FreeWriting- Magic Writing Tram Activity

(I also have this posted on my regular blog but per Heather’s suggestion, I am posting it here too.)

News has just spread throughout the land that a magic genie has taken up residence in the canteen. Students who fill out lunch orders can have everlasting supplies of their favourite food. There are no limits! The genie will grant all wishes and permit boys and girls to take food home for Mum, Dad, the dog, brothers and sisters.

Now, write the radio report, from the first news team on the scene to report the situation as children rush the canteen and test the genies power to produce everlasting supplies of food for the hungry hordes.

”Ladies & gentlemen, breaking news! If I were not here, I would not believe it. I am crushed against the tram’s canteen wall, looking at a real live genie! Yes, you heard right- a genie!  What is he doing, you might ask? Well, right now he is handing a little girl a triple-sized banana split topped with cherries & marshmallows. Here she comes,

“My, that is a mighty tasty looking banana split, are you going to share that with a friend?”

“No.”

“No? What’s your name, kid?”

“Sandy.”

“Sandy, so you’re going to eat that all by yourself?”

“Yes sir.” (starts eating)

“Looks like Sandy is already taking a bite, is it good? Does it taste like real ice cream?”

(Wipes face with coat sleeve) “Yes, sir. You wanna try?”

(Eats) “Mm, mm. She’s right listeners. Taste like the homemade ice cream my granny used to make. Well, there you have it. A genie who grant any & all of your food wishes. If you’ll excuse me, I think I am going to put in a request myself.”
