Animal Creative Writing
Oscar's Outdoor Adventure
BOLD BEGINNING: It was a wintery morning in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland when Oscar, the friendly young cat, decided it was time to go exploring. He called out to his friends, who all lived at the Baccalieu SPCA, to come along but none of them were interested in leaving their warm homes.
MARVELOUS MIDDLE: Oscar jumped up the humongous snowbank and started out on a journey. He decided the snow was much too high for him so he walked in the tire tracks from the cars and trucks. Finally, he came to an old playground. He carefully walked up to the very top of the slide and looked around. As far as his eyes could see was a brilliant sheet of white snow. "HMMM," he thought. "I think I'll play in the soft snow." He used his little paws and his nose and rolled the snow into little balls. He jumped up high, then he dug little tunnels and went under the snow. When he was thirsty, he stopped and licked up snow. It was very refreshing. Finally, he rolled around and made cat snow angels in the snow. After a few hours of enjoying the outdoors, he decided he was hungry and decided to head home.
EXCELLENT ENDING: "Meow, Meow, MEOW", he announced as he entered the SPCA. The workers looked at Oscar and saw that he was covered in snow and looked very hungry. They put fresh tuna down in his dish and he lapped it up excitedly. Then Oscar curled into a ball on the rug and drifted off to sleep dreaming of his next adventure.
Snowman Magic Writing
Bold beginning
It was the day after the biggest snowstorm that I have ever seen in Newfoundland. When I looked outside all I could see was a brilliant sheet of white. I quickly got dressed into my warm winter clothes and went outside. I couldn’t wait to get ready for an exciting day of snowman building!
Marvelous Middle
Outside the air was crisp and cold. I started to roll the bottom ball of the snowman. When it got too heavy to roll anymore, I made a medium and then a small ball. I stacked the snowballs on top of each other and then looked around for some rocks for eyes and a mouth. I took my hat and scarf off and placed on his head. Luckily, I came prepared so I pulled a long carrot out of my pocket. When I placed it in the place where a nose usually goes the most amazing thing happened. He came alive! Suddenly he let out a loud laugh. He ran towards the house and grabbed a slide. He started to head up the hill behind my house and quickly slid down the snow-covered hill. He waved for me to come along with him. Together we played all afternoon.
Excellent Ending
A few hours later, I heard my father call out that my supper was ready. I waved goodbye to my snowman and hoped I would get to play with him again soon. As I walked into the house I looked back to where my new friend was standing and he was gone! There were no marks or tracks where we were sliding, and no balls of snow. The bright carrot was the only thing left in the snow.
Creative Winter Polar Bear Writing: You wake up one morning to a scratching sound at your door. Not sure what to expect, you open it very slowly and you spot a newborn baby polar bear. Write a creative and interesting story, telling about what you do with your new creature. Do you keep it? Do you train it as a pet? Do you return it to the wild? Do you bring it to the vet or SPCA? Remember to write a BOLD beginning, a MARVELOUS middle, and an EXCITING ending!
BOLD BEGINNING
It started out as a regular Saturday morning. I got up, went out to my living room, and turned on the T.V. As I settled in to watch some cartoons, I heard a scratching sound come from the front door. My dog started to bark so I knew someone was in the area. I ran to the porch, opened the door, and what I saw amazed me!
MARVELOUS MIDDLE
A tiny white fur ball was shivering at my door. He looked up at me and I knew he would be the newest and most perfect pet for me. I picked him up and soon discovered that this baby polar bear had very sharp claws. I had to be very careful handling him and I knew I would have to start training him while he was still a baby. I got blueberries and canned salmon from the kitchen and rewarded him every time he listened. I taught him to sit and stay after just a few days. I got my dog's crate and filled it with blankets. He liked to sleep there at night. Everyone loved our new baby bear and we had visitors from far and wide come to see him each day.
EXCITING ENDING
Finally, after three short months, he became too large to keep in the house. We also had a hard time feeding him enough fish and berries. I called the animal hospital and they came and took him. They told me that he would be shipped to a zoo in Ontario where he would be cared for and loved by a large team of workers. It was sad saying good-bye, but we knew there was no other choice. I will always remember that most unusual and special pet.
