...My writing progress made in Term 2…

Through out Term 2, the first topic we were focusing on is our narrative writing. It has been tough for me to learn another sort of writing. My progress has improved very well, I now understand the meaning of what narrative means.

I think what hindered me was my lack of self-management skills around my Chromebook as I can't write anything down without talking to somebody and this hinder me to write correctly.

Writing a nonfiction story was not exactly easy, I had to write a narrative that had to have at least 300 to 400 words. Although I found that difficult I still enjoyed my learning experience on how to write a narrative story.

I think I have  improved on my writing because the new app Read & Write helped me because I can hear the story before I tell Miss Simeon that I’m finish,

I also used a buddy writer and my buddy writer read my story and left comments about how I could improve my story or where I made mistakes in my story. Because my buddy writer found the mistakes I was not embarrassed however if Miss Simeon picked up my mistakes I would have felt ashamed. So my buddy writer helped me to become more confident and to write better.

I feel collaborative working with others in the classroom has helped me to write more confidently because we were all working together to come up with new ideas and to complete the task on time.

We were also producing movies so in order for them to be done we had to write scripts and check them off with Miss Simeon or Whaea Gaylene before we could film ourselves. I was really motivated to film my work. I love filming and I want to do more filming.

This term we are writing annotated reflections; like what I am doing right now. I feel like I have made a lot of progress and I feel more assured to write and to progress on my writing.
