Term 4 Written Language
WALT write a character description of a person we know very well.
We know we have achieved this when we …
-
have written about the person’s
physical appearance (the way they look).
-
have written about the person’s
behaviour (how they speak or act).
-
have written about how they
affect other people (what do they do to make you notice them).
-
have written about the person’s
environment and belongings.
-
used descriptive words to make
a picture in the mind of the reader
Mum has long brown
hair, blue sparkly eyes and a grey smooth shiny necklace. Her name is Wendy.
She is quite tall. She has long brown hair and blue sparkly eyes. She also has
a brown-green necklace. She has white smooth skin. She carries me to bed every
day. She gives me a kiss and I like it. She likes pretty clothes and pretty
hats. She has plants in her garden and I like to eat the strawberries.
You have tried to use some good descriptive
words in your writing and tried to create a picture in the mind of the reader.
1.
Before conferencing with the
teacher, you need to do some editing and check your work so you do not miss out
any words that you need and also to make sure your story makes sense.
2.
Try to change the lengths of
some sentences by using some conjunctions (joining words) and begin your
sentences in different ways.
3.
