Analysis

What I like about the cover of the book Willbee the Bumblebee is that it has pictures because for children to see what the characters are doing. Also for children to look and learn about the story. I think that they have used all those pictures, colours and text because children who read it might get interested and imagine if it was a movie.

What is Writing?

All About Writing

By Juleana Nacion

Writing is all about putting ideas into sentences and talking about what you did, when you did it, who you did it with, how you do it, and why you did it.These things help you explain your writing.

You can do it in a writing book, on a whiteboard, or if you have a google account, you can do it in docs. Writing can be about your favourite movie/book character, write about anything in your imagination. You can also draw a picture above your writing or below. When you are writing in a book, use a pen. But when you’re drawing, use a pencil.

To make a very descriptive and accurate writing, you add adjectives. These little fellas are important to add. Adjectives are about making boring words into great words. For example, you could describe the word “good” like this: fantastically good, and that’s how you do it! Isn’t it wonderful!

There’s another thing that’s also important.Full stops and capitals. At the start of each sentence, there is always a capital! No capital is a stupendous fail.The last thing is the full stop.The full stop is always at the end of a sentence. If you can’t find one at the end of a sentence, you are a big failure.You should never forget these things.

The last thing is to stay calm and focused so you can finish straight away. If you make a mistake, don’t panic!

I love writing!
