Myst - First of the Month

Day 13

As part of our school's assessment we require the children to write in an 'assessment' book called First of the Month Book'. I was unsure what to ask the children to write, as I didn't want to continue with the planning, I wanted it to be additional to what they had already done.

So, I loaded Myst and went back to the Greenhouse. I wanted the children to write a paragraph about Saavedro's room. We entered the room, the children were really excited, they wanted to explore this area last week. We had a very good look around and discussed everything that was there - the desk, plants, hammock, diary, image on the wall and the lift.

Their writing

I opened the Greenhouse door. I walked in. I saw some really nice curtains then I saw a lever. I pulled the lever. Then the gate opened slowly. I saw some very nice plants and some fire balls, Next I saw a button. I pressed it and a gate opened. I was in a bedroom. In front of me was a desk and it had lots of things on it. I walked around and pulled another lever which opened the lift. I walked into the small lift, As I looked back I could see a hammock. On the hammock was a book, so I walked back and got it and read it. It was very interesting, very interesting.

I opened the arch door. I burst with excitement. The door opened with a squeak and I walked through. Soon I came to a lever. I decided to push it. In a flash the gate opened. I walked through. I saw some plants, some big ones and small ones. I opened the door. It opened in my left side. I saw a animal shelter. I pressed the button and out came a squee, but it went back in. I touched a flower and then the squee came out and went across the water to eat some berries. I went back into the house and into a bedroom. I think it is Saavedro's bedroom.
