Tonight, you are going to write 5 sentences explaining what you visualized during a scene in your story. Your sentences should use "Sparkling words", but do not simply list adjectives. Use words that give your peers an idea of what you are seeing as you read.
Here is an example of what I expect:
Title: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Author: Mark Twain
Pages: ___
During the scene in which Huckleberry Finn and Jim are floating down the Mississippi River, I visualized a muddy and wide river. The river is so wide that the trees lining the river look small and far away. Also, the river is so thick with muddy water, that Huck cannot see his feet when standing in the shallow areas of the river. Though the river is not exactly beautiful, I visualized the overall scene to be tranquil because it's in the middle of the summer. Though it's quite warm outside, I am sure the greenery of the leaves on the tress, and the sounds of the wind blowing through the leaves makes floating down the big Mississippi peaceful...until the water picks up speed or a steam boat comes floating by!
Get to work, Pioneers:)

I am reading wolf brother and in this scene that I am going to about is when I visualize the boy and his dad going on a camp out in beautiful woods and they are shocked to see a big brown bear come destroying some of the woods. I can just imagine the boys dad having his chest ripped open by the bear and his arm all torn up. imagine when the boy gets flung into a tree by the bear. I can put myself in his shoes because I can imagine my dad and i going camping and being interrupted by a bear and all those things happening ~ ronald
ReplyDeleteI am reading The Neptune project and I visualize Nere and her friends in the ocean on a boat trying to find Jac and his friends which are drouding because there boat broke. I can also visualize Nere getting and talking to the dolphins to help them find Jac and his crew. I can also imagine the marine guards making sure nobody is in the ocean because it is closed and at night. One more thing I can see is Nere going back home and her mom getting mad at her because she did not fallow the rules about the ocean.

During the scene in which Meg and Aiden are thrown off the 4 wheeler and tool down the rocky cliff, I visualized a extremely steep, rocky cliff. The cliff is so steep and deep that if yo are at the bottom you can barely see the top. Also, the cliff is so filled with sharp rocks, that both Meg and Aiden, once they are out, are so scratched up that a random man offers to take them to a hospital. Though the cliff is not exactly beautiful because of the sharp rocks, I visualize

Title: Mighty Mount Kilimanjaro
ReplyDeleteAuthor: Geronimo Stilton
pages:1-28
When I was reading the scene when Bruce [Geronimo's friend] busted inside Geronimo's house and ordered Geronimo to climb 19,340 feet tall mountain called Mount Kilimanjaro, I visualized Geronimo relaxing on his nice soft recliner. Also he was drinking a cup of chocolatey hot cocoa and eating a delicious creamy cheese cake. He was also reading mysterious book. All of a sudden, Bruce busted inside Geronimo's house and ran toward Geronimo as fast as his legs could go. Then Bruce forcibly pulled Geronimo off his recliner knocking his hot cocoa and cheese cake on the ground. This made a very loud bang while splattering both the hot cocoa and the cheese cake on the clean beige carpet and walls.

During the scene where Katie is about to swing a bat at the softball and she gets scared when the ball gets close,I visualize myself using the bat as protection from the ball,and running away. Also,I visualize the softball going swiftly through the air and when it comes down I don't know what to do and panic.The people who are waiting to try out for the softball team behind me are holding in their laughs at me, and I feel melancholy. When Katie makes the team,I visualize that Katie is so surprised,but she's nervous because she has to go to softball practice every week. It's the first day of softball practice and Katy's all drenched in sweat,I visualize that it's hot outside and Katie feels like she's dying but she takes a nice warm shower.
Title:The Giant Diamond Robbery
ReplyDeleteAuthor:Geronimo Stilton
Pages:1-58
As l was reading the scene when a steamroller crashed through Geronimo's house, l visualized a gigantic yellow steamroller tearing down a whole wall and front door. I also visualized a loud crashing noise while the steamroller crushed and destroyed all of his expensive possessions. While this was happening, Geronimo quickly jumped up out of his pawchair and started screaming in desperation. He was screaming as loud as he could so the destructive driver could hear him over the racket. Then he started sobbing because all of his things were being slowly smashed and destroyed.

Today I read Mudshark by Gary Paulsen. I visualize the scene when the librarian was talking about how the library was getting a new chalk board that is electric. The chapter made me visualize the active board in all of our classes because it pretty much is a chalk board that is electric. I also visualize Mudshark's friends not only asking the bird questions like the other kids did because the way they are working together on their plan means they stick together and definitely do not ditch each other for a bird~ANJELICA
ReplyDeleteToday I read Platypus Police Squad The Frog Who Croaked. Today I visualized the detectives ( O'Malley and Zengo ) driving around in a very fancy car with a siren, a super computer, and a radio that only plays the platypus police squad radio. I also visualized their car going so slow in traffic, like 5 miles an hour. When they got to the docks Zengo Noticed a really bad smell, the bad smell made him gag for a solid minute. Later on they found a bag full of a synthetic variety of fish. They also found a wallet with no money and a jacket with elbow patches. Then they went to see if any people at the docks knew about the bag of fish, the wallet, and the jacket.

In the book Donner Dinner Party by Nathan Hale, the people are traveling on a wagon/cattle drive through the country to get From Florida to California. The trail was rocky, and they could not ride in the wagons. The food and supplies were in the wagons. It would probably smell dirty because they are outside in 1846. No showers! It was dusty with so many people. There were 90 peoples who started out on the trip. Everyone was very very hungry, and I envision growling stomachs while they ate carpet and other disgusting things. It was freezing, and everyone was very cold. This is a sad story of pioneers, but 49 of the people made it all the way to California where they would see sunshine, food, and shelter.

ReplyDeleteI am reading the Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan. I visualized a dramatic scene when Jason, one of the characters heard an explosion and he looked up and saw ghouls. Then, he joins in. It's all good until one ghoul explains that Hera and other gods are not able to pass the river beyond Mount Olympus. I picture myself as Jason right when he grabs the nearest knife and stab it into the table which causes all the ghouls to jump. Then,Jason's goddess mom appears and melts all of the lead in Jason's stomach.

I read Pickle Juice on a Cookie last night. I visualized Eleanor sitting with her babysitter in a big room. I imagine her babysitter having dark brown hair that is thick and in a ponytail. Eleanor and her sitter are sitting in the kitchen. I imagine the kitchen being all white with no clutter - not even a pencil! Then Eleanor rushes out of the room for her hairbrush. She is using a blue hairbrush with yellow polka dots and a thin hair ribbon tied around it.
