Blog Writing for Term 2 Week 9.

WALT: use language features in our writing.

Step 1: Watch A Cloudy Lesson below.


Step 2:

On your blog, you can choose from the below choices. Make sure you are using language features in both though:

Similes - use like or as to compare to something else
Onomatopoeia - Sounds such as BOOM!
Alliteration - same letter sounds starting words in a row - She sells sea shells.
Metaphors - some of you will know what these are.
Personification - describe something that isn't human as if it is human- The rain jumps down the hill.

1. Describe what happens in the video. Tell it like a story.

2. Choose your own 'story' like a Cloudy Lesson about something else(such as why does it rain? How are waves formed? Why are flowers shaped the way they are?). You are allowed to make up why! Tell a story, don't be scientific but BE CREATIVE.

Option 1: Write a prequel to this story. How did the girl get there? Did a witch curse her? Was she tricked by an evil prince? YOU DECIDE. Please write this as a story.

Option 2: Write about how this girl gets rescued? How will the clock work without her? Who will save her? YOU DECIDE. Please write this as a story.
