Eruption! by Aimee

Eruption by Aimee. (Personal Recount)

The light flashed green several times. We all slowly creped inside the tiny batch house wondering what it was doing in the middle of the Volcano exhibit. Suddenly the large television automatically switched on, our eyes stuck to the screen. A news reporter and a Scientist were explaining about smoke coming out of Rangitoto’s volcano and saying the possibilities of it exploding were minor. Then the cameras switched over to people evacuating their homes and lining up with all the traffic surging over the motorway. Just at that moment the television disconnected, the lights flickered and faded out then somehow the house shock violently back and forth, the over head projector showed Rangitoto spitting out lava rocks and it also showed the aftermath. When it finished the lights came back on so we continued through the Museum.

Well done Aimee, I liked the way you wrote your feelings into the story. Maybe you could of used a thesaurus to get more interesting adjectives.

Great writing Aimee,

You have used some awesome vocabulary like disconnected, violently and aftermath.
Maybe a next learning step could be to use paragraphs.
