This week in 5C we have been exploring the features of newspaper articles. We then wrote our own reports set the day after the eruption in Pompeii. Below are some examples of our orientations.
A catastrophic and immense natural disaster has demolished the thriving city of Pompeii, brutally murdering vast amounts of innocent people!

Wow 5C! I am impressed with your use of powerful adjectives and adverbs.
ReplyDeleteWell done guys! 6F liked all your sophisticated adjectives as well as some really powerful verbs like 'obliterated'. As a next step we thought maybe a drop-in clause to add information specifying what type of natural disaster it was.
