The children can see the dark blue harness while they walk to the swing.You can hear their hearts pounding while as someone saw the person before them climb down the ladder.In the uncomfortable harness the child walked over to the swing.The terrified student climbed up the ladder and the instructor clips the student in.As the instructor pulls the ladder away the shaky student says Level 3.

Slowly but gradually the terrified student gets higher.The wind is colder the higher the shaky body gets.The student feels like he's defining physics as the child starts to get a bit high for his comfort.It felt as if the harness was not there for the child.You can see the fear on the childs face as the rope stops pulling so he stops getting higher.

All you can hear is a countdown filling the empty sounding air.Then a scream.The student has been released and is swinging from side to side.As the swings got smaller the shaky body got calmer and the student came down.

Student Reflection:
In my writing one of my goals is to use different sentence beginnings and lengths.
I did show this goal here because I had lots of different sentence starters and used different sentence types to help with length.

In my writing one of my goals is to use different sentence types-simple, compound and complex.
I did show this goal here because I used different sentence types in order to help with lengths.

My next step is to support main ideas with details that fit.

Teacher Comment: Troy, this piece of writing really made me smile. I love how you've crafted it to hook the reader from the very start. You've written a moment in time, describing all the senses. You've used a variety of sentence types. Your next step is to use commas in your complex sentences to separate clauses (ideas).

Animal Name: salt water crocodile

Dear salt water crocodile

Why do you have scales?

I have scales to protect me from incoming animals that may be a threat. Being able to camouflage under water is also thanks to my scales.

Dear salt water crocodile 

How do you ambush prey?

I camouflage underwater, and wait for my prey. If they are on land, I whip them into the water with my tail. If they are in the water, I use my webbed feet to shove myself towards them.
