Student Samples: Upper Elementary
 The bluebirds tweeted their cute little songs, and the crickets sang theirs. We rode our bikes and sang for hours. Each day we hiked for a really long time. The vacation was fun!
by Jordan, fourth grade writer
 One day the radio said someone could win a vacation and we won! I went to the beach. I jumped on the bed. I swam in the water. I went to the water park. The vacation was fun. When we got home, I went to sleep like a baby. Zzzzzz.

Student Sample: High School
 When the students walked into the classroom, they felt very cold as if they walked into a dark cave. This coldness sent shivers down their spines, making the little hairs on their necks and backs stand up. Once they met the teacher, they were so scared of her, they turned as white as ghosts. This teacher would give you a deathly glare if you moved an inch. The students were not allowed to do anything. Even if they could, they wouldn’t dare to. Obviously, the teacher was strict and mean.
by Brianna, tenth grade writer
