Writing

=** Writing​ **= During term 1 and term 2 I have been writing a few different types of writing. They are formal, informal narratives and letters. Before we start to write the story or letter though we write a plan. In the plan there is an intro where we write about the characters and the setting. In the middle we have three lines for three paragraphs. On the three lines we have about three branches coming off them about the paragraph to help with more information. To finish off we write a conclusion of the story. In a letter it is mostly the same. I didn't know how to set out a plan like this before. It has improved rapidly on my writing

For the editing, Miss S and us composed a card. On the card it has all the steps of editing. I found that the card has helped with my editing heaps and also made my story better by using more interesting words and also adding to sentences to make the whole sentence interesting.

By doing the writing it has improved my handwriting as well. It has helped me to understand my own writing as some words were impossible to read. My handwriting has also helped with neatening up my projects.

This is Miss S’s “Plan Man”:

This is my Portal Story:



My Portal Story has been great because I read a few fantasy books and I finally got to write one of my own. The plan really helped with this story as well because I had improved with that as well.

This is my Andy Griffiths story:



These stories were adventure stories we had to write about that had happened in our own house. These stories were fiction. This one was fun because you could make it up about whatever you wanted and they are funny. (I don’t really want to dig the deepest hole.)

Here is my formal letter to Smiths:



I enjoyed doing this letter because I may have invented a chip flavour. I can’t wait till we send the letters off.

Here is my Soldier letter (informal):



We had to write a letter to our family or friends from Gallipoli in World War 1. You could choose to be a soldier or a nurse. I was a soldier because I thought that I would be able to write more from a soldiers point of view because I don’t really know much about medicines. ​
