2014 Term 3 Writing

2014 Term 3 Writing

We are learning to:

write a description

use an iPad or Mac laptop to publish our writing

read our writing in a clear voice in front of an audience

We can do this when we can:

use interesting words, write sentences that make sense, use describing words and edit and read our work.

Teacher Comment:

You have used some good describing words. Your next step is to add more to your writing.

I like the way you story created a picture in my mind.
