Shark Attack

Goal: to use feelings and descriptive words.

Shark Attack
DRAFT ONE:

There I was floating on my board relaxing in the sunlit ocean, feeling the heat on my back. Until suddenly! Something was attached to my leg, I spun around and saw a humongous g-g-gr-great white sh-sh-sh-shark!! I started kicking, thrashing and punching trying to get away. I threw myself off my board and paddled away, every few seconds I looked over shoulder to see if the shark was still coming at me, it turned out was following me. Feeling panicked my 
swimming got slower instead of fast because I was panicking. I heard this roar (I thought it was the sharks tummy) instead it was two jet skis and a rescue boat coming to save me, I still felt a little shaky as I scrambled on the boat and 
headed to the shore. Now that I was safe on shore I was sure that I was never going to surf again.

Something was attached to my leg, I spun around and saw a humongous g-g-gr-great white sh-sh-sh-shark!! I felt panicked even more than anyone else, I started kicking, thrashing and punching trying to get away. I threw myself off my board and paddled away, every few seconds I looked over shoulder to see if the shark was still coming at me, it turned out was following me.

  5. I love the bit about the you thinking that the noise was the shark's tummy and I love how you put it in brackets! Well done. You've used some great words and let us know how you were feeling by talking about g-g-g wh-wh- white, etc.
    Near the beginning you used an exclamation mark when you said 'until suddenly'. In this case I think ... would have been better than an exclamation mark. An exclamation mark can only be used at the end of a sentence (because it is like a full stop). Can you see if you can make some changes around this sentence?
