We have being using  a program called Pobble 365 to help motivate us to write. This is what Tom wrote after looking at a picture of an old railroad track.

Once upon a time there was an old abandoned, rusty railroad. A tree grew magically through it. It was a deep, dark forest. A tiger was running away from his home. He saw the magic tree, the tiger tried to knock it. He got shot in the butt by a hunter!
