Narrative Hook Introduction

Hook Introduction

The dismay in his eyes was the most hurtful thing I’ve had to deal with.
His cute blonde locks rippled in the wind that was blowing through the open window next to our booth.
“Please don’t get off this train, Emma. It’s not safe.” He whispered softly into my ear. I had to adjust my hearing aid to actually hear him. “Can you say that again?” I asked, not realizing that he’d said something important. “...Never mind…” He drooped his head. A sudden squeal of rust and metal rubbing together
indicated that it was time to get off. A stray tear rolled down my face, followed by an army of more. He grabbed my green blouse and pulled me in for a hug.“Goodbye, my love.” I kissed his ear and grabbed my
duffel from the overhead carrier. He turned away, not able to bare the thought me leaving him.
I felt my body pull itself away from him, and before I knew it, he was out of sight.
Suddenly I was thrown into a crowd of unfamiliar faces, people that too had families to see.
Everyone was moving and I held my ear, as it started ringing from all the noise. Just one more look…
I turned around and tried to take a glimpse at the train, but it was now gone, and so was my love…

In Literacy, we have been learning how to make a good hook to start off a narrative, to pull

in the reader and make them want to continue reading. Have I hooked you in?Comment below if you would want to keep reading! Let m know if you want me to post the rest of the story.

Helpful Word Art

Helpful Word Art

In class, we were told to make some word art, but to use

overused words that may occur many times in our writing.

My words, as you can see, was beautiful, and all around it

there are smaller words that I can use instead of beautiful,

to make my writing sound much more interesting and 

more enjoyable. I hope you can use this

as a learning resource, and can

use these words to make

your use of words

more broad.

Leave a comment and let me any words that YOU might

think I could put into some word art and find lots of 

synonyms that might sound better when put together.

My Pepeha Comic

My Pepeha Comic Strip

For our Te Reo Maori right now, we are starting off the year with pepeha's. 

A pepeha is an introduction of yourself using Te Reo Maori. Here

is mine that I have made using a website that 

you can use to make anything a

comic.

Leave a Comment and show me your pepeha! Have you

ever made one before?
P.S I'm sorry about the blurriness of the image, I will update my post later on
with the pepeha just written out below.

The Amazing 5R's

The Amazing 5R's

Hello everybody! Merry Christmas and a Happy new year! 

I'm starting the year off with my 5R's slide, showing what they should look like, e.g, 

Resourcefulness, Reflectiveness, Respect, Reciprocity and Resilience.

At Marshland School we try to show as many of the 5R's as possible in 

our normal school day. In our presentation, it explains how you can show

the 5R's, and what they mean. I hope you enjoy the slideshow, and make

sure to leave a comment letting me know what you thought of it, and in what 

ways I could improve. How can YOU show the 5R's?
