Writing - Show Not Tell - "Getting Chased"

Getting Chased | Show-Not-Tell (SNT) | Tuesday 20th June 2017 | [ Part 1 ]

The sound of the howling wind travelled like a airplane,
as a unfairly-treated man leans against the splintery wall of a rusting shelter.
His heavy breathing accelerating every minute.
The voices echoed inside his head, while painful thoughts sailed across his mind.
A loud angry yell breaks through the howling wind, they were coming.

After some brief seconds of listening, thoughts of seeing them again made the man spill with emotions, but the yelling outside made him build up with fear.
With the voices, yelling, flashback memories and the howling wind made him feel like he was gonna crumble.
It felt like an ocean of emotions where you are getting dragged down by the mixing waves of emotion and whenever you finally reach the surface of satisfaction you get crashed back down by another wave of emotions, going and going like an endless cycle.
He was doomed. ✏

Writing - Explanation - Ever questioned mold?

Padlet Planning here.


Ever questioned about mold?


Ever questioned about Mold? Well, this document is here for you to read about the Life Cycle of mold! Hope you enjoy reading -


Firstly, just like every living thing on this existing earth you'll have start small and grow from that point. In the life cycle of mold, they start as a tiny little dot called a "Spore" which is the beginning of mold. Spores are airborne which means they fly/float around, landing on favorable surfaces such as fruits, wood and other relative things. Depending on the type, we'll be explaining about when a spore lands on a beautiful piece of fruit.


After landing on a favorable landing spot, the tiny spore would release a substance called: "Hyphen" which is a white hair-like tube. Hyphen breaks down the fruit, absorbing the nutrients of whatever it has landed on. But the mold doesn't digest the nutrients of its landing scene, it digests from the outside which helps it grow. But there isn't just one thin Hyphen,  there is a whole cobweb-looking system called "Mycelium".


Now, the main spore doesn't release one single Hyphen tube, it releases many of other ones to help break down and affect the desired setting. You don't normally see this happen cause it'd be cover with disgusting green fur or spots. The Mycelium system has Hyphen tubes crossed over each other, creating something that looks like a cobweb. But how does the next generation of mold continue?


Well the mold, during its deconstruction it produces a "dizzy array of fruiting bodies" which is the green stuff that appears on your bread or fruit and such, their job is to produce the next generation of spores/mold. The fruiting body can look like a red toadstool or just a teeny tiny knob, their primary job is to launch the next generation of spores!


In conclusion, it seems that mold seems to just ruin our food and such but mold is actually helpful for an example; "Moldy cheese" or to get rid of a pile of old dying plants.  The spore generation doesn't end, it  continues on and on and will never end.
