Expanding sentences
Submitted by peak on 11 June, 2008 - 15:54
With small groups, a useful exercise is to write down a simple, basic sentence and ask the students to add as many adverbs and adjectives to make the sentence more "colourful".
For example- "The man entered the room"
becomes " The large, fat and sweating man came very slowly and silently into the dark and silent room"
This transforms a statement of fact into more of an "atmospheric story".
