My Minecraft Journey: Autumn

Post Age 10 Published November 7, 2020 by Lina Kim

Hi! My name is Autumn, and I’m going to tell you about my journey to the village. I grabbed some food, saplings, and supplies, and set off into the forest. I walked for a couple of hours, and got hungry. It was nearing nighttime, so I built a shelter and planted saplings. I went mining, and wrote a little in my journal. I placed down my bed and went to sleep.

Eyes (October 24, 2020)

Post Age 11 Published November 6, 2020 by Peri Gordon

Eyes by Peri Gordon, 11 I lay in my bed late one night, eyes shut tight, trying to fall asleep and failing. I was unusually tense. I breathed in and out and tried to think pleasant thoughts. But every time, an image would transform into another. A lake would become an ocean storm, a rainbow would split into two giant…what were they? I opened my eyes, and I could still see them.

A Day in Nature (October 17, 2020)

Post Age 11 Published November 6, 2020 by Peri Gordon

A Day in Nature By Peri Gordon, 11 A vast meadow sprawled for miles to no end, dotted with bright yellow daffodils and the occasional red tulip. A leafy bush could be found, one of only a few on the vast plains. Out of the bush suddenly popped a small black shape. The crow burst out of the bush, made a few circles in the air, flapped his wings twice more to warm up, and then took off.

Battle of the Skies (October 10, 2020)

Post Age 11 Published November 5, 2020 by Peri Gordon

Battle of the Skies by Peri Gordon, 11 Clouds jaunted cheerily through the sky as they headed for their destination. They traveled in their various friend groups, smiling as they drifted through their lush, blue field. Some of them waved to the sun as they passed by, others were small and shy and tried not to be seen by the majestic, golden king.

Post Age 12 Published October 28, 2020 by Stephanie Anagnoson

The House I was going on a hike in the forest by myself. The skies darkened. Rain clouds appeared. Wild rain poured down. I had to turn back, but it was too dark. I wasn’t afraid. How could I be afraid? The dark deep forest. Nothing scary. Just dirt and trees. Then I saw it. There it was. A house. I walked towards it. I knocked on the door. But nobody answered. I waited and waited. Nothing.
