The Accident

This is writing activity helps the student to sequence their writing. The comic strip is used as a motivation to write his/story…  This is James's interpretation of the pictures

 Early that night in the city people were getting their dinner. The wind was blowing hard.

I saw an old ugly man with a mental walking stick . I noticed that the old man stepped onto the road without looking both ways.

  The old ugly man stepped onto the road when the red Mazda three came roaring at him.

 The old man saw the car coming straight at him. The driver of the car hit the brakes!!

We are tomorrow finishing off our writing, so stay tuned for our final caption…...
