I was walking outside when I looked up and saw a cloudy grey sky and leaves dancing through the air, I also heard the trees rubbing their branches together. One thought came to my mind, It must be fall.
Fall is leaves fluttering down like baby birds. It is going outside to find a swarm of crisp colored leaves, waiting to be piled up. It’s seeing your breathe silently sneak out of you and turn to ice. It is also staying up till one a.m. listening to the bare tree branches smacking against your window.
Fall is sitting on the dark leather couch in my comfy PJ’s warmed by the caged fire. It is watching childhood movies for the first time since I was three. It is playing Family Feud during family game night without even realizing the wind smashing against the window because of all our yowling.
Fall is also baking season. It is mixing the cupcake batter together so fast that you end up with batter everywhere. It is smelling the amazing aroma of apple pie cooling down. Fall is dropping the puffy white marshmallows into the dark brown steaming cup of hot chocolate.
Fall is getting out the large down filled winter coat to stay warm throughout the chilly fall, followed by the drop dead cold winter. Fall is being bundled with toques and scarfs. It is seeing cute fluffy dogs walking around in hats and jackets, while my brother keeps telling me, “dogs shouldn’t wear coats!”
Fall is getting your Halloween costume at the last minute. It is finding the candy you bought three weeks ago, gone like it never even existed. Fall is not going to the pumpkin patch, but instead buying a big plump orange one from Superstore. It is getting out the books and waking up your brain from the 2 month nap during summer.
All of these things remind me of fall. Even though it is cold and rainy fall isn’t a time to be negative it is a time to spend with family and friends and enjoy the beautiful colors of the season.
Learning Intention: I can create a personal piece of writing that uses descriptive language to paint a portrait, starts with a strong leads and focuses on one main idea
What I learned: I learned how to create good sentence variety while writing this piece. Before I would make the same length which sounded quite boring, the sentences were around: 20, 23, 21 which wasn't very good sentence variety but then I changed it to this: 4,16, 25 which sounded much better!
