"Where am I?" I questioned myself. As I looked around, I felt like I was being followed. I had never seen such a strange looking house before. I slowly crept towards the house hoping I wouldn't make a sound. Words rushed through my mind asking me if I should step back or take a risk. So I made a wise decision. Suddenly out of nowhere, the door slammed shut! My whole body started trembling. Every step I took, made me more curious. I had no other choice, so I sprinted inside the mysterious building as it felt more safe than being alone outside trapped in the darkness. The lights kept switching on and off. I only took a short glance around the room. The room was blank...
This is a short recount that Sajiha and I wrote. Our task was to take turns in writing a sentence each about the picture above. This helped us with writing a proper recount which we will be doing in a few weeks. I found this very interesting because I had never done anything like this before and it gave us a good chance to work with people we have never worked with before!
I really enjoyed reading your writing! I am a teacher of a Year 3 class and I was searching for some peer assessments related to writing. Do you do that in your class? And if so, do you find it helpful as a writer? We are learning to do that as I think it will make a huge difference. Keep up the great descriptive writing.... its so interesting to read!
