5-7-10 Writing

Learning Intention: To write creativly using 5-7-10

Today for writing, we were learning about 5-7-10. It is a process you can use, to write a story. The 5-7-10, stands for 5 minutes, 7 minutes, and 10 minutes. What does that mean? The 5 minutes, is how much time to write as much as you can. The 7 minutes, is how much time you have to talk to your partner about your writing. The 10 minutes is how much time to continute your writing after talking to each other. First during the 5 minutes, I wrote about the storm starting, and them being worried, Then I walked about my story during the 7 minute part. Then I finished off with a good ending and the rest. This was fun and exciting because I like reading my own writing.

Lightning never strikes twice, does it? 

That was the question that occupied their frightened minds as they crouched, huddling together, next the pile of dusty sacks in the base of the windmill. The storm finally unleashes its power, forcing the kids to move closer into the dark. Leaning against the wall as rain rapidly pours down. They haven't been this worried before, maybe something’s wrong, Jeff thinks this isn’t a good place to stay. Spencer informs Jeff about using this old place for years, but it has never been destroyed. The terrified kids now wonder what will happen next. As the storm silently calms down, the lightning strikes, which causes the roaring thunder to rise. All that was heard was booming thunder, like it was attempting to overpower an erupting volcano. Jeff was completely frozen, like he was preserved for dinner inside a freezer. Spence was too troubled to be scared, this catastrophic event was making him believe this spot was a bad one. The lightning strikes again, and now Spencer is confused. Lightning strikes twice? Eventually after a poor day, the loud, annoying trouble stops. Spencer creeps towards the opening, investigating the area from inside, making sure there was no more superstorm.
