ALLITERATION ACTION

Scary Cemetery Witch

By: Dillon T.

     In a creepy cemetery where shadows follow you and slime oozes out of gravestones lives a witch named Cedric Skullboiler.  He casts spells with his wand.  His skin is scaly, and he causes scandals.  There is nothing more selfish than Cedric.

     Every Halloween night, he soars through the sky searing everything in sight.  He slices up the crops and scares everybody out of town.  He craves children, but nothing scrawny, so he cooks the big ones first.  As he stirs the ingredients, steam rises to the ceiling.  When he’s done with his scrumptious meal, he goes to scare again.

     The next time you venture into a scary cemetery, be cautious, or risk being Cedric Skullboiler’s lunch.

After studying alliteration and Pablo Picasso's art techniques, students wrote a short alliteration piece about a witch. Then they created a witch in the style of Picasso.

Happiness
By: Hagan

Happiness is a door.  If you open it, you will find a whole new world.  All you have to do is find the key.

Happiness is a tree.  It grows and grows until an evil rises up and chops it down.

Happiness is the ocean.  You can find many treasures.  Just open your eyes and look.

Happiness tastes like sweet candy tickling your tongue.  It smells like a red rose in a bright red field.  It sounds like a child’s laughter on a crisp fall day.

Riding a Dinosaur Coaster in Jurassic Park
By: Brianna Gilbert

                                      Swish! Swish!
   The coaster started moving and it took us in a river. Tiny, mysterious heads started to pop out of the surrounding woods, looking at us curiously, and then popping back into the woods.
                                  Rustle! Rustle!
   The plant- eating dinosaurs eased out of the woods, followed by the “tiny, mysterious” baby dinos that were poking their heads in and out of the trees. The adult dinosaurs started chewing the leaves off of small plants and trees.  The baby dinosaurs were chasing each other as if they were playing tag, Dino Tag that is!
                                 Chug! Chug!
     The coaster led us into a factory filled with boxes, blinking lights, and turning gears.   The gears were turning very loudly. Everybody was amazed by how huge the gears were. To me, they looked like a huge truck! The blinking lights seemed as if they were brighter than the sun!
                                      Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!
     A Tyranosaurus- Rex came out of nowhere! He was huge! His teeth were sharper than anything I have ever seen!
                                     ROOAARR!
       He shouted at us furiously, as if we had entered the hunting grounds of the Tyrant Lizard King! Uh! Oh!
                                     Sniff! Sniff!
      He bent down, sniffing us like he was going to eat us! The air coming from his nostrils felt like a storm was about to hit us. I covered my face, blocking the warm air.
                                          Slip!
   I got scared and slipped down into the floorboard.  I didn’t want to get eaten! Especially at such a young age! I needed to hide somewhere! There was nowhere else to hide!

                                Chug! Chug! Screech!

    We passed the T-Rex and through the factory and chugged away from the T- Rex. The ride was over. Thank goodness! I unbuckled the seat belt and raced back to my family for safety from the Tyrant Lizard King!
