Last week in Writer's Workshop (WW) we learned how to create more interesting sentences.
First, think of the mood you want your sentence to create.
Then, describe your character's body language, pick a strong, precise verb, and finally, describe where the character is.
In the example, instead of just telling our reader "The boy went up the stairs" we can also create a scary mood for our reader by writing, "With a nervous glace up, the timid boy creeped up the dark and shadowy stairs.
Now you try! Can you make your reader feel your excitement in this sentence: "I walked outside with my costume on."
