WRITING OBSTACLE
You are a child who has lost their favourite toy on a day out, and bedtime is quickly approaching. Describe how this makes you feel.
Consider your language choice carefully here, and the age of the child. How do they display their emotions?
Meowy
Mommy says it’s almost time for bedtime
The rain and thunder scares me
Daddy says it can’t get me inside
Meowy will protect me
I will just grab….where is she?
Meowy?
MEOWY!
No, no, no!
I played with her outside
And now it’s pouring
She must be so cold
Tears rain down my face
Daddy braves the pelting water
To carry out a rescue mission
Lightning flashes, thunder cracks
I shudder and cower and yelp
Mommy holds me while I wait
Then the door opens
Meowy!
Daddy kneels down and hands her to me
She’s soaked but she’s here
I thank Daddy for saving her
Mommy dries Meowy
She lets me stay up until Meowy is done
I snuggle up in bed, covers over my head
With Meowy in my arms
Now both of us are safe
