Writing Task - Get to the Point!

Today you have a different kind of writing challenge. Today you will not be writing AS MUCH as you can. Today you will be limited by the amount of words you can use in your story.

Here is what you must do.

• Write a story, with a beginning, middle and end.

• Use all of the 5 words you have been given in your story.

• Use descriptive language to SHOW us, not TELL us what happens.

• Keep your story UNDER 100 words!

• MAKE IT INTERESTING! Try to create drama, mystery, or action in your story!

Delicately	To do something very carefully	“I delicately placed the vase on the table”
Explosion	A violent or shattering apart of an object, like a bomb	“A violent explosion shook the room”
Secretive	Someone who keeps secrets, or hiding information	“I had to tell her, I couldn't keep being secretive”

You can use one of these photos for inspiration, or you can be creative and come up with one all on your own!

Beginning: On Sunday morning my alarm clock system was beeping. I woke up and had breakfast. I ate cereal with almond milk. I went outside for a run and found  a big secretive person that  was trying to break into the house. I caught him and called the police. The police was on the way to me house.   Middle: I went back to running and heard a big explosion and our neighbor's house got on FIRE!. We quickly called the ambulance and firetruck. Me and my dad went inside the house to check if our neighbor’s are safe enough in the FIRE!  Me and my family were so strengthen  and supportive to our neighbors.   End: The next day my dad bought a vase to put flowers in. my dad told my to delicately put the vase down and i tried my hardest to put the vase on the table.  THE END!!
