Writing Task - Get to the Point (Tuesday W6, T4)

 Writing Task - Get to the Point!

Today you have a different kind of writing challenge. Today you will not be writing AS MUCH

as you can. Today you will be limited by the amount of words you can use in your story.

Here is what you must do.

• Write a story, with a beginning, middle and end.

• Use all of the 5 words you have been given in your story.

• Use descriptive language to SHOW us, not TELL us what happens.

• Keep your story UNDER 100 words!

• MAKE IT INTERESTING! Try to create drama, mystery, or action in your story! 

WORDS I MUST USE
Delicately	To do something very carefully	“I delicately placed the vase on the table”
Explosion	A violent or shattering apart of an object, like a bomb	“A violent explosion shook the room”
Secretive	Someone who keeps secrets, or hiding information	“I had to tell her, I couldn't keep being secretive”
Strengthen	To make something stronger, or to add support.	“We used braces to strengthen the bridge”
System	A set of things that work together to achieve a purpose	“The alarm bell system worked to tell us there was a break-in”

You can use one of these photos for inspiration, or you can be creative and come up with one all on your own!

Begin your writing here: In the beginning where it all started a young girl was stuck in the forest. But one night it all changed. That night she put her bag down delicately and was gone finding food for herself and her grumbling tumbling tummy. Then she hacked the system by finding a bucket full of fruits. Then she got strengthen by God and got excited. That was when it all changed. The great God shook the earth making giant rocks tumble upon her massive explosion. But she was secretive about the big blue bubble on her and making it even worse with tiny rocks on it.
