Matching techniques 2,1,5,3,9,6,7,4,8 An unusual setting Jonathan and Michael were walking along a lonely beach. Suddenly they heard a giant wave crash on the beach and the erie sound of a boat settling on the shore. Then far into the distance they saw the most spooky old boat they had ever seen. The sides of the boat had seaweed and barnicles on it. Nathan had writers block so Bethany took over. Here is her story. Bethany and James barried their toes deeper into the sand on the sun-soaked beach. Sighing deeply Bethany sipped her lemonade, while James adjusted his sunglasses. Both were clad in bathing suits, anxious to plunge into the frothy ocean waves. The beach was empty except for the two lover's and their matching beach towels. Or so they thought. As James was cleaning some lint off his cheap wal-mart glasses he looked lazily across the horizon. His eyes almost missed the lifeboat floating about 50 yards from the shore. The tide must have brought it here from the nearby marina. James poked Bethany. "Hey, look at that!" James gestured to the lifeboad and rose, dusting the sand off his swim trunks. The two jogged toward the boat, curriousity getting the best of them. Neither one was prepared for the sight their eyes were about to behold. |

This story takes place in a big forest with animals of small interests. Like Bob the duck. He is a sloppy duck and his one interest is making his house look just right. Which means a pile of clothes heaped on the floor. Dishes still in the sink. Books in a stack. ( Not a neat stack) Sterance the Bunnies interest is easy. Carrott, he just can't get enough carrots. He sometimes has a nasty temper that gets him into bad situations. Then there is me, Bertram the Bear. IT's hard to describe yourself but I'll do my best. I'm a stocky bear and my interest is most likely to have peace between all the animals of this forest, and tasty food. I'm sorry to say but Sterance not only loves carrots but he sometimes steals them too. Bob the duck happens to have at least 100 carrots and Sterance doesn't think Bob has enough appreciation for his carrots. Sometimes, just sometimes Sterance steals Bob's carrots. Luckily Bob hasn't noticed that some of his carrots have gone missing...until today.

It rained all week during our camping trip. I could hear every rain drop fall on the tents roof. I was frightened as lightning streaked acrosse the dark cludy sky. Katie saw a scary sea creature at the aquaruim. "Eek!" cried Katie, as the most ferocious shark she had ever seen swam by the side of the tank of the dark and quiet aquarium. I walked into the pitch black cave. I examined each side. Then I saw it. A dazzling red chest with gold trim. I held up my lantern to make sure it was the one I was looking for. It was on the far east side of the small, round, cold room. I lifted the lid to the ancient chest. It creeked as I opened it.... to reveal the gold and silver in the chest. I was so glad to finally have it. I heaved a big sigh. I loaded the ancient chest in the back of my truck. As soon as I get home I will sell it in an auction. |

Dead words: mad, so, but, guy, girl, kid, also, funny Our living room I walk into our green and brown living room and can't help to notice how nice and clean it is. The books are all neatly arranged on the bookshelfs. The wood coffee table is straight over the brown throw rug. There is a vase with ivory flowers sitting on the table surrounded with orange candles. On either side of the coffee table are two ivory, soft leather couches with fluffy brown and green striped pillows.. There are big windows with light shining into the room. There is a large ivory scarf draped over the top of the windows. The black pellet stove has a bright fire blazing in it warming up the room. I sigh at how nice it looks as I walk by. |
