Show Not Tell Sort

Writing activities are not easy to come by. Here is a great way of teaching Show Not Tell to your students by letting them discuss various examples and compare then to boring statements kids typically write. I used this recently and the kids had lots of fun and could easily incorporate the skill into their own essays. Check it a portion of it here or you can get the entire sort on my TPT site: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Show-Not-Tell-Sort
