5. Reading

a. In reading I read a story about a really bad storm and I had to pretend to be the main character being interviewed about the story: What was your first indication that the storm was going to be a bad one?

When they had to close the pool due to severe weather warnings.

b. Why did you decide to go to your own home instead of Zack’s?

Because my house was closer and I didn’t want to leave him there alone in the bad storm.

c. What happened when you tried to get indoors?

The door was glued to the house and the wind was pulling Zack and I back so it was hard to get to the door. When the door finally opened it swung against the side of the house and flapped in the wind and wouldn’t close again.

d. What did you do once you got inside the house?

Well we immediately went into the closet under the stairs because I felt that that would be the best place in the no basement house for us to be sheltered.

e. At what point were you most frightened?

When the couch banged against the wall next to the stairs, I was most frightened because the couch weighed so much that I began to think the=at the wind could pick us up too. I was also frightened when I saw the lighting through the crack on the ceiling.

f. How could you tell that Zack and you were safe?

When the storm grew distant I knew that we had experienced the worst of it and that we have survived it.

g. What kind of storm do you think you survived?

I think it was a tornado because of the circulating winds and eerie green sky.

6. Writing

a. Continuing on with my story:

                After that spell Reagan knew something was going wrong, and then when she was over at the cake cutting slices and handing them to people that weren’t there Claire began to worry, she was doing every action and spell that Melissa was doing Claire started to worry. Melissa however had no idea this was going on so she went completely crazy and started dancing, Reagan doing the same thing. “It’s not me mom! Something’s going on!” Reagan said to her mom as she was dancing with no music. Finally when Melissa sat down Reagan did too, super dizzy and super confused. “Mom, how did I make my cake disappear and make a completely new one?” “I don’t know” Claire said remembering a little bit more about that night with Melissa when they were told to be dolls. With all the chaos of that night Claire forgot to tell Reagan about their exciting news, so she did that morning. Reagan came down stairs at six o’clock in the morning unintentionally, because Melissa did, her parents weren’t even awake yet, usually they all went downstairs together, Claire and Steven were very surprised to see her downstairs drinking milk out of the jug, following every move Melissa was doing.
