Spotlight on Kayla and Josef

After reading part of The Twits by Roald Dahl  we completed some descriptive writing about a character. The character was called Mr or Mrs Glob. The children had to imagine what this character was like and fully explain their different characteristics and quirks. They were rated 1, 2, or 3 on the level of each part of their descriptions. Here are a couple from the class:

Kayla:

Mr glob Is a truly and utterly disgusting man. He was so disgusting that when he got married he wasn’t in a suit or anything. He hadn’t even had a shower in the morning. He wasn’t only disgusting he was overweight, Fat to be exact. If he bent down to find a shoe in his wardrobe, even if he sat on the couch his button on his jeans would pop undone and is pants would fall down. He didn’t care if this even happened to him town. Everyone thought it was disgusting, but they didn’t say anything because they were so scared of his face that they thought they might faint if he talked to them. Luckily for them he never talked. It was almost like he talked so when he was little his mother superglued his lips.

When he was in town no one went near him. But why didn’t they?

The answer is he had a special spray, A very stinky spray. Actually a very very special stinky stinky spray. He sprayed it on every time he was going to be in public. He knew it scared people away, and thats how he liked it.

Going on to how just on part of his body might even give you nightmares, His face. Now don’t faint……..

He had peas mushed all over his face. He didn’t only have a green face he a face full of speed bumps, Wrinkles if you didn’t know.

Whenever he got asked out for a special occasion he made an excuse that he was busy. He never talks or communicates with anyone except his TV. You're probably thinking that TV’s aren’t human but he acted like it was. He fed it breakfast, Lunch and Dinner even sometimes desert. He talked to and had conversations. They even played board games together. Though he never watched it because of the food spilled all the way down to the carpet if you can call it that.

Josef:

Mr Glob was a putrid and foolish old man. He lived far away from town in an old shack in the woods. The shack was built of termite infested walls, held together with mud and raccoon droppings. Mr Glob was a rather odd man, for example his arms. One arm was huge and beefy and he could probably break your face with it. But his right arm was skinny and pathetic, you could see the bone and in a hand wrestle a two year old could snap his arm off, literally. As well as that he stunk. He smelt this way because he has never bathed properly. Whenever he bathed it was in a swamp full of frogs and god knows what else. He has never had a job as everyone refused to hire him because of his smell. And every now and then someone would come up and tell him he stunk. Then he would bathe in the sewer, track down the person who told him he stunk and stick his armpit in their face.

Lets move up to Mr Glob’s horrifying face. He had an insane hairdo, with tufts of hair sprouting out everywhere. Ear wax pours out of his ears and he has a snot waterfall streaming out of his nose.
