When we exaggerate, we stretch the truth or tell a "tall tale" about ourselves. It's fun to exaggerate in a writing exercise. Here's how:
Write three sentences that describe you. Like:
1. I am strong.
2. I like animals.
3. I am a fast swimmer.
Now exaggerate!
1. I'm so strong, I can lift the sun.
2. I like animals so much, my best friend is a hippopotomus.
3. I'm such a fast swimmer, I can swim from Seattle to Hawaii in two minutes.
Now it's your turn. Go ahead and exaggerate!
