Here's a great opportunity to get your parents involved in your spelling homework. Here is the challenge. Choose ten of your words and write the most interesting paragraph you can, including all ten of the words. Remember we have been learning how to use similes, alliteration and personification. Try to include some of these language features into your paragraph. Remember capital letters for proper nouns and at the beginning of sentences. Remember to punctuate carefully too. See if your parents can write an awesome paragraph as well.

  1. I trod carefully through the aged TRENCHES of silt and mud. Angrily, I recalled the events leading up to this predicament. After hours of researching and SCAVENGING for all the information on war I could find, Mrs Stretch had proudly PROCLAIMED that our class was heading off to several countries involved in the World Wars to look at the old, WILD-MANNERED battlefields.
    "This is torturous," I EXPOUNDED, again tripping on a rock while the worms made a MOCKERY of me. While others were CANOODLING several metres away, I thought about how to end this INJUSTICE. No ideas came.
    "This is torturous," I REPEATED. I heard someone mention hydrophobia, then tripped on a tree root and fell face flat in the mud.
    "Get me out of here!!" I IMPLORED.

  3. The WEALTHY king is a very humble man. His SERVANT takes ADVANTAGE of people like him. The king COMMANDED the servant to start a search for a HUMOUROUS jester.The servant had others plans. These were to start an ARGUMENT between the towns people and the king. The servant commanded the towns people to abandon the town saying they were the kings orders. A PRICKLE went down the towns peoples spines as they thought the command was not called for. The servant suggested another way to stay in the town 12 hours hard LABOUR at the kings castle. In disagreement the towns people decided to attack the the kings castle it takes a lot of COURAGE to complete a task so difficult. The expedition was meant to be lead by the NATURALLY terrifying servant,but as the servant was traveling back to the castle 2 spies had told the king what the servant had told to the town. The king told the spies to tell the town how it was false information and told them to TARGET the servant instead. Later that night the servant died a painful slow death.

  4. Two days ago, I died, this is the story of how I died. (Clearing my throat), The day started at choir, the HARMONY of our singing was amazing! Then at maths, this was completly off subject but we were talking about BUDDHISTS and looking at an ASTRONOMY website. Then finally on the real subject of maths we were given an INSTRUCTION to get with a partner and find a speical DOCUMENT about TEXTBOOK equations like... 2754437578+3.14159638-1675443+110111000010010010101010001010=????
    Then we had to find the CIRCUMFERENCE of a circle as gigantic as if a Blue Whale swolled three 14 storied hotels. (Big) Soon after a though game of Zomie Tag we progressed on with Writing. I wrote an amazing story, took it up to Mrs. Stretch and she said,
    "There is no PUNCTUATION! And you spelt PERSEVERANCE wrong"
    I gasped with disbelief as if I can home to a pack of manic jaguars that had shredded my family appart. At lunch I was watching Hannah reherse her ROLE as Anne of green gables while I was eating a cheese scone and Hannah had a slip up and I was lauging so much that I started choking on my scone and I horrificaly Died!!!! And so that was the story of how I died.

  5. The troop accompanyed me to false emergency. A massive catastophe by the banquet in Germany. Personally I think we should stop the influence and just go home. I need to feed the dogs and everyone else needs to leave to do something else. What can I do to get everyone out of here. I know! I will tell them there is a infectious cold in here so they will all go away.

  7. When I came home from school there was an oil leak. The jug had boiled and I fell over. I saw oil on the soil. I went into the bathroom and my toilet exploded.
    "Here is the foil mum," I said.Then I saw a coil of rope. My dog was being boisterous.
    At kapahaka I did a poi dance. I pointed to the police car. I poised like a statue.
    "No, there is too much noise," I cried. "Here's my invoice for the broken toilet. Come back, I'm disappointed."

  9. The WISEACRE, thinking he was the height of INTELLECTUAL ability, tried to fix the GRAMAPHONE with INCONGRUOUS parts. he failed, and then had to suffer a lot of MOCKERY. He naturally turned BLASPHEMOUS, and started to DENOUNCE everyone. A police officer tried to PACIFY him, but the WISEACRE ASSULTED him, leaving him with concussion. He was finally caught by an INCORRUPTIBLE man, and calmed down

  11. Bob's LIFESTYLE was disrupted in the DISPUTE about whether Bob's parents were guilty of robbing the bank. At this thought Bob CONCENTRATED only on that instead of writing his ESSAY about CHORDS and TENOR clefs in music class. But before music class Bob taught his pet MOLLUSC(no one knows what type it was) to use a CHISEL and make computer GRAPHIC SpongeBob's . At 12 pm sharp the ERUPTION of a volcano INFLATEd ASIA to match the size of Russia and America put together.

    “The sun had a mind of its own. I’ll prove it one day.” That’s what my uncle used to say to me before I went to sleep. “It scolded you when you were bad, but it praised you when you were good.” I always looked at him strangely not daring to believe. “You don’t believe me, I know you don’t. But it does, it really does!” He paused for a moment. “All nature lives its own life.” He spoke proudly now, but there was always a tint of sadness in his voice. “The rushing TORRENT of water down in the stream, how do you think it moves? Gravity has no part in this story; the water needs to be free, just the same as us. You always see the green trees CANOODLING with their neighbor, high above our heads and their songs fill the air around us. But you never care enough to listen.”
    “but Uncle how can I listen to what’s not there?” I used to say.
    “Their voices are the most majestic things you’ll ever find that’s how. The clouds are the skies children, they cry just like us when they’re hurt or sad. But they mostly look at the earth, scowling at the things we do.” I couldn’t bare to think I was being watched every second of the day. “The tornados are the SENTRIES, guarding a land so far from our reach. If only we could find that land. But you will believe in the end. I know that at least.” He spoke as if he knew I already did. “Just hear me out. The wind HURRIEDLY glides from place to place, in search for something it shall never find. It needs GUIDANCE to look and to search and to live. The slightest nudge in the right direction could be all it needs, but sometimes it needs a push and a shove to start them going. And some don’t start at all. The MINIATURE waves crashing on the shore, they are racing, just like little boys. Over and over and over again.” I looked up at his gleaming face, it looked as if it were getting brighter as he spoke. “Now you think I’m crazy, a bit bonkers in the head.” He carried on. “The CAMARADERIE among the dancing leaves should be a lesson to us all. Take life not so seriously and flow where the wind takes you. Let it help you along and don’t try to struggle away. Even the tsunamis, hurricanes and sink holes have their own minds. Trying to devour everything in their path. They are the evil in the lands that we are not able to reach. Life is a TALISMAN you must try to INGRATIATE yourself with it, understand the ways of the other lands. They are more magical than you’d ever imagine. Make them MEMORABLE!”
    “How do you know all this?” I got the courage to ask one night.
    Then he whispered in my ear “I’ve been there before.” And just with that he faded away.
