Something I did well was: asking questions to under stand better. 

Next steps: I need to ask even better questions to get more information from text. 

Term 4 writing.

Today you are being asked to look back over your writing this term and choose your favourite example.  You will need to say why it is your favourite in one of the boxes below.  You will also need to show that you have responded to a comment from the teacher by changing (improving) something in your writing.

Copy and paste or type your chosen example in this box below.

Cross country It was an early sunny morning and suddenly I remembered that it was the day of  cross country.I got out of bed and felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. As I finally got to school,I was so nervous. Mr Wallace shouted out my age group. We jogged to the back of the hall.  I was anxiously waiting...bang! The calpers went I blasted from the start gate. The back of  the field was so slippery and  murky. I Felt  like I was going to slip on my back .  My heart was beating like it was about to come out.  I was coming second then I started to come fifth.We had to run two laps around the field I could hear the sound of footsteps pattering on the ground. Finally I saw the start line I sprinted to the finish as fast as my legs could carry me.  I came fifth. After that I watched the 8 year old girls race. Bang!There goes another bang, I'm glad my race is over.

I chose this example because:

I chose this story because it has lots of description in it.

Comment from the teacher:

Your sentences are good. They are different lengths which make them interesting to read. You have used some really good words too to add information.  You have missed two full stops ( and capitals after them) and one capital in the middle of a sentence. Can you find them?

How I used the information in this comment to improve my writing:

I found them.

What I need to work on now to improve my writing:

I need to put speech marks in more often.

Persuasive flag writing

WALA: persuasive writing- how it is organised and what language is used to persuade someone.

Next step: use the Internet, books or ask an expert to find more information to help me persuade the reader.

I believe and know that we should keep the NZ flag because it will cost us money if we change it, it doesn't  matter what pattern it is ,the NZ  flag stands out. Others must agree that it will be better to spend money on something that is more important such as clothes, footwear, and families with not much money. Clearly the pattern on the flag looks good how it is and everyone knows what it looks like. It is true that the NZ flag looks okay how it is. Without a doubt I know that we should keep the NZ flag and save our money.

Responsibility

One day I went to Waihi I went to my casino  house. When I got back I got  a guineapig off them . We drove all the way home. When I got home I gave them food and water. I was responsible for them. We named them Bob and Bruce. Every day I had to move them because they chomped down the grass. We were going to buy a pen for them but then we remembered that my friend had had a pen. They didn't need it any more. We painted it green and yellow.
