Welcome to the LAST FCAT Writes themed blog post! :) Your job this week is a simple - but vitally important one. Outstanding writers leave their readers with a take-away ending or summative conclusion at the very end of their writing. Below is a real writing frm a 4th grader that is missing its conclusion. Write your own conclusion that fits this expository writing and REALTES BACK TO THE MAIN IDEA.
Shadow Fort
I have a place I love to go. It’s a fort, or a clubhouse, where I can go with friends. We can hang out there, plan thrilling adventures, eat munchy-crunchy food, and rest. Shadow Fort is my favorite place for lots of reasons.
First of all, there’s plenty of room for a few kids. It’s large (gargantuan to me). The fort is 3 ft. 8 in. high, 5 ft. 3 in. long, and 3 ft. 6 in. wide. There’s a place in back (we call it the pantry) for crunchy crackers, tangy grapefruit, bright green avacadoes, ripe carrots, fresh berries, and Spanish moss. The roof is made of 4-ft. palm leaves and smaller fronds. When I am in the fort I feel as snug as an Eskimo in a cozy, warm igloo.
Second, this fort is the first structure I ever built, with the help of my friend Kevin. We built it during a light shower. It was only a few vines that tangled together to make a kind of cave that we could crawl under. We worked fast to put palm fronds and leaves over the vines. “Quick! Let’s get inside!” I shouted to Kevin. We got inside in the nick of time. Splish! Splash! It began to rain powerfully, and oh how the wind blew! But our fort kept us safe and dry. Later we named it Shadow Fort because it sits in a shady area.
Finally, Shadow Fort is my favorite place because it has everything we need. We keep food in the pantry, a small cot to sit on, and we even have a plywood door. One time Kevin fell out of a tree and hurt his ankle. He said the pain felt like sharp little needles stinging him. I helped him back to Shadow Fort where he rested on the cot. Then I made some “dinner”—crackers, carrots, and berries for dessert.
