etherpad writing

Good morning everyone, Room 2 was introduced to etherpad writing at computer time with Mrs Prescott on Wednesday. We were in groups of two. When we typed we could see other children's writing happening at the same time!! We had 3-4 groups on one pad. It was exciting to see everyones writing at the same time. Here is a comment from Mrs Prescott.

Hi Room 2

I went through the class etherpads and saw this outstanding piece of writing:

Lego Mini Figures 

The wind swirled around me, creating a tornado of leaves and dust around ankle hight. The city was deserted, not a living creature in sight.The rain poured down continuously, drenching everything and everyone in its path. Trees swayed violently, a living nightmare for birds. The sun had disappeared behind the horizon eons ago, plunging the city into immense darkness.

The wind tore through the city like a pair of scissors through paper.

Lightning zapped on buildings and trees alike, leaving a static sound in the air. Thunder boomed like an eternal drumbeat. Birds screeched, sirens, a warning to all. A car hurridly swerved wildly down the street, narrowly missing a broken lampost by a mere centimeter, fumes hissing out of the cars exhaust pipe. Suddenly, a group of cats scuttled away quickly in a torrent of shrieks.

I love the way a picture was built up in the mind with the rich language.  Well done Lego Mini Figures.

Regards

Mrs Prescott
