Descriptive Writing

This week the  Felt Pens writing group have been learning to use different sentence starters to make their writing more interesting.  Here is what Maggie wrote.

The rough sea tipped the yacht from side to side. The waves were getting bigger and bigger, then all of a sudden a huge wave appeared filling the boat with water. "Everybody out" the captain yelled, so we all jumped off.  

As soon as I hit the water I floated and I started looking around. I saw my dad heading towards a little island so I followed . At last I reached the island and my dad helped me up the rocks on the side of the island. Even though I was still tired my dad told me to shout for the other people. Only one turned up, my mother. 

From that moment on I knew my life would never be the same. That evening, me, my dad and my mother went out to catch some fish for dinner. I felt miserable. However,  I knew it would be OK  because we had everything we needed right where we were.
