The Scary Storm

Walt: we are learning to use Descriptive vocab
Thunder

There was thunder & lightning last night. I saw the Light
blue lightning flickering on and off  like a light switch. Then the
deafening thunder struck. I was in bed fast asleep then all of a
sudden I heard a loud Bang. At first I thought it was a bad dream.
So I shut my eyes and Started drifting away into my dream.
Again Another loud Bang went. Then I said to myself “ok that
must be lightning”. Then the loudest bang went. I got so scared I
that I hid under my blankets so nothing could get to me.

Question: Did you hear the Lightning/ thunder? Describe how you felt
Reflection: The thunder scared me

One Night Jeff, Thomas and George were watching a horror movie one night before christmas. George needed some water so he left. He got a glass of water and tried to drink but couldn’t swallow. He started to drown but then passed out falling head first into the sink full of water. George drowned. George woke up and turned into a monster that looked like Mike Wazowski. Jeff needed to go toilet. He walked to the toilet while hiding from the monster. He reached the toilet to open the lid and a monster jumped out and gave Jeff a fright and made Jeff scream like a Girl!
