First I went with my reading group on the floor and we talked about the keywords you will find in the book like clattering. stomping. crashing and many more. We also commented and answered the questions. The mood I was trying to make the reader feel is terrified and scary.

Next I went off and did the task. There was heaps of sentences that are unfilled and we have to fill in the spaces with a word that makes the reader feel a certain way. I also wrote what I saw, heard, felt, taste, and smelt in the book.
