The children's blissful cheers of bravery bounce through the air; enlightening the joyful vibe. The atmospheres splendour shade of azure illuminates an emerald green lake. As though a narcoleptic charm was tipped into the aqua, it sits as motionless as a sleeping lion. A thalassic ravine cuts deep into the earth below the water. Eagerly, the courageous children dive deep into its abyss bracing for a harsh impact with an icy temperature.
A clipping breeze ruffles the many limbs from the surrounding trees. Although they are tall, they aren't as towering as a giraffe. A choir of singing birds attempt many notes as though they are practising the chromatic scale.

Student Reflection:
In my writing, one of my goals is to Organise paragraphs and writing logically and make meaning clear by subheadings, topic sentences and discourse markers.
I did show this goal here because I used an example of a discourse marker describing a noun.
In my writing, one of my goals is to know and write a wide variety of text types and forms.
I did show this goal here because I was able to focus on producing a description and link my editing process with the text type.
My next step is to use a range of editing and proofreading strategies.
Teacher Comment:
Ayla, yet again I am drawn into your writing. The way you purposely select vocab to add impact to your writing is amazing and supports creating an image in the readers mind (my mind). As a next step, you could add some short or one word sentences for impact where appropriate to keep that impact going.- Mrs Hunter |
