Day 31, Skylar-4th Grade Student

Writing About Small Moments                                                                                                                  

We have been working on the writing process in our class. We used leads, endings, and we added show and not tell sentences. I used all these strategies to write my personal narrative about a small moment  on  the Log Ride in Six Flags. Enjoy! -Skylar                                                                                               
The Log Ride

The walls of the castle were made of bumpy gray stone. I passed my hand along them as our footsteps echoed through the empty hallways. We walked up and down the hallways. It seemed as though they didn’t end. But soon, we saw a doorway to the open.  

As soon as we saw the logs, our eyes lit up. We sprinted towards them and hopped in. We jumped up and down in our seats. “Let’s do this!” my friend Jocelyn beamed. The log shifted forward. “Woohoo!” We screeched as we fell down the first drop. So far it was the most entertainment we had all day! There were drops, turns, and a huge dragon squirted us. But we had no clue about the greatest, most colossal drop.
                 
It was forty feet tall. We climbed up in our log. “Good luck,” giggled the employee at the top. He pulled a lever and we zoomed to the bottom! Water sprayed in our faces as it soaked us. When we got back to the start, there was a huge line! We got the ride back in business. We got out and as we opened the door to exit, I passed my hand along the bumpy gray stone once more.
