Free Write: Jack’s beanstalk

Click, click, click, my horses hooves go on the thick sheet of rocks on the ground. I have found Jack’s beanstalk in the middle of a forest, and I’m ready to climb and explore it. I whip out my two ice claws (ice claws: are sharp metal pointers that are used to penetrate rough terrain.) and sink one right into the root of the beanstalk. It gives a low rumbling noise like it’s complaining. I climb and camp each day until I get to the top so I can see the gold glitter and smile at me. When I finally reach the top of the giant root I scream in glory. But right there and then a giant comes out of nowhere and……ROOOAAAAR!! I fall backwards of the land and fall back down the beanstalk, the giant walks away. Thankfully my ice claw was clipped on the edge of the island. The giants must be alert, why it must be because of jack stealing the king’s gold.

Blog Prompt: Drama

Tanner: Italicised

Michaela: Bold

 

We think drama can help you better understand the feelings and viewpoints of characters because it’s coming to life, also drama can really astonish readers if it is used in the correct way to, and lastly because drama tells us a lot about the characters ways and personalities. Because of these things we can get a better understanding of what is happening and the different things that are going on. Drama can also get the reader’s attention very quickly

 

Making drama come to life helps us because we can actually see what’s going on. Drama can really spice up a decent story. Drama can also really help us to understand the characters thoughts and what they are feeling like, angry, confident, sad, happy, etc. In a book we may tell by the details in the story how they’re feeling, but when it comes to life “that’s when the magic happens”.  As well as their motions/actions they do. In a book we can not physically see what’s happening.

 

Drama can is also very important because in a story drama can really take a hold of the reader and put them into the story itself (Grab the reader’s attention). Who would want to watch a play that is so boring, and/or read one. Grabbing the reader’s attention is very important so that they enjoy it. Without Drama in a story the book/story would never even have anything a story is supposed to have like, happy, sad, exciting, romantic details that would make the reader(s) board.   

 

Because of these reasons we better understand the feelings and viewpoints of characters.By coming to life, drama can effect the readers opinion, it can grab the audience/ readers attention, and lastly it can tell us a lot about certian characters actions and/or feelings.

The third and final thing is that is shows my personality a little bit through different animal adaptions to life. You can build your own wild self at: http://help.edublogs.org/upload-avatar/

 

Magic seeds!

If I could grow anything with magic seeds life would be a dream. Ding Dong! “Package for Mr.Dreamer!” I opened the door to see a mailman standing outside my doorway, but a package was tucked under his skinny arms. That is funny because I don’t remember ordering anything. I take the box into my house and I rip and I tear to find another cardboard box, it has a label on it saying:

 

Warning! Do not try to dissemble, keep out of children’s hands, highly filled with magic!

 

I open it up and find little beans or seeds. I didn’t know what they would grow so I took them to my neighbor. He is a farmer. Farmer John said that he had never seen anything like them before. He said that I should plant them to find out. Should I do it?

Favorite memory interview!

I interviewed Will Fithian’s best memory. He said that his favorite memory was went he went to his first eagles game with his family.So I set up a series of 4 questions to ask him about his wonderful experience at the game. Here’s what they are:

 

The first question I asked him was, what did it smell like in the stadium that you were in? Will answered by saying that it smelled like greasy fried food like, hotdogs, fries, and hamburgers etc. While he was at this experience he also said that he had a wonderful juicy cheese steak. I know, that makes me hungry too.

 

The second question asked him was, what did it sound like in that seats that you were sitting at? Will responded by saying It sounded like screaming and booing fans. But the only time people booed is when the opposing team came onto the field. They also booed when the scored, and the fans were screaming because the eagles scored.

 

The third question was, What did it look like in the stadium from your seats?

Will responded by saying that it looked like a big oval with a rectangular field. The fourth and final question was, Who is your favorite player on the eagles team? Will responded by saying that his favorite player is DeMarco Murray, aka, the running back star of the eagles. That is my final paragraph for the interview of Will Fithian.

Free write: A new version of Monopoly!

If I could make a better more experienced monopoly I would faint of excitement. What would I change? Ah! I would change the characters that you could be in the game. For example instead of being the thimble you could be a golden (plastic) Xbox one controller. For the ship it would be a shark with a mustache and a jiant top hat. There would also be a Xbox and a PS4. You know what? Sure why not, and an unicorn with giant buck teeth. I would also change the game play a little bit. I would add Bluetooth so you could move the pieces with you phone, and so you could play your game with any electronic!! I would also add a self-money sorter. I would do that because people are always complaining about how long it take to set up the trading money in the game.
