DASH? Paragraphs writing 2

Old Owl

As the wise , old owl  perched on the tree, the branches stretched out like witches fingers ready to slowly introduce you to your death. When a little boy hears the hoot of an owl, he is immediately drawn closer, as if he is in a trance. The stars crept behind the clouds, fearing what they might see. ‘’Who are you?’’ the wind seemed to whistle in a nasty tone. ‘’M-my  n-name i-i-is L-liam’’ stuttered Liam nervously. He felt fear and horror deep inside him. Liam wondered, what will happen to me?

This week we have been learning about DASH? paragraphs for adventure stories.

• D = describe the setting

• A = use action
• S = use speech
• H = describe how the character is feeling
• ? = use a cliffhanger or rhetorical question

We wrote collaboratively and used a writing frame for this learning task, then we wrote our own paragraphs today.
