I'm going to talk about my hotspot work. In hotspot we have been learning to show and not to tell. The difference between tell and show is that tell is like this: I was late so I run to school. And show is like this: The clock said that it was "8:30 am"I put on bag then put the pancake in my mouth and run to school. Anyways we have been making telling sentence into showing sentence.
Like this.
