Imagined Worlds
In Literacy we have looked at the use of expressive and descriptive language in stories to create mood, arouse expectations and build tension. We then watched three animated scenes from KnowledgeBox and chose one to describe. Here are some examples of our work.
Rocky mountains in the distance stand tall over the rocky surface. Thick and red the atmosphere pushes against you, stealing your breath from your lungs.Metal alien like claws, reach out and wrap around you, until your face turns blue. The metal claws are like torpedoes blasting through the atmopshere.
Christian
In the distance the rocky mountains leap over each other in a dusty haze. Yellow stars reach up into the red, dusty sky.
Crystal
Robot tube arms are wriggling, gently in the air as if they can't help themselves. Their metal claw hands, look as if they are going to strangle you!In the distance the rocky mountains hang over the muddy floor. A red breeze stands over you.
Stars hover over you like ghosts, shooting stars fly across the sky.
Emma
Huge, blood circled rocks attached to the red ringed planet floating in space. The massive boiling sun is shining brightly on the planet's surface.
Sian
Slimy seaweed scraps you as you go past. It seems to hold you for a minute, before calmly slithering away. Secretly beams of light escape through the sea weed.A dark and mysterious shape moves towards you hungrily. A huge eye clearing its way towards you. Nervously, you move backwards.
Connor
It was dark and gloomy, the deep, blue sea stretches out to grab you. Jelly fish floating silently in the heavy, thick atmosphere. Colourful, scaly fish weaving slowly along the slimy, slippery floor. A fork shaped monster traps them against the sand.
Hydie
Spiky flanks try to catch at you for a second, before they glide away. Frightening objects fly beside, below and above you. Dark and gloomy the atmosphere turns, followed by bloody red and black. Disc like objects shoot towards you like grey bullets.
Suddenly, a frightening monster appears, its jaws snapping together, killing what ever gets in its way.
