Dear educators and authors, a few months ago, I created my YouTube Playlist and blog/newsletter called – Big Feelings, Tiny Tales. It was all about writing craft plus Social Emotional Learning. Due to a lack of time and based on my strength as a professional children’s book author, I decided to focus on writing tips for little ones. And my videos will be shorter too.
So far, I have included the following topics:
Getting Inspired
Story Elements
My Writing Process
Descriptive Language
Hooking Your Readers
Adding Humor
And today, I’m talking about – Show, Don’t Tell.
Next week… Adding Suspense.
Video, presentation, and activity kits – Free – are included. – Check below.
YouTube Video – check my playlist Writing Craft.
Activity kit coming soon.
Make sure to show your characters’ feelings through actions and reactions. When writing, think about what they would be doing if they were in a movie or cartoon.
I hope my slides and videos will be useful to beginner authors and to educators to teach your little ones to write like professionals.
