The Singing Inspector I was sitting in class doing the usual Math and English. I was sitting in my favourite spot, it has a great view of the hall on one half and the big girls garden on the other half. I was looking at the hall section when Mrs James was finding her papers when I saw it! It was some sort of creature! It had a big fat red... well it would be a disgrace to call it a face but it was where the face usually was. It had two blue evil dots on it and gold furry stuff on top. We were told we had to go to the hall for singing but that was not the petite Miss Alegra our singing teacher. We walked, the girls shoes clicking on the floor. There was a fearful vibe which was odd because everyone was normally really excited . We walked into the hall and he stood there staring us down like a treacherous rhinoceros of gigantic proportions. Stand up! He said as we sat down. We were frightened. I was petrified.”Tattatetta tetta tatte tete tata” we sang. I personally hate this exercise because I always accidentally bite my tongue which makes my it hurt. Then we all had to sing in groups of two. Jessica and Gladis! It is Jessie! Said a voice inside me. Jessica and Gladis sing he snarled. He tapped the modulator. My heart thumped inside me, I could all most feel my body shrinking. I could only think of one thing to sing, a song we turned into duet. Gladis and I were practicing it with Miss Alegra. The Sidewalks of New York, I whispered in great fear. Okay, she agreed. We sang and each and every person seemed to like it even the singing inspector tapped his well, I guess you could call it a shoe. He tapped it once then became a terrifying monster once more. As we got to the melody, the harmony, the bridge and chorus things got less tense. It felt safe enough to clap for everyone but just then “shut up!!!” boomed the singing inspector. Everything was silent. That was passable he snapped at us! We fearfully got to our seats. I felt relieved and rather pleased with my self. He stared me down...he wiped the smile of my face. He is a rude bully and I wonder if he is related to a monster, I mean he looks the part. By Jessie Mount-Batten

  3. Lameez, you have included some enjoyable descriptions and have also made an effort to describe your character's feelings during the lesson. Don't get so absorbed in your story-telling that you forget to plan it into paragraphs. This will help to break up your narrative into smaller chunks that are easier for your reader to take in and process. I enjoyed the comparisons you have used and the powerful verbs you have included.
