Make good decisions!
Rosary
The Lockells are very troubled! Dom is the eldest, he is very annoying! Whether he’s out in the public or behind the curtains of his house he is very cruel and mean to anyone he comes into contact with. He always runs around his house quickly breaking all the rules. He has bright blue eyes with messy brown hair that is almost as long as his sister’s hair. Casey Lockells younger than Dom and she is very rude. She butts in the conversations and talks back to her teacher and even her parents. Here is a story of how they learnt a very important lesson.
One sunny morning in Yandere middle school, the most troubled kids in the town, Casey and Dom were sitting in their classroom with their classmates, but something was missing. “Where’s Mrs. Arlo?" They were all curious of where their teacher had run off too.
Just about 12 minutes later, their teacher still didn’t appear. “The bell has already rung, maybe we should go back home!” Called out Casey. Everybody laughed and so did Dom but he thought he had a better idea. “Hey guys, let’s trash the class and tell Mrs Arlo that it was already messy, it’ll be fun”, Dom shouted. “YEA, LET’S DO IT!!” The whole class barked out as if they were mad dogs trying to wake up the whole neighborhood.

Everybody stood up and drew on the board, signing their names and tagging all around the walls. They were dancing up and down all around the classroom. People already brought their lunch in, not to eat it but they used it to play, food fight. They threw their yogurt cups and banana splits to each-other.
Everyone was so happy and wild. Suddenly they heard footsteps coming down the hallway. “Mrs. Arlo is here, get back to your seats!!” Shouted Casey. “Oh hey kids sorry I’m late, I was stuck in traf...” said Mrs. Arlo. “Room 9! Why is this room messy and I want an explanation now!!” Casey and Dominic tried to make up an excuse. “We were trying to clean it up but it was just too messy for us to finish it” said Casey in an innocent voice. “Don’t you dare lie to me, I am going to report to this to the principal and see the camera footage of this madness!” Someone decided to be a snitch so they shouted out, “Casey and Dom, told us to trash the class!” They said pointing directly to Casey and Dom. “Casey and Dominic Lockells thanks to you, your classmates and yourself will have to clean this whole classroom.”
They had to stayed inside with no play. They cleaned the whole class and after they had finished they had to write ‘sorry letters’ to the teacher. The whole class regretted what they had done and they now know what not to do when the teacher is late.
Both Casey and Dominic learnt an important lesson. They learnt that if they choose to make the wrong decisions they will have to suffer the consequences. Both of them, changed and learnt from their mistakes as they grew up.
Learning intention: We are learning to structure a story effectively to entertain our readers.
Success criteria: I know I can do this when I write paragraphs that are clearly sequenced that helps to develop the story line.
