Writing

Lately we have been writing narratives. We have been studying what some language features that we can use in our writing are. We have learnt what Hyperboles, metaphors, similes, personification and onomatopoeia are. We have also chosen which emotions we are going to use in our story and put a picture showing it and a colour which usually represents it. We have some excellent writers in Room 11.

Here is an extract from Amos' narrative:

'He hunts me down like a lion but I’m faster. I weave through and around all the streets. Everything is blurry. I’m going so fast. I race round the corner and sit down. I can feel my heart pumping, the whole town probably can, it's beating so hard. I slip a piece of priceless candy into my mouth. I had paid with my life but it was worth it. I dribbled out of my mouth, it tasted better than I thought. A thought paused the deliciousness. I had better be getting back to school, slip back and no one will even notice.'

I'm not sure about you but for me, this makes me want to read more. I would have never guessed at the very start of this extract that it is over a piece of candy. It sounds like a race, but then as you read on, you find out more. In my opinion, it really drags the reader in and makes them want more.

Writing Narratives have been challenging but rewarding at the same time. It's been a heap of fun!
