Literacy Homework 18.4.13- The Titanic

Your homework this week is to write an emotive description as if you witnessed the Titanic disaster!!! You may write your thoughts from the point of view of one of the following...
 
*Iceberg
*Captain Smith
*Charles Lightoller (Second officer)
*Sam Collins (Fireman)
*A sea creature
*Frederick Fleet (the lookout)

Think about where you were at the time of the disaster...
Were you sleeping? On the deck? Having your dinner? Working? Playing games?
 
What did you see? How did you feel? What did you do? How did you react? What could you smell?
 
We look forward to reading your accounts and sharing them in class

  1. I am a fish. "Hey, whats that titanic?" I thought. I called all my fishie friends. Then we heard a noise from outside the water. It had crached into an iceberg! "It's coming down!" one of the fish said. Then as it went down, I stayed and watched. I saw it sink with lots of people and dogs. It sunk to the bottom of the sea. Then I told all my fishie friends what had happened.

    I am a 8 year old girl.
    "I was awoken by my parents shouting "We have to get off this ship,it is sinking."As we went down the stairs all we could see was water, people were running and screaming.I held my mum and dads hands very tight,I was very scared.
    We started running towards a life-boat,everyone tried too get on one.Me and my mum got put on a life-boat but,my dad was not allowed,it was only women and children, the life-boat started to go down into the sea, my dad watched us leave and he started to cry.
    All we could smell was the salt in the sea, it was horrible.Sprays of the ocean went into my mouth. We just had to sit and wait for help.

  5. I was a 5 year old boy.
    I was sleeping until the Titanic shacked. I woke up, felling worried. I went to see what was happening. Everyone was screaming and shouting. Then I realized that the Titanic crashed with an ice-berg. My parents were worried about me. When the Titanic broke into two parts, I was in my father's lap. Suddenly I slipped out of my father's lap, and fell down in the sea. The water was freezing cold. I was drowning in the sea. I tried to hold some broken parts of the Titanic but it kept slipping of my hand. I thought,"If my father was with me he would have tried to save me." I felt miserable about losing my life in a small age.

  9. I am the Iceberg.
    I was floating there minding my own business when all of a sudden a seagull shouted "mail boat dead ahead". Then out of the mist came the biggest thing iv'e ever seen. I was terrified and tried to move out of the way but I was too late. The next thing I know I have this great pain in my side and now there's pieces of me floating in the sea turning to slush, but I saw all those people floating around in the sea I felt really sad and guilty.

    I am an iceberg. I saw the whole Titanic incident with my eyes.

    It was a dark night and it was very foggy. I could not see anything.
    Suddenly, in the middle of the night, I heard a loud siren and saw flashing lights. Then I saw a huge ship called Titanic coming towards me. I was really scared and wished that I could move. But being an iceberg, I couldn't move.
    Then the gigantic ship crashed into me and broke into two. I saw people running and screaming for help. A lot of people died and some were saved by the life boats. Finally, I saw the ship sinking into the deep freezing sea.

    I felt sad because it was partly my fault and a lot of people died.

    "Honey quick the boats going to sink quick so we all ran. Me my mum and my dad got onto a life boat and they put us in the water my mum wrapped us all in a blanket and we all cuddled together. 7 hours later we saw a flashing light coming towards us so we shouted
