Show Don´t tell Camp MERC Recount


We are learning to use the show don´t tell way of writing.  Show don´t tell is where you make your audience do some thinking by not saying a feeling but saying something that the feeling causes.
For example: Instead of ¨I´m scared¨ it is ¨My legs where wobbling.¨
I have Highlighted parts where this way of writing has been used.  This way of writing was quite difficult.
We wrote about an activity at camp - I chose Slingshot.
I enjoyed writing this recount.  If I ever do something like this again, I would like to add in more show don´t tell parts - I 
don´t think I did very many.
