For literacy we have been doing a novel study on holes. My create was to rewrite one of Stanly’s home saying what camp green lake is actually like. This is my letter:
DEAR MOM AND DAD
It’s horrible here. Unlike its name there is no green anywhere around here. You know how it sounds like there’s a lake, there’s not. We spend everyday out on the lake, digging holes. This place is worse than prison. There are many dangerous animals out here. There are the rattle snake, the scorpion, and worst of all the yellow spotted lizard.
THE WARDEN IS EVIL
This place is run by one person, THE WARDEN. I don’t know her name yet but she will do anything to find what she is looking for. They all say that Camp Green Lake is for building character, but it’s obvious that we are looking for something.
YESTERDAY
When I first got here, they told me if I found anything interesting and the warden liked it I would get the day off, so a few days ago when I found a fossil I gave it to Mr Pandisky and he said that’s not what we’re looking for. Then X-Ray came up to me and said next time I found something to give it to him.
TODAY
I found something awesome. Today I was digging my hole like everyday, I was behind everyone else……… when suddenly I found this shotgun shell. X-Ray was nearly finished and I had barely started. I wanted to keep it for myself but I knew X-Ray would find out and I would make an enemy. After a lot of thought I yelled out I found something. Zigzag race towards me and asked me if it was another fossil. I said”not it’s nots a fossil”. I ran as best I could when you’re around holes, and handed him the thing. He was pleased, he was going to give it to the warden strait away but I told him that because he was nearly finished he should wait another day. I LOVE YOU BOTH STANLY. PS. I HOPE YOU WILL RIGHT BACK SOON.
