To come up with my idea I first listed a bunch of hobbies, sports, things I’ve studied before and collections I have. Then I picked the one I knew about best. I picked Heathcote traditions. I picked Heathcote traditions because I go to Heathcote Elementary school and I love it and all of its traditions. I have been in Heathcote for about four years so I knew a lot about it and all of it’s yearly traditions

I felt that editing was a bit difficult for me because whenever I thought I was done I always had to go back and edit somehow and change things. For instance, one time I thought I was completely done but I had to go back and edit my glossary, I had to link it, I had to make my colons dashes because my table of contents had dashes and I had to keep it consistent.

The part I needed the most help with was reading it over and checking it because sometimes when I’ve been staring at one piece of writing for a long time if there is something wrong I probably won’t notice it when or if I look over it, if there was a period missing I wouldn’t notice it at all and if nobody checked it I would end up publishing it with a bunch of mistakes.

My favorite part of making my expert book was searching for pictures because I got to get really creative with which pictures I could use and what captions to put with them. I got to edit the size and what I wanted to write inside the caption that would match which was really creative and fun for me.

I learned during this process that nothing is ever perfect. Nothing that I was writing would ever be perfect but that’s a good thing because nobody is perfect so I started to realize not to try to make everything perfect because it never will be and I’m trying my best and nothing will change that.

I learned that I like editing with google slides on the computer because I liked getting faster and better at typing, and I liked seeing what I wrote in my writer’s notebook come to life with pictures and everything on the big screen which was really cool and made it exciting for me.

I feel that my final project turned out amazing because looking back at what I wrote in my writer’s notebook and then looking at what it turned out to be was a pretty big difference and I worked really hard to make it as amazing as it is and I’m really proud of that.

This is my expert book.

Thank you for reading!
