Speed Week Sentences - Week 16

Speed Week Sentences have evolved.  We are now given the task of writing a sentence for a given Far Side comic.  Then, when revising, we are to write a second sentence, join it to the first with a conjunction word, and add adjectives and adverbs to improve our sentence.  Here are the results from our first attempt at this.



"This is a rocket, but it sucks." - Lanny

"I have created a rocket, but it does not look like the picture!" - Morgan

"Why does our rocket look so weird, and why is it crooked?" - Keegan
