Bella's Fears - Podcasts

The boys in Mrs Geraghty's class were asked to imagine they were Bella (from a story they read) who had wandered into the forest by accident in her quest to find the tastiest wild mushrooms. Her grandparents had specifically asked her to stay away from the forest as there were bears there. The boys were told that they were to be Bella just after she looked up and realized that she was lost and to write a paragraph describing how they (as Bella) felt. David Grealis and Kasjan Derewianyk both did an excellent job on this assignment and their paragraphs are presented here as podcasts. Enjoy.
