his love stands there iritatted.

“ Just go! We can’t do this anymore Tae! We keep hurting each other! “ Faith roars in anger as Tae just stands there, unable to hold his tears back.

“ But it was our anniversary… “ Tae mumbles as Faith leaves.

They never spoke to each other since then. Both lovers numbers blocked. Both text messages deleted. Never again to be spoken to.

Chapter 1: Painful Strawberry Scent

Years had past, Taehyung had moved back to his hometown Daegu and had sworn he’d never find love again. He walks past the closed shops, the sunlight shining on his milky skin. “ What a lovely morn- “ Tae gets pushed over, knees getting scraped on the curb. A petite lady hovers over him, head tilted. The lady slowly kneels down, “ Taehyung? “ Tae opens his eyes, pain still stinging in his knees. His breath hitches as he slowly gasps 

“ F-Faith? Why are you here? “ He gets up, dusting himself off. Another figure stands next to Faith, “ Hey! Who are you? Stop talking to my girlfriend creep! “ the figure brushes past Taehyung, dragging Faith with him. ‘ She still smells like Strawberry’s… ‘




Had this been what he was waiting for? He needed to move on. It had been far to long since he last smiled. What was the lord punishing him for?
