__Oliver’s narrative__ There i stood with the ball in my hand my hair swaying from side to side waiting for my name to be called for the rugby world cup 2011.I could just imagine him calling me,Oliver Norris, to be in the starting line up for the mighty all blacks.10 minutes later... he starts calling the names out, he gets to the 13th player then says Kata Brill, Kata jumps up in happiness then the 14th ,he says Kyle Hamilton, as soon as he gets to the 15th player he stops, his bottom lip drops like a 50 kg weight was just sitting on it, my bones were tingling my skin was shaking, i couldn’t wait any longer i had to know and i had to know now.He calls the name i hear Jacob Norris my brothers name get called out. Disappointment was in my head when his name was called and not mine i felt like running away and crying but i had to stay strong. The next day...I woke up and had my usual breakfast two weetbix a piece of toast and a glass of orange juice.I gulped it all down and went to get dressed i walked up three steps i hear the phone ring i span around as fast as i could then sprinted of past the bowl,plate and glass from my breakfast. My adrenaline was rushing my heart was pounding against my chest,I thought this would be the call that one of the all blacks were injured and i could be called in,i pick the phone up and say “hello oliver speaking” i hear hello oliver its your mum how are you i hang up the and walked away depressed i thought there would be no chance for me to get in the all blacks. As i turn the t.v on the coach of the all blacks Graham henry is speaking on t.v saying that Kata Brill was playing touch the day before and broke his ankle and wont be able to play for the rest of the season and they need a new centre to play for them, and if any one was interested in playing, call him on 02786250 i. my eyes opened as wide as they could open my head tingled with excitement i could feel my veins pumping blood as fast as its ever been before.I sprinted to the phone knocking over all my plates and cups from breakfast they smashed on to the floor,i didn’t care i just wanted it to be me in the All bLacks not any one else.

**My Learning Targets!**

**My next step is: Describe the characters - personalities/looks etc. Setting the scene - what does it look like feel like etc? use your senses!! Put the reader in the story**

**I will achieve this by: By using language resources and creating an image in the readers head.**

**Date achieved/signed: Miss Stovold**

To write your own narrative I have attached some worksheets that you will need to put into your own wiki. Don't forget this is the structure of a narrative and helps make it interesting!!
