Homework Witing

This is me goul from last term is attempt complex punctuation (e.g. possessive apostrophes, commas for clauses, clauses, semicolons, colons, ellipses).

WALT: Entertain
Description: We read the poem “My Remarkable Journey” which inspired us to write our own

"Arrrggghhhh" I jumped out of bed screaming "I'm late for school".  I have to quickly get ready and be out the door I think I've got about ten minutes until I have to be in class. Thankfully it's only around the corner and up the road and I'm there. As I'm on my way I get splashed with mud by a big truck that whizzes past me. Great, first I'm running late then I'm drenched in watery mud. It's too late to go home and change so hopefully I dry out quickly. 

On I go with a bit quicker pace as time is ticking. I hear a dog bark behind me, It sounds angry and ferocious. I start walking faster and faster until I break into a run. I look behind me and all that is following me is a little chihuahua with very sharp razor like teeth. I got such a fright I dropped my homework, the pages fluttered on to the footpath and that loud little dog sat down on them, leaving muddy footprints as he did so. Quickly thinking, I took half my sandwhich out of my  lunchbox and threw it down the road. The dogs eyes widened and began to drool he scuttled off my work and chased my sandwhich. I hope he enjoys last nights spaghetti bolognaise I thought as I picked up the paper and sprinted onward toward school.

As I passed the stream that snakes it's way through the streets near my school I was focused only on getting to my class,  when my homework was plucked from my hand by a large angry duck that came swooping out of nowhere. I looked up and watched it fly up the stream and land on a large nest that it seemed to be building. I saw the duck rip the paper with its sharp bill and begin to weave it into the nest. Unbelievable really but all this happened within 10 minutes and now I really am late for school. I'm muddy, wet, late and have no homework. 

I walked into my class, there was silence. I'm never late for school and the sight out me caused a ripple of giggles from my friends. My teacher told me to sit down and get my homework out. Ooops would she believe me if I said I forgot it? She said tell the truth Charlotte and all I could say was you are never going to believe this but......

Criteria:

Introduction: It hooks the reader in the first few lines making them want to read more Punctuation: Is your writing ready for a reader? Does your punctuation make it easy for them to read?

Short sentences: Do you create suspense by using these in your writing? Onomatopoeia: Are these in your writing to create impact?
Alliteration: Are these in your writing to create impact? Similes/Metaphors: Are these in your writing to create impact?

Evaluation:

1. What do you think is the best part of your story? My discription in the dog and I found that sentinis really funny .
2. What was the hardest part about completing this portfolio sample?the writing part because it took me a long time to just think of the start.

Te Reo Presentation

WALT: communicate a message.

Description: We have been participating in 3 different workshops around colour, compositions and fonts. We put these skills to use in a poster sharing our knowledge about Te Reo Maori.
Why? We have noticed that our posters are too cluttered and do not communicate a message well.

Task: Make a poster about Te Reo Maori.

Criteria:
Message: My message is clear and purposeful. Everything that is on my poster relates to my message.

Composition: My poster is balanced.
Font: My font is clear, readable and suits the message.

Colour: I have used 2-3 colours that are complementary. My background choice makes the text pop!

Accuracy: All of the words on my poster are spelt correctly. Evaluation:

1. What are you most proud of and why? I am most proud of the words and thanks to the tests we're have been doing in class I knew most of the Māori words and what they mean in English .

2. What challenged you the most and why? The biggest challenged was the colour and the set out because the colours could clash but I think we did a really good job with sorting all of it out.

3. Next time, what is a goal you can work towards? Well there is always room for improvement but one of my goals  for next time would be working better with my partner because we where fighting a bit and we didn't really need to fight about the stuff we did fight about.

  I did a yellow target because we did fight and at the end we were rushed to finish.

Feedback/Feedforward   

I like your poster Charlotte but I think you could have make the whole word "Māori" bold instead of just the M and remember when you write the word Māori to remember the macron above the word. And the other words that have macrons in them. I really like the variety of colours you used in your poster it really makes the words stand out on the page. I like how you have made a word pop out of the page like literally on the side and I also like the little drawing you or Inara put by the words Te Reo. - Grace C AKA The Awesome One!!
