I go to Westwind School in Richmond, BC Canada.  I use a Vantage.  I am 8 years old. I wrote the story with my friend Eric.  First we thought of some ideas.  I thought about the tree houses.  Eric thought about a gun.  I thought about no mom, no dad.  Eric thought maybe they were attacked by a wild animal.  I thought maybe they got eaten by an octopus.  Ms. Blockberger thought it must have been a mutant octopus, because regular octopusses don’t crawl out of the ocean and eat you. 

After we thought of our ideas, I figured out how to program the story into the notebook area on my Vantage.  Ms Blockberger helped me.  Then Eric and I drew the picture.  Then we told our story to our class.  Everybody thought it was good. 

 

The Attack of the Mutant Octopus

By Jeffrey and Eric

My story is called the Attack of the Mutant Octopus.  My name is Jeffrey.  I live in a tree house.  My brothers live in tree houses too.  We live in tree houses because a mutant octopus ate our mom and dad.  We climbed trees to get away from the octopus.

 

One day, I was in my tree house cleaning my gun when I accidently shot myself in the hand.  I fell out of the tree.  My Vantage fell out of the tree too.  The octopus came out of the ocean and attacked me.  I screamed.  I said “I need help.”  I had to turn it up really loud so my brothers could hear.  I said Octopus!  Octopus! Octopus! 

 

My brothers came and blew up the octopus.

The moral of the story is that you can count on your brothers if you really need help.
