We use punctuation to make sense; to give the story more detail and it’s; and it’s way easier to read. Punctuation is one of the main parts in writing and the simplest thing can make it more interesting to read. Punctuation makes your writing make a lot more sense for the reader because they know who’s talking and all you need to do is add simple speech marks at the beginning and end where someone speaks. To make the story have more detail we can insert it by using colons, semi colons, comas and hyphens. It makes our story more interesting. Our stories are so much easier to read when we use full stops and capital letters. It shows the reader where to start and stop at the start and end of a sentence   These are some reasons why we use punctuation. By Jasmin.

It was a nice sunny spring morning in Taranaki so me and my family decided to go on a bush walk in Taranaki National Park. I breathed in the nice fresh air and listened to the native birds and rushing streams. Dry leaves crunched under my   feet and I smelt dirt and plants. Finally after we had walked for a while Mum announced she was famished and we should sit down for a rest and a snack I sat down on a damp log and opened our day pack I got a kiwi fruit out. Suddenly there was a quick flash and I felt the kiwi fruit get snatched out of my hand ; the kiwi fruit was gone. I caught a glimpse of a black cloaked figure sprinting away, I chased after it as fast as I could it felt   like I was going 100 km an hour we winded through trees   and twisted through vines. I could see a mysterious blue object shimmering in the distance I tried to   identify it but before I could stop I went flying through it like a speeding bullet.   The whole world turned upside

It had been raining all morning and then there was a enormous bang had waking me up in a fright. A cascade of water had catapulted into my room as if it was furious. Leaping out my bed I hastily hid behind the lee side of my archives in my wardrobe. Where I’d hidden was not adequate as I got tugged away in the massive wave of debris and distractions.

I walk out of the door and see that my hometown is destroyed. This is based on a true story, from my experience in a tornado. By Katie 🦄

THE MINUTE OF HORROR It had been raining all morning, but I didn’t know until the bang woke me up...   Sharp, high pitched screams erupted my eardrums, as I rushed down the hallway and drew the curtain open. There lay a horrible sight.   A fluorescent streak of lightning flashed across the bruised sky as thunder crashed on the ground. Water engulfed the house, muddy water seeping under the doors. A massive swirl swished around the house and all of a sudden, it was gone. I looked outside and my home town is destroyed. SCARLET
