This morning we accepted a radical mission from our teachers! With our hands bound behind our backs (with mostly whimpy knots) we were each asked to select a picture from a group of printed photographs from yesterday's walk. But it wasn't easy because we couldn't point! Instead we had to use good descriptions to explain which photograph we wanted. The ten photographs were then lined up and we built a story one sentence at a time. We did this three times and each story had new pictures! With our mission accomplished we were freed of our ties, well, most of them were slipping off anyway- but don't tell our teachers!
Story 1: A Guy and His Dog
Toby There were locks on the wall.
Anna The person jumps in the water, activates the pressure plate, and then the door opens.
Zachary The door outside leads to a very tall building.
Katy He jumps onto a trolley by the water in order to escape.
Izzy When he gets out of the trolley, he sees a boxer dog.
Jim This dog likes pink flowers.
Connor And that is the last thing he saw before he got sacked in the head by a giant shrimp!
Aiden His body flew backwards and he knocked two peaches out of a tree.
Kobe Then, he met another dog, but this time, it was even more adorable!
Garrett He found his dog and took him home.
Story 2: What Happened that Day
Katy There was a woman driving her black car
Izzy and she saw a black dress she really wanted
Garrett Then, she decided not to buy it and went to an art store
Aiden And there, she saw magical colored birds
Anna and these magical colored birds pooped magical colored flowers!
Kobe She walked outside and saw toxic sludge in the water
Connor She was running for her life, and she could only see blurry images going by
Jim And she ran out into a yellow road!
Zach and further along the track, she hopped into a Porsche.
Toby She then crashed into a stick and a circle (Connor's adendum: and a car blew up, the end).
Story 3 : Awesome Lamp Post
Aiden One day, a spy was living in his apartment next to a skyscraper.
Garrett Then, he saw some plants.
Kobe He was very suspicious when he was walking around because he saw a woman reading a newspaper with two holes in it.
Jim But he looked at the awesome lamp post and felt better about things.
Zach And he saw a very interesting building with very nice architecture and decided to go inside.
Connor But his adventure wasn't over yet. He was very suspicious. He eventually discovered a secret button behind the Janitor's room hidden behind the building with the balloons in front of it.
Anna There was a giant tree attacking the awesome lamp post.
Toby So, he made an arrangement to have the tree cut down. And he lost two teeth in the process.
Izzy And then he got dizzy, so the trees leaned sideways.
Katy After he was dizzy, he realized that there are lots of shadows and saw how wonderful the world is!
