Day: October 31, 2023

One day a boy named Jerald was walking down the road. He had found some dirty shoes filled with dirty water. He picked up the shoe and poured the water out of the shoe. Then he decided to take it home. He asked if his dad could clean the shoes and he said yes. After that day he went to school and he said to his friends. I am getting new beautiful shoes. His friends didn’t believe it was beautiful. Those shoes aren’t going to be beautiful, his friends said. Once his dad finished cleaning the shoes. Jerald came and was really happy when his dad finished cleaning the shoe. After that day the Jerald was excited to show his friends his new shoes. When Jerald came to school, everyone was surprised and shocked about his shoes. Some people were jealous because Jerald is shoes was amazing and magnificent. Jerald had people to be his friends and they all would always look at his shoes and sit next to him. Jerald had the best day ever and was very happy to have his shoes.

 LI: To use the 5 senses and personification to help us paint a picture with words. To understand that personification is to give an inanimate object human qualities

• Our challenge was to co construct a text using personification and the senses to describe the story behind the shoes in this image. We sat back to back and weren’t able to talk… Half way through Mrs Anderson challenged us to include a rhetorical question and a simile or metaphor…
• Once we had completed this part of the challenge we joined together with another group to share our writing and make sure what we had written made sense. 
• After that part of the challenge was finished we used the punctuation points game to… We marked eachother’s punctuation against the points table. We then had a chance to check our own work against the points table. That was fun because every point our partners missed menat we could take a point off theirs.
• I found this activity … because …

I was walking through the forest as I came across a small cabin. Little did I know the cabin had a lot of secrets to hide… The door groaned open slowly giving me an uneasy sensation. I walked down the stairs and I caught my auditory senses snapping at my ears as I heard a peculiar sound. That very sound was so loud it sent shivers down my spine. “WHAT IS THAT HORRIBLE SMELL?” UGH!! I said, I could smell mold coming from the stairs as if someone or something had been here before. I quickly noticed the walls were closing in on me. I struggled to make my way through the walls as they were closing in faster and faster, my claustrophobia got the better of me,  but luckily I made it. As I got closer to the sound it got louder and louder. I caught a glimpse of a shadow and red eyes glaring down at me as if it was prying at my soul. I turned around but the walls blocked all of my possible ways to escape. I looked back around again and the shadow was gone. I continued to make my way through the abandoned basement, I ran rapidly down the stairs. The figure screeched at me with a deafening tone. My ears struggled to maintain balance throughout the screech.

• Our challenge was to co construct a text using the olfactory, auditory, gustatorial, visual and kinethetic senses to describe the story behind the shoes in this image. This time we were able to speak and sat facing our partners. 
• Once we had completed this part of the challenge we joined together with another group to share our writing and make sure what we had written made sense and had met the language feature challenge.
• I found this activity great because of how we worked together
