"Don't touch the bottles!" shouted Oceane.

You found these bottles when you were scuba diving off the boat.  They were on a ship that was shipwrecked in a violent storm.  Oceane reached out to stop you touching them but it was too late...

Write a story including the glass bottles.

You must included in your story:
- people (you and Oceane)
- a place
- a problem
- a panic
- a peaceful ending


Ideas:

  • Do the bottles take you somewhere?
  • Do the bottles make something happen in the ocean?
  • Do the bottles make something happen to the creatures in the ocean?
  • Do you have to sort out whatever has happened because you touched them?
Choice words:
When  If After While
Despite Although Whenever? !

Not only that but
Surely
