__**Walt: write a description story about a sophisticated hippopotamus who likes to solve puzzles.**__

**S.C** **(you don’t have to use all of these)**
 * **3 similies**
 * **3 metaphors**
 * **2 personifications**
 * **1 alliteration**
 * **3 onomatopoeias**
 * **It will be 1 paragraph long**

Crash!!! The hippo woke up alarmed. “What was that!!!!” “Yeah we got the diamond necklace!!!” Said the robbers. “I must go and take a look!” Said the hippo. So she raced down stairs to take a look. No one was there. “Where is my award wining diamond necklace. They must have took it! Wait a minute, what is this?” What she found was a contract for stealing all the necklaces in the world. The contract is called: Diamond dash hunt. So she called the police and they came over right away to sort out the crime that took place. A few years a go this fine hippo was a police officer. **TO BE CONTINUED..........**

// Nice beginning with a onomatopoeia! Good use of alliteration in the heading for the contract. I don't see any similes!! This is a good start, but you need to work on setting the scene better, really describe what you are trying to say. //

// next learning step // // Work on trying to paint a picture in the mind by using language features such as, similes and adjectives. // // Work on using a range of sentence lengths, simple sentences can be effective but try not to over use them. //
