Last week, I wrote a made-up News Paper report. This is about a dragon attack at Wellington in New Zealand. How can I improve this report? What's your favorite part of this report? These are all the things that you need to include in a newspaper report.

Dragon Tail's Are Real?!
By Mika
A creature that breaths swirling fire, flies like the wind roams in New Zealand?! At 2:00 pm in the afternoon, 15th May 2018. A 50-meter high dragon has been spotted terror rising the citizens of Auckland in Chili Street. We have no clue of how a fairy tale has come to life but biologists are now researching. A quote by Nikita Black says this. “I never thought this could be possible. The dragon destroyed skyscrapers and killed hundreds of people. He had blood red scales and eyes engulfed with rage.”
Biologists have found out where the dragon has come from. In Antarctica, there is an outline of the dragon on the ice meaning that the dragon has frozen and preserved the body. Over time the ice started melting freeing the dragon. The military fought the dragon in Auckland. Everyone has evacuated so the military can drop a nuke. Unfortunately, it didn't affect the dragon.
473 people have died and thousands are injured. Most of the city hid in the countryside. A quote by Mark McCray says. “It’s hopeless, half of the city is gone and the military weapons have no effect, not even a scratch. People say no we still have hope but they’re just blinded with happy endings. It’s over for us.”
In the dark ages, there were dragons. So people invented something called ‘The Black Arrow’. Legends say a Black Arrow can break through dragon scales. It may be a legend but, when there’s no more hope, people look for a miracle. Agents were sent to retrieve the arrow in all the castles. Right now they're still looking. If this doesn’t work, nothing will.
A dragon attacked Auckland. Biologists have found out how this happened. Military Weapons do nothing to the dragon. People lost hope and agents are looking for the black arrow that may be the key to the dragon’s demise.
Hello Mika,
ReplyDeleteHow has your day been? My name is Bella and I am a yer 6 student at Papakura Central School. I really like your post and I found it really descriptive. I did find the first part of writing small though and it was quite difficult to read.
Blog you later,
Bella.
Hi Bella,
DeleteYah, about the small words. I tried to change it earlier but it stayed the same so I just felt it. Short stroy, it was a glitch.Thanks for noticing. Have you made a newspaper before?

Hey Mika, its me Parwin!
ReplyDeleteI love your report that you have written because it was a topic that was unique and nobody did a report like that because you thought outside the box. I really liked your quote too because it was really deep and the words that you chose and where you put them were really nice and deep. By the way Mika, is it in Auckland or Wellington because in the title it says "A dragon in Wellington?" But in the story it says Auckland. Although besides that it was an ama87zing report!
Looking forward to your next posts,
Parwin
Hi Parwin,
DeleteThanks for pointing out the mistake. Surpising you didn't see the most imbarassing mistake. Instead of Fortunately, I wrote Fortnightly.
Mika
Great story. Is it true? I have my sharp stick ready to poke it in the eye if it heads south!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing story! Apparently you need to spear them in the heart！
