This week our Del Monte Writer\u2019s Club had fun imagining a food fight at school. We formed small groups and each person wrote one part of the story. Our focus was on the \u2018Show Don\u2019t Tell\u2019 technique where writers use descriptive language to paint a picture in the reader’s mind. There were lots of giggles as we shared our stories. Below are some excerpts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
