Recount- The Storm

Monday 21st  Our recount is to write about a time we were in a storm.  We want to get the reader's interest,  so we are using onomatopoeia, and adding detail.  We looked at writing with  adjectives, and made lists of "stormy" words.

Last night, the windows were creaking, the doors were slamming.  I flicked the switch.  The light didn’t come on.  I screamed, “the power is off!”  I was frightened.

It was windy outside.  Boom!  Boom!  went the thunder.

Crash!  Boom!  The sky turned blue, then black.  The lights went out, then back on.

The TV was still off.  I closed my eyes, I heard people.  I opened my eyes.  The TV was on again.  I was shivering.

When I went out, I was terrified.  The rain started, and the thunder started, and the hail started.

 “Woosh!”  I screamed because the trees started to crash.

Last Friday the rain came.  It was hard on the roof. 

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!  went the rain.

I was crying.
