Large group review writing skills:

  • Keep your reader's attention with suspense (lottery for suckers gave a little bit of info. spread out over time).
  • Spice up your writing with figurative language: hyperbole, simile, metaphor, sensory details, and dialogue (spicy chilli smells/tastes = the strongest senses connected to memory).
