Writing



In terms 1 and 2 we have focused on Narratives and Letter writing. I am in Mr. Graham’s group for writing every Wednesday. I chose to go into Mr. Graham’s group because I think that I now only need a little bit of help and then I can go and write a great story by myself.

I think that I have improved on my writing this year. This is because I have improved on my plans a lot. I liked it when we went and wrote a paragraph and then we came back to the floor and listened to each other’s ideas. This helped me because our time was broken up and it wasn’t all in one go.

I think that I need to improve on my editing. I am finding it hard to find things to edit. This is because I think that my spelling is pretty up to scratch and so is my punctuation. I think the area I need to improve on in editing is adding things on to my story to make it better.

My most favourite story that I wrote in these terms was my letter to the council about getting a bike lane on Monsants road. I liked writing this letter because I find that I am better at writing letters than I am at writing stories. I also enjoyed writing this letter because I got to make a petition to go with my letter and I read it out at the assembly.

These are some of the writing pieces I have done this term:

Formal letter Informal letter Portal story Andy Griffith’s story Extreme adventure story
