Writing Abandoned Places



The Abandoned City We were out training. My group specialises in killing aliens. We have a coach who trains us. We thought it was all going well but then... “Run/kua pau,” said the head coach because the aliens are chasing us and firing bullets. I turned around and saw my head coach lying on the ground dead! Finally after running for ages there was somewhere I could peep around so they couldn't find me. As I rushed around the corner and the aliens just ran past me. Once they were gone I turned around and went the other way to where the aliens were going. Finally there was an exit coming up so I ran out of it. Next there was a statue that looked a little off, suddenly it started to chase me along the corridor. It looked like the corridor would go on forever. I ran for about an hour and I was getting a little tired. I ran out an exit and ran through the bushes and lost him. I saw a palace that looked about a thousand years old. I went in and it had moss all over the walls and vines hanging down from the roof. I concentrated too much at looking at the walls and I tripped over one of the vines that were on the ground and I was bleeding a lot and one of my teeth fell out of my mouth. I heard running coming from a distance. I started running and they just missed me because they were blood aliens. How am going to get out of this I said to myself....




We will be successful if we….
- Use language features to make our writing better and more interesting.
-Use our senses to help the reader imagine this place.
-Have some Te Reo Māori words.
-use descriptive language that has impact for our reader.

    I loved that you were able to use on of these images to come up with an exciting piece of writing. It is great how it is action packed and filled with suspense.

    The main thing I needed to work with you on was adding a bit more detail so that it made sense for the reader. This is something for you to keep working on.

    It was good to see some descriptive writing like, “I saw a palace that looked about a thousand years old. I went in and it had moss all over the walls and vines hanging down from the roof.”

    Well done.
