In this Writing WS (Workshop) we had to make a 300 word short story which induces Show not tell.
Writing Goal: Use “show not tell” when appropriate.
My D.L.O (digital learning object) is here.
The forbidden tower
I woke up to the deafening sound of thunder. It was the middle of the night. I was half asleep when I pecked out the window and saw a shadow soaring through the dark gloomy night. I tried to keep my eyes open, but I had only slept for a couple of hours. I slowly walked to my bed and flopped on top of it. Hours later, The bright sunlight shone on my face. I slowly opened my eyes. I saw a crow sitting outside the window, waiting there as if it was watching me through the whole night. I tried to hide under the covers. I pinched myself to see if I was still dreaming but I wasn't. I swung my legs out of bed and stood up. The black feathered bird flew into the distance where it landed on a dead tree. Beside the tree was an old tilting tower that looked like it was about to collapse. ''wow! this is great, I'm going to explore that'' I said as I dashed down stairs to get my backpack and a flashlight. I left the house. I skipped along a stone path with my chin up. Soon later, everything felt a little dark and gloomy but the crumbling house was a few meters away. ''Was I already there?'' I thought to myself. I kneeled down and grabbed my flashlight. When I had looked up the house was right in front of me. I jumped up with my mouth wide open.
''w w-what?'' I yelled at that same moment the door flung open. I grabbed a sharp stick and pointed it to the door of the house. I slowly crawled in. My hands were shaking with fear as I tiptoed deeper into the dark house. ''h-hello um, I anyone t-there?'' a crow flew in from a shattered window in the roof and landed on my stick. I held a dark stone necklace. I dropped it on my hand then flew back to the roof. ''Take it and go!'' it squawked in a deep voice. I instantly ran back home and Yelling ''Help me!!'' I opened the door, went in and locked every single thing possible. I keeped the necklace ever since.
THE END
