My next steps in writing

Today in class we had a look at our scores from our writing test and then we had to look at a rubric with next steps for our stage we were at, we had to write the next steps on our blog.

For Ideas I can I have lots of ideas that connect to the topic with some extra information ,  Or One of my ideas links to the topic and has lots of information,or  Some of my ideas show complexity ( Have extra information,detail or facts that explain my thinking).

My next steps for ideas are Make my ideas original, So the reader can connect with them, Add extra information,detail or facts that explain my writing.

For Structure I can  make most of my writing match the text type or purpose.

My next steps for structure is  to try to match all parts of my writing to the text type.

For Organisation My Ideas are organised in basic paragraphs my Ideas flow but they dont have information to support them.

For Organisation my next steps are  to Link together sentences that match what is happening in my writing, Make heading visible for the reader.

For Punctuation I have used capital letters and full stops in the correct places and I am trying to use other punctuation like commas,questions marks and exclamation marks. 

My next steps for Punctuation is to use commas to show different parts of a sentence and add punctuation to create a mood and show better detail to make the readers want to read it. 

For vocabulary I can use lots of the words that I use when I talk or I am begging to use words that give the reader detailed information.

My next steps for vocabulary Try to keep the reader interested in what I am writing.

For sentence structure I can some of my sentences tell the reader what I want them to know. Some of my sentences are long,and some of my sentences are short.

For sentence structure my next steps are to make sure I choose the right sentence to show the reader what I want them to know , 

 Snowy Day

Today in class we got given a picture to write about we had to start by looking at the top left corner and write about what it was and make sure it was descriptive, Then we wrote about what it was in the top right corner and then we had to add what we saw in the bottom part of the picture. We had to add in a character I chose to add a dog to my story. Then we had to add what our character was doing. We also had to add a problem and then how the problem got fixed.

On a nice  night  it started snowing and it was landing in the trees. The house roof and windows got covered in the snow, The snow was still landing in the trees. There is another little house behind that looks like it is completely covered with snow. The snow was setting on the ground and all threw out the trees there was lots of snow. There was a dog stuck outside in the snow it was crying and shivering it must of been extremely cold.

The dog was a golden retriever her name was Ellie. She was an extremely careful dog she never hurt anyone. She was trying to get out of the snow that just randomly fell out of the sky that she did not notice was going to happen. She was moving backwards and forwards and side to side but she could not get out at all.

The  problem is that Ellie is stuck in the snow and can get out. She has tried by moving in different directions. She started yelping and barking to try to get her owners attention but she thinks that they could be asleep. The snow was freezing her little paws she could barley feel them they were going numb from all of the coldness.

The neighbour heard the dog barking and went outside to find out what was wrong, He saw the dog stuck in the snow.   He ran across the slippery snow nearly falling over a few times when he go there he lifted Ellie out of the snow and went on knocked on the door at her house they did not answer you could hear them snoring really loud. So he decided to take the dog to his house and he had the fire lit so she layed in front of it and went to sleep when she woke up  in the morning she returned back to her house.

Persuasive Writing about the Importance of Business and enterprise in school

 Persuasive Writing about the Importance of Business and enterprise in school

Today in class we had to write a 4-5 paragraph Blogpost about why it is important to learn about business and enterprise in school.

I think that in school it is good to learn about business and enterprise. Because then you know what to do with your job in the future. If you learn business and enterprise in school it can very helpful for your job and then you will know what you are doing in your job. For when you are working with money or are owning a business.

                                                                                                                 If you have  a market day or when  you are older and have a job or own a business, it can be useful so that you know what you are doing. If you need to do something with money then when you are doing the enterprise you will figure out what to you do with  the money. 

An example is if you have to share out the money with others or if you have to give change back then learning about business and enterprise can help because if you are not good with money or dont know how to count it or something like that then it can be helpful because you might learn about how to count it. It can also be good for when you are doing creating a business so that you know what you are doing. 

                         

This is why I believe that it is good to learn about Business and enterprise in school. Because it can help you when doing a business.
