One windy winter night . . .

We are creating stories based on the concept of Superheros.

Students imagined that they went to bed one stormy Auckland night - we've had a few lately so listening to the wind whistle and the leaves of the trees rustle in Room 15 made this very easy to imagine - and woke up with a super power of their choice. How would their lives change? What would they do?

This is the beginning of Zuhenna's writing. Her language choices are interesting and creative. She paints a picture with her words full of imagery. This is also Zuhenna's first use of Google Docs. All in all, I can't wait to read more. Keep it up, Zuhenna

One windy winter night just as I was sleeping nicely in my cozy bed dreaming about chocolate. I was awoken by a loud bang. As I sat in my bed all frightened, looking at the storm outside my bedroom window, I saw lightning hit every house in Cupcake Street.Just then my bedroom window flew open pushed by a gasp of wind.I got out of bed to close the windows.Just as I was going to close the windows lightning hit me and the storm winds blew threw my long hair.I felt myself lifting in the air.My clothes changed into superhero clothes and I could control all storms . . . .
