He was 13 years old when he climbed the tallest mountain on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the writing skills and vocabulary you acquired during your Everest and Alex Honnold writing tasks at the start of our Home Learning will be able to be transferred to this writing unit, which will help you all!<\/p>\n<p>Click on the YouTube link below\u00a0 OR\u00a0 Copy and paste this YouTube link below into Google, and then when it comes up, press \u2018Skip Ad\u2019 in the bottom right of the video. Then, watch the ABC American News Broadcast (8:36 in length).The news report will give you a good background on Jordan and it will show you real film footage from his ascent of Everest. In the film, from 4:45 to 5:06, this footage of the ice falling is written about in the prologue that he wrote in the book \u2013 we are looking at this prologue in our writing for this week, so you really get a \u2018sense\u2019 in the film of the seriousness of the situation and the suspense.

Use evidence from the two sentences to support your opinion.<\/p>\n<p>8.The extract above is written with the idea of the \u2018Power of Three\u2019 to really drill home the idea of suspense in the writing \u2013 three sentences in a row to build the tension, one after the other. Does he do a good job? If so, how does he? If he does not, what are the sentences lacking?<\/p>\n<p>9.Now, you have a go at re-writing the three sentences in bold from above. Change the words slightly but keep the overall meaning and IMPACT the same.<\/p>\n<p>10.Now, have a go at writing what you think the next three sentences should be that follow the three sentences above. For these next three sentences, keep the tension high! THINK \u2013 how could you keep building this tension? What else could you be looking at or thinking about? THINK about your senses if in doubt\u2026Just because they are tension-filled, it does not mean you have to ONLY have short sentences. Tension can be built with longer sentences too, as long as you get in some specific description and really consider what it is you are observing.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>11.\u2018I took one step, then another.
