Apocalypse Short Film- Setting Descriptions

WALT: Use detail in our writing to describe a setting.

Apocalypse

Cold, windswept and lifeless. The old city lay in a thick layer of dust, so lonely you could even feel its sadness. No air in that barren landscape. Nobody there. The tired dead trees creaked in their forever sleep. Fear had just spread itself across the land, the buildings, the school playground. No hope, just a grey, sandy canvas.

Apocalypse 2

A musty smell hung in the air. The whole place was a very light, sad green colour. A colour mourning of the bright life it had once lived. White fragments of a teacup lay dissipated on the floor. An old four poster bed sat moaning and groaning of age. Next to it were the remnants of a torn, tatty sleeping bag. That was the only evidence that two inhabitants had once lived there.

Portrait Poem

Cyclone Yassy

My sister the cyclone………...

She streaks through the house

a path of debris wherever she goes.

When she walks past

she leaves a breeze that ruffles the paper she has just drawn on.

I fly into the beanbag when she shoves past me

a whirlwind of fists and feet.

She is too big for our house.

Tearing the pillows up,

hurling the cat around.

Whenever anyone comes to our house

it’s really hard to clean up because she keeps destroying things.

We are scared for surprise visitors because

they might get shocked and run away.

It does not matter what time, which place;

my sister is always messy like a cyclone.

This is my portrait poem. I had to include at least one simile and a metaphor.

Term One 2016 goals

Room 4 did a tagul on our goals this term. We had to keep, stop and start something. My goal that I am most working on at the moment is keeping my homework up to a very high standard. So far I am succeeding.
