For one of our new creative writing tasks we have to rewrite examples of things or objects using this Show Don't Tell thing.
What Does "Show Don't Tell" Means?
I think it means painting a picture in someone's mind without telling them the exact object or properties of that object.
You can also paint a picture with detailed words to make the picture in someones mind more detailed and they know what it might exactly look like.
Examples
The Buildings were Tall - The buildings looked like it touched the sky.
Sarah was really upset - Sarah's face didn't show any expression and she refused to talk.
She was so happy to see him - She couldn't hold back her smile and she was saying one thing after another.
The lake was beautiful - The lake's water was sparkling and the bright sunlight reflected off it.
