Motivation for writing

Here is the link to the video animation about Usain Bolt that I was talking about this morning. There are teaching ideas under the video clips or you could simple relate it to the idea of 'dreams'.

Writing response to space video

Writing piece to entertain..

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1……. BLAST OFF! I wonder where it’s gone? Flames! Smoke everywhere. It was there a minute ago but where’s it going? Everybody watching. Looking. Smiles on their faces. I don’t know why. Space, everybody tells me, that’s where it has gone, space. What is space I wonder?

“How far away is space?” I ask.  “Could I go there?”

I look up to the sky and I can’t see the rocket ship any more. What do they do in this place called space?
