reading timeline

When I heard the project I thought it was just any old art project and kind of overlooked it for a while kind of till November 1 which was a week after and I only had 2 weeks. Right when I saw what we were doing I got right to work. I first went to see what other people were doing for their project. I saw I had to write text inside a folded piece of paper with the book cover glued on to the paper. I decided that I wanted five book’s so I went right to a doc, put the five books on it and asked my teacher to print it out. My format in my head was 5 big book’s on 1 and half piece of paper which seemed to work out for some people which was good to know that it would not be the hardest thing to do well and I also think I looked nice. After the book cover’s were printed I went to the next step putting the cover on the piece of paper. This step in my opinion was pretty easy and did not take long because the paper was already cut for us. After I had the books I simply wrote the text inside the book because I think with the format I did it looks nice, and that was pretty much my reading timeline 

My experience picking my feature article

This is my second day drafting feature articles and I think it is really cool. The topic’s that I came up with are Madden one, the NFL, two and beaver creek three. MY favorite is Madden out of all the three by far. I like Madden the most because it is A video game which I really like. It is about football, which is one of my favorite sports to watch and play. I did say I really like football but madden I know a lot about and the difference is the NFL is just football but madden is football and a video game.

Personal Narrative reflection

This was my first writing unit and it was amazing. It was definitely the best personal narrative I have ever made. My personal narrative was about me about three years ago when I went water skiing for the first time in camp.

Before I picked the story about water skiing I was really torn between two of my drafts. One was the water skiing one which is the one which I chose and a story about me skiing in the rocky mountains of  Vail and Beaver Creek. The reason I picked the water skiing one over the other one was because when I was writing the skiing draft I thought to myself would a reader find this story interesting because in skiing there is not much talk so it was mostly internal thinking which is good but should not be all of your story basically so I went with the water skiing one and I definitely do not regret it. 

I think one of the thing’s I improved from last year was probably my spelling and my punctuation. It was terrible last year. 25 percent of my words were misspelled which is really not good. Think about it. ¼ of your word’s had A red line under it. But that was last year, this is a new year and I definitely changed. There were only about fifteen words misspelled when I went back to edit the passage.

I just named the thing’s I improved in but not yet my strength’s. I think I always had a lot of writing stem especially   when I am typing which is very good in my opinion because if I didn’t have a good writing stem then it would take a long time to write the story or narrative which would not be good. I think I’m also good at telling which part of the story is most important and what part’s should make the story or not.  

 

Small moment

This is my small moment narrative.I chose to write about skiing because I love to ski.  One of my lessons was to write stories and pick a seed we would like to draft. Another lesson was to write your story in a storytellers voice and not a reporters voice. Dialogue is a very important part of a story. If you have dialogue it will be fun to read your book to learn about your characters. Paragraphs are very important too, if you don’t use them it will be very confusing to read. Those were some of the lessons I learned. Read my story. I think you will like it a lot.
