The Accident

The Accident

This is writing activity helps the student to sequence their writing. The comic strip is used as a motivation to write his/story…  This is Gabe's interpretation of the pictures


One afternoon in the city it was very cold and people were shopping.




I saw an old man with a wooden walking stick. He was just about to cross a busy road.

The old man with a wooden stick walking stepped onto the busy road. He didn't look both ways and almost got knocked out !
 The old man didn't see the car but the car driver did see the old man.  The car driver slammed on his brakes, and the car almost did a drift.


We are tomorrow finishing off our writing, so stay tuned for the final caption…...
