My T4 Session 1 blog post
Motivation: | Paragraph: |
Day 1: The Forbidden Tower Time was running out! They only had a matter of minutes. | One night there was an eagle with huge pitch black wings and a colossal body. The eagle was flying high into the night sky. In the night sky there was a moon. It was as bright as an owl eye and as white as clouds in the sky. The sky was like a galaxie color and bright like the moon. So the eagle went off in the night sky high and high and high. The eagle kept flapping its wings to find the key and the little crow. So the bird flew as high as he could to find the crow. The eagle spent days and nights finding the key and the crow. But he still didn’t find it. But it didn’t give up. It flapped its wings hard and flew to the sky so high. So the eagle would find the crow and their golden/ silver key. |
Day 2: The Golden Key She had been chasing it all day. Now, the crow had it. | Here is the little crow. The crow has a dead grey color; it looks as tiny as 10 feathers and as small as a Titipounamu. and it is perching on a clock. The crow found the key. The key was golden and shiny. Then the crow had an idea. He would find the place to unlock the key. So he flew off to find the place to unlock the key. But it knew that the eagle and a human were finding the key. so it stayed in the bottom of a hole with lots of leaves so the key wouldn’t be seen. It had to stand on the clock so it would be easy for the key to not be found. And when predators or humans are coming and they're looking for the key the crow would drop it in the leaves and when they are gone the crow would just dig and dig to find the golden/silver key so that’s how the crow still has the key. |
Day 3: The Edge of the World He embarked on a journey across the ocean. | Then there was a man who was walking with an orange jacket and a bag in the middle of the ocean finding the key that the crow took. The man was walking and walking and walking some more but he didn't have the key that would open a door. He walked, he ran , he even sprinted to but obviously the key wouldn't come to you. The man had been walking for an hour to find the key but there was no luck yet. So he tried to go back to the place that he had been but there was one problem. He had lost his way. The man spent days finding the key too but there was no luck yet. The man spent days and days and 3 nights to find the golden/silver key. But the man wouldn’t give up. He would find the key and unlock the place. So he went on a journey to find that key and unlock the secret place. |

Richie's Scrambled writing frame
Write 6 sentences that detail who the story is about, where the story is set, what problem/conflict happens in the story, how they handle the problem, how the problem is solved and how the characters change.
Sentence 1 (character/scene) | One night there was a girl running to the subway because the train was almost gonna leave. |
Sentence 2 (character/scene) | Then she ran so fast but failed to catch the train in the subway. |
Sentence 3 (Conflict) | So she had to sit and wait for the bus to come back so she sat on the bench alone. |
Sentence 4 (Conflict) | Then there was a rubix cube all scrambled up And then the girl decided to play with it. |
Sentence 5 (resolution) | The girl tried so hard but the rubix cube scrambled up again and then the girl gave up. So then the rubix cube showed the girl how to do it and the girl was trying to figure it out in her head. |
Sentence 6 (how characters have changed) | And then she finally figured it out but then the rubix cube stopped moving then the girl left the rubix cube there for someone else to deal with. |
Now write a 100 word story that includes all the details above |
One night there was a teenage girl running to the subway so she wouldn’t miss the train. Until she missed the train and she stomped her foot. And then she sat on the bench playing her game waiting for the train to come back. So then there was a rubix cube coming to the teenage girl playing her game. So it patted her elbow then she saw it and started to play with it. But then she scrambled it up again and started to give up and went back on her phone. The rubix cube felt sad and then started to pat her head phone. The teenager was surprised to see that the rubix cube was moving and the rubix cube went on her lap. Then the girl didn’t give up and started to play with the rubix cube again. And then the girl was trying to figure out how to solve it in her head. So then the girl completed the rubix cube but the rubix cube isn't moving anymore. And then the train came and she went in the train without the rubix cube. So on the train left and the rubix cube on the subway. So then there was another person running to the train but didn’t make it. And then the rubix cube came alive again and scrambled himself up again for the man to solve. The End. 📕 |

Richie's legend of Wairaka
Here is what I wrote it's about Wairaka and her people on a waka and then a big storm came with big tear drops and then Wairaka did something she should not have done but Wairaka saved everyone. Do you know about Wairaka? Bye
Legend of Wairaka Retell
Once there was a lady called Wairaka. she was gonna ride a boat with her people. Wairaka went in the boat with her people. The boat is called a waka. All the people went in the boat and went over the sea.
Suddenly a big storm came with big waves and lightning flashing down. All the grown ups were screaming and all the children were crying. The lightning was flashing down to the people in the boat they were crying shouting and panicking
But then Wairaka did something she shouldn't have done. She picked up an oar and shouted out kia whakatane au i ahau. That means let me act like a man. So she picked up the oar and started paddling and her people did it with her.
And then Wairaka and her people started paddling to the shore. The rain was still going but that didn’t stop Wairaka and her people from paddling. They were still paddling and paddling and paddling some more. until they made it to the shore.
And then they made it to the shore. They were on a beautiful island and they decided to live there for almost 1000 years. And if you see a lady standing on a rock. That lady is Wairaka. She was watching people, watching people play and having fun.
Problem:
The man left the waka looking for stuff and also led the women and the children behind on the waka. The men were on the island looking for some stuff on the island. The womens and the children didn’t know what to do. Then a big storm came out of nowhere and started flashing down to the waka. The women were screaming and the children were crying. The waves were crashing in the waka.
The Big Storm The clouds were flashing down into the waka. The waves were
bursting out of the water like a volcano. The clouds were as black as the night sky. The clouds were so dark that nobody could even see the water. The sky was as black as the night sky.

My favorite writing
There is a old scary house that no one has been to. The house has red windows and doors inside it. The skin in the house is a dirty brown color. It has two scary rooftops. The background has lots of crooked trees and bats flying over it.
