After writing down lots of words and ideas in class and at home yesterday, we began to write our exciting historical stories about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. I have started my story as an example on the board. In the first paragraph everything is normal in Pompeii, with no sign of the disaster that is about to happen. In the second paragraph, things start to go wrong, but the reader still has to guess what is going on until the seventh sentence. Later I plan to have my characters, Marcus and Flavia, leave the city and have a lucky escape, before the final explosion which buried the city at 6am the next day.
