We read about Morris and how filthy and icky he is, and used the book and our prior knowledge and vocabularies to create a class brainstorm of descriptions.
We learnt that the first part of a narrative is the introduction or beginning. This is where you introduce your main characters and describe your setting. Please see our first go at our beginnings. Feel free to leave us feedback on what we could try and work on!
Here's a video of the story we watched:
One day there lived an ugly crusty monster.
His name was Morris. It was sunny. Morris is hot so he took his swishy, muddy
blanket off. He was so went outside for swim.
The beautiful golden sunrays hit Roseville,
the small village north of New York. The sunrays were heading towards a little
old smelly poo house. As soon as they saw it, they turned away and vomited some
yellow sparkles. He woke up and a big grumbling sound came from his stomach. It
scared the lovely sounding birds away from the trees. Crunch, crunch, crunch. That was the sound of
somebody munching some crusty old boogers from their hairy, hairy nose. But who
lives here? That would be Morris - a yucky looking monster with warts on his
back and long sharp, black nails. He’s hideous.
“Hi I’m Morris,” he or what said. Oooo a big whiff of his stinky breath just
hit me and it feels like a slap in the face.
Yawn, yawn as Morris slowly waked up in his
compost bed. He slowly stood up and put on his yucky t-shirt with holes and mud
stains everywhere. He went to his cupboard and grabbed a big jar of bogeys as
he put his hand in the jar and grab a big fat bogeys and chucked it in his
green smelly mouth. That bogeys must of made him strong for the start of the
day.
Slop, slop. The front of Morris’ revolting
house was falling apart, but Morris didn’t care, he liked his house being
smelly and disgusting. Morris lived in Star Village, a beautiful place and
anyone who lives there has lovely houses but not Morris. His bed is made out of
compost, he has a billion fleas in his eyebrows and he also flosses his teeth
with slugs.
There once lived a monster called Morris.
He lived in a house made of dung. He stretched his hairy legs and opened his
mouth. As he went for a stroll through the Arggghh forest, he felt unhappy and
he went to visit his mother. As he huffed and puffed up the hill he saw his
mother. His mother lived in a small place called Manurewa. He walked for half
an hour. As he arrived at his destination huffing and puffing, he saw his
mother as clean as he ever saw her. His mother’s name is ____________. She is a
tidy person. When he entered her house he felt very tidy. Then he thought to
his self ohhh where’s my mother gone, what kind of monster is she as every tear
that dropped out of his bung eye, he left with a trail of mud and yellow oozing
wax falling out of his ears. His mother was shocked she had to follow it until
it came to a stop. Ohh does my son live here, ohh what have I done. The bright
shining light hit his window arghh I hate seeing sunshine yuck I really need a
bath that will make me better.
There was a mankiest monster called Morris
who lived in a filthy house made of dung. The walls were filled with rusty old
slugs and windows cracked with caterpillars crawling out of them. When the
curtains light out threw the holes onto Morris’ bed, he opens his slimy old
eyes and eyes and yawns loudly. When he yawns you can see little bugs crawling
out of his mouth.
One sunny and shiny day, sun shined into a
little monster’s window named Morris he lives in a house full of dung and
sleeps on a bed full of old compost and he is so gross when he gets up he likes
to go in his bathroom and give his scabs a good pick.

A few months ago the government had heard
that there was an ugly and filthy monster living in a dump that looked just
like a wharepaku. This monster’s name was Morris. M for monster, O for odour, R
for rugged, another R for rashes on his body, I for icky and S for silly
monster.

One sunny, hot day there was a monster who
was the most messiest, most disgusting monster you would have ever met. His
name is Morris and he is yellow and has some orange patches. Morris’ eyes are
very different, one eye is small and the other is huge. His house is just like
walking into a house full of rubbish, but to be honest Morris thinks that his
house was beautiful (it is so not beautiful). One day Morris’ mother, Mary wasn’t messy, she
was so clean, she had a sign on her door saying “no dust”. Mary expected
Morris’ house to be perfect.

One day I was walking to the theme park
with my friends Jodeci and Rawiri. We
went on the Stratosphere, then we got off and we saw Connor our enemy. He
didn’t see us, he went to the back.
One dark and stormy night, lived a beast
called Chacho. He lived in the sewer and his house was made out of number 2,
also called poo. Chacho was green beast with hairy, snotty nose with freaking
yellow glowing eyes with disgusting yellow teeth filled with slugs and slimy
bugs. His bed was a water bed, but it wasn’t filled with water and next to his
bed was buckets of yellow and green water. Then one day the crocodiles heard a
huge growl but all Chacho can hear was his yawning and up he got of his number
1 bed.

One hot day Morris awoke and didn’t feel
dirty enough so he bathed in sewage water inside his crusty old house. He lived
in a village called Morrisville. That’s because everyone is named Morris.
Morris is the most ugliest, most hideous, most stinkiest ogre in Morrisville.
He has potato sacks as clothes and has holes in everything.
One day a hairy, fat, smelly monster woke
up with a giant death sprea of it was called the yawn and it was the most
terrifying thing in the world but that’s not it, there’s more to come. He got
out of his lovely muddy bed and walk outside to his brown green swamp. But when he walks he leaves a trail of
death! You had to be 600 metres away just to be safe from his deadly stench.
Once in a house made of dung there was a
little monster named Morris. One day Morris was bored so he took a bath in
sewage water. He still felt bored. Since he still felt bored he went for a
stroll through the woods but then… He tripped on a roof sticking out of the
path and fell directly into a crystal clear puddle and as he got up out of the
puddle to his surprise he was…. clean!
