My+writing

My writing During term 1 I was in Mr. Graham writing group, we wrote our Andy Griffiths story. We focused on putting heaps of descriptive words in our story. They did a plan on the board to shows us how to set it out properly, then they sent us of to do it our self, Mine was about hide and seek, and then Miss S gave us a editing card to edit our story.



In term 2 we started learning about formal letters and informal letters. The first won we did was an informal letter; we pretended to write it from the war, it was hard trying to write it like you were in the war, when I wrote up my story I had to edit a lot of things and fix up a lots of comers and full stops. We had to write another letter to a company either complaining or saying something nice about something they make. Iwrote mine to G.T bicycles complaining about the bike that I had purchased.



In term1 and 2 we wrote a portal story. The first story for grade six was a portal story. I had a little bit of trouble thinking of an idea and setting the plan out. I didn’t know how to edit my work properly then, so it wasn’t a good story.Then in term 2 we did another one to compare to the other, it was much better,I used much more descriptive words and wrote better sentences. When I edited my story I changed lots of my sentences that didn't sound write or interesting.



This year I’ve learnt how to do a proper plan. First is the intro, that has who, where, why and the characters, then there’s the middle, it has got the problem in it, every paragraph has to have flesh on it, the conclusion has the solution for the problem or where you finish your story off.
