Description Writing

Today we were working on increasing the amount of face and body descriptions that reflect a character's emotion.

We used pictures of cartoon characters with different emotions then got 2 minutes to write at least 3 descriptions.

Here are some examples......

Ashamed:

My head hanging down, I stared at my feet. My hand was on the rubbish bin and I could feel vomit in my mouth.

Overwhelmed:

I stood there, fists clenched and arms outstretched with the controller cord in my hand. My teeth were clenched tightly as I mumbled obscene words to myself.

Jealous:

She stood there, tapping her foot and staring at me. Her arms were folded and her face was bright red. "I hate you!" squeezed through her pursed lips.
