Week 4, Term 1: Language Experience

This week for our language experience we had to close our eyes and hear Mrs Millet blow a balloon until it finally popped. As a class we spent time together to come up with some great expressions to describe what we saw,  felt, heard and thought during this experience. We would like to share Breanna's writing because she included some great metaphors.

"When Mrs Millet came, she told us to sit on the mat and close our eyes. Then a mean old witch came in and started to stretch something. I did not know what it was so I started to get worried. Then she started to blow it up but it sounded like as if a big bad wolf came in and started huffing and puffing. Then POW!!! I opened my eyes and saw that the balloon had popped into shards. Everybody screamed and I jumped back."

Before we wrote this, we brainstormed on the whiteboard together as a class and came up with cool ideas and expressions that described this experience. We tried to use a metaphor, simile and an onomatopoeia.

Here is our plan for the writing:
