my writing steps

Hello readers

Today In class had to look at our term four writing

Punctuation: I have used capital letters and full stops in the correct places and I am trying to use other punctuation like commas, question marks and exclamation marks , have used speech marks to show someone is talking but I have a few mistakes.

My next step: Use commas to show clauses (different parts of a sentence Add punctuation to create mood and show greater detail to hook my readers in.

Vocab: I use words that give the reader detailed and specific information

• Adjectives

• Precise nouns and verbs

• Similes

• Metaphors

• Alliteration

• Topic Words

Next step: Use words and phrases that grab the reader’s attention and interest.

Organisation : My ideas are in order I understand what I am writing about, but I have not used many ideas or sentences.

next step: I need to start sequencing my ideas correctly in paragraphs.

Sentence Structure: Some of my sentences tell the reader what I want them to know

and

Some of my sentences are long, and some of my sentences are short.

Snow Day

Hello readers

Today I had to write a story about this picture.

There was a nice dark blue sky in between two beautiful tree. The trees were dark black with small branches and with no leaves. Next to the big tall trees I see I more bigger tree with no leaves again there was a little chimney from a little house with smoke coming out of it. The little house was made out of wood and there was lots of snow of the roof. There was lots of snow of the ground with little bushes with no leaves. Next to the house there was a boy.

The boy looked like a teenager. He was wearing a hoodie with Santa clauses face on it. He was wearing dark blue jeans and he was wearing black boots. He had a black beanie on his head and yellow and blue scarf. He was sitting on a log and playing a guitar. It sounded like he was playing a Christmas song. 

Suddenly the little house next to him was falling apart. When it fell down the boy went on his knee and  was shocked and then he went all teary and said "That was the only house I had what do I do now". He layed down on the snow and he cried.

I walked up to him and helped him up. Then I told him "you can live with me I have no problem with that" The he said "really thanks" He wiped his tears and walked with me so we could go to my house. Happily ever after the end.

Is it important to learn about business and enterprise at school????

 Hello readers

Today I am going to tell if I think it is important to learn about business and enterprise at school. I think it is important because if one day you dont learn about these things then maybe you will do the wrong thing with your money and spend it on stuff you want and not what you need.

For example like you had to pay the rent or something and you have enough money but you go and buy something at store and for example like a play station and it was over 500 dollar and you buy it then you dont have enough for your rent then you would maybe not have a house. We should learn this so you don't overspend your money and you spend on the right thing like the things you need and not things you want.

Today I had to read a book In my Chromebook. The book was called Women's Suffrage. I even had to answer some questions.

Here are the questions:

2. Why did most people think women should not vote? they believed that women needed to stay home, cook, keep the house clean and take care of their child.

3. What does the phrase "drinking their wages'' mean? I think that means men's drinking alcohol with all the coins they have.

4. How did the WCTU help the poor? They went to hospitals and set up a soup kitchens.

200 word challenge

Hello readers

 Today In school We had to read a book for 10 minute but when the timer started, it was snowing outside of your classroom. The snow was going really fast. Our teacher let us go outside for a shot while in the snow. When I went outside I could feel in my hand that the snow was falling and my hair had snow all in it. It was after so many years it could finally snow. I really liked going outside in the snow and running around. I even saw some of my friends enjoying the snow. They were running around. It started snowing even more. But after a few minutes the teacher called us into the class and we had to read a book. When we went inside the class I looked outside and the snow was getting bigger and faster. There was so much more snow than there was when I was outside. I really enjoyed the snow. It was really fun outside in the snow. Maybe another day the snow will come again and I will enjoy it more than I did today. Today was the best day ever and it's even my favourite season. The end

I really hope you enjoyed my blog Goodbye.
