I really enjoyed doing this task. I liked how I could just let the words flow and not have to brainstorm my ideas like a information or newspaper report. I had nothing I really didn't like about the task.
Here is my writing:
Once there was a know-it-all president by the name of Jackson. He was very rude. He did not care about anyone's opinions but himself. He was going to fly to a far away to an unknown planet. He believed that neptune was an unknown planet. He talked to NASA and tried to book in a take off. (They said no) So he set off building his own rocket.
He went to the cardboard store. He went and got 50 boxes and taped them all together with tape from the warehouse. He got an engine from Repco that he loosely attached to the boxes. He taped it all together. He stepped inside.
“Why is it not taking off!?”he said. “URGH! It’s just too hard!” He was jumping around trying to get a morcillas, dramatic blast off. He was jumping around in cardboard with an engie dangling off the side taped together with warehouse tape. He gave up and looked on trade me.
He searched high and low on the trade me listings. Most of them were fake ones for toddlers. He wanted a 100% real one. Finally he came to the perfect listing. The only thing was that it said the words blue bottom. “Bit random.” he thought. The rest of it was perfect. He picked it up from Rangiora and drove back to his house. He started setting it up. He hammered it all the loose nails and bits of tin. After about seven hours of fixing it, he had finally finished. He took the small rocket, (Just the size to fit himself) shoved it in the boot of his car and toddler off to the nearest abandoned field. About 20 minutes of driving later, he found the perfect one. No trees, animals, or people in houses. It was perfect. He heaved the rocket out of the back of his car a plopped it in the middle of the field. It was time for take off.
Surprisingly, it actually took off! He blasted up high into the air. He looked down and all he could see out the window was fields. He tried to look further. There was a dust cloud forming down the dirt road. Slowly, it became larger and larger. Then there were people with big microphones running just a head of the dust cloud. They were taking photos, interviews and videos. “Oh My Gosh! I am even more famous than I was before!” He was rocketing up into the sky at full speed. A bit of the rocket fell off and he kept flying high. He burst out of the earth. He made it!
He was flying past Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.He was taking in all the He had finally come to an unknown planet. So he thought. It was only Neptune. He opened the door and hopped out of the rocket. “Yikes it cold! That was super close. I almost didn’t bring my jacket.” He pulled out his phone and started researching because he was certain this was an unknown planet. A ‘Never seen before planet’.
“WHAT!? I AM ON NEPTUNE, NOT AN UNKNOWN PLANET!” “Wrong planet” he thought to himself. He quickly called his friends. “Hey mate! What ya doing on Neptune? Bit stupid eh?” “Yeah can I get a ride back home?” “Sure, hop on in!” So he jumped in the rocket and flew back home. “No more planets for me I guess.”
24 days later...
Jackson goes to the box store and Repco for an engine.
