LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp
Fear I Overcame
“You got this!” says the voices coming from the outside, I took a big pause followed by a deep breath as the harness went the three Os on harness turned into Cs, straight after the helmet went on, it made me feel a lot safer. But head started spinning, like a rollercoaster. The fear rose as I took a step on the ladder. Holding the ladder, someone I trusted, I looked forward, just kept taking steps on each rail.
As time goes faster my heart starts racing out of my chest, a pool starts to form in my eyes. The staples got me, I started pulling myself up, one by one I go. Everyone’s shouting “you got this.” I whispered to myself “yes!” as I reached the top. My eyes turned into a dessert. I heard someone say “now get on the beam.” I felt like I had a new friend, while I was hugging the pole.
I took a step on the beam, my legs started to tremble as my feet took steps, my fears started to shrink. My frown turned into a smile. While I'm walking like I'm on a plane, I'm saying “love this thing!”
While I was walking across I hit a pole. I hugged it and said “I love you, my hero!” And when I thought I was done the instructor said “run to the middle.” I felt clueless, but I did it anyway. I stood in the spot and said something embarrassing, “Hi world, I love you!”
The sun goes down, as it gets darker. I let one foot off and then the other. Right that second I thought I was flying, I was relieved I made it to the ground safely. Suddenly the words out of my mouth said “I want to do it again.”
We created a recount givings a 5 minute recount what happend in camp. I chose to make a recount about what happened on the high beam or high rope. My recount explained what happend during the time and the emotions.
I found this activity fun because I got to express myself and enjoy what I did.
Hi Ong,
ReplyDeleteI like the way you used the describing words that were in the recount. I also done mine the same as yours. How was the high beam affect your life?
