This week we have been learning about DASH? paragraphs for adventure stories.

D = describe the setting

A = use action

S = use speech

H = describe how the character is feeling

? = use a cliffhanger or rhetorical question. We wrote collaboratively and used a writing frame for this learning task, then we wrote our own paragraphs today.

As Mia and James tiptoed into the forbidden forest they could see hundreds of leafless, ghost-like trees surrounding a broken-down train station. Suddenly, there was a small click and within seconds a dull light shone out of the smashed glass and onto the muddy ground below. “What was that?” whispered Mia. James quickly spun around and gazed at the train station, his blue eyes wide open. The two stood alone with their hearts beating fast. A look of fear and horror filled their faces. They both stared at each other continuously. 

They wondered, how are they going to get out of this mess?

Kia ora bloggers! This is my character description task. I hope you like it.

As I looked at the creature, I noticed it had had chestnut brown eyes, that reminded me of almonds, tiny nostrils, that I hardly could see, because they were so tiny. As she hovered low over a flower, she stuck out her lengthy, sticky tongue and used it to suck the juicy nectar from the beautiful flower, like a large butterfly. Her little mouth stretched into a wide smile. Gleaming in the powerful sunlight, I noticed her sparkly, fairy wings, as sparkly as the beams of the moon on a pitch black night.

Please leave some positive feedback.
