Student Sample: Upper Elementary
 A Visit to the Museum
by Alfredo, fifth grade writer
Person/Character: a hunter
Place/Setting: a museum (at night)
Thing: a net
Joe entered the museum of Ancient History, looking for an unusual adventure, a terrifying adventure because he was a brave hunter with his net. All of a sudden, Joe heard steady footsteps behind him. He twisted his body around to see what had happened, but nothing was there except for the American Indian exhibit. He was frightened; he also felt someone watching him. The cold, dark museum was silent except for the wind coming from an opened window, but then he heard the sound of moving keys. A little bit of moonlight shone on Joe’s silver net launcher and made him fall down. When he looked up, the dinosaur’s skeleton in the dark made him tremble. Joe heard someone whistling, so he turned around, accidentally pressing the button to launch the net. What if Joe’s net was launched to a police officer that worked at night?
