Writing T4

Tuesday: Audience: school staff. principal. peers

Model text:Should the senior school and junior school be separated during play?

To answer a question like that, we need to look at the logistics of the environment. What I mean by this, is to look at the space we need to occupy. Senior school as you can imagine are much larger in stature to the junior school. This needs to be considered because if the senior school are playing in the playground and then the junior school also want to, they may very well be trampled during play. We must consider the safety of even our smallest student.

Monday: Write a narrative or recount of your trip to Vector Wero Kayaking on Friday.

Model text: Splash!! Whoa I did not expect the water to be that deep. When Mrs C told us we were kayaking on Friday, I had a big flutter of butterflies in my stomach. (This paragraph focuses on emotions.)

I was excited but so scared.

The butterflies were still there because of what happened last year, yes, that's right, I tipped over, panicked and had to be rescued. How embarrassing. (Now I am elaborating on why I feel those emotions by giving more details.)

Tuesday:

Refer to your writing prompt sheet. Think about the WALT as you go.

Monday: our purpose is to narrate about a social media disaster that happened to us.

Model text: Dear diary

The shame, the infamy, the treachery.

How could she have allowed this to happen? I trusted her.

I made the mistake of denigrating the new girl to my BFF. Now our chat is all over the internet! I didn't even mean what I said; I think I just said it so that my BFF would think that I am savvy. How do I face the school?
