EXTREME SENTENCE MAKEOVER! 1. Take a simple, sentence. I saw a woman at the station. 2. Split it into its parts. I saw a woman at the station. 3. Now think about more descriptive ways you could write each part. Can you add an adjective to a noun, or an adverb to an adjective or verb? Can you add some more information, with another little part added in at the start, end, or in the middle of the sentence? Does it sound better now, with the parts in a different order? At our lovely little station, which had been suddenly covered in a dark green blanket of wounded men, my eyes were drawn to a busy young woman. I saw: a woman: at the: station: my eyes were drawn to a busy young woman At our lovely little station, which had been suddenly covered in a dark green blanket of wounded men Now you try an Extreme Sentence Makeover on these sentences. 1. 2. 3. The room was small. (Maybe from Midge’s perspective) The cocoa was warm. (Maybe from a wounded soldier’s perspective) The train was loud. (Maybe from Midge’s perspective) You must show your full process. For each completed sentence, make a list of: nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. EXTREME SENTENCE MAKEOVER! 1.
