Hello Blogger,

This week for reading my goal was  to use knowledge from text to combine with new ideas (own and others) to come up with new thinking, and make connections between other texts and general knowledge to expand meaning and pose questions, using more sophisticated texts. We learnd about fake facts and what they can do to us. We also learnd how to check if something is real or fake. For the create task we had to make a google drawing about how to see if something is real or fake. This is my one, hope you ejnoy.

The reason behind a Biography

Welcome back to my blog.

This week my goal for writing was use language this is appropriate to the topic and purpose. First we looked at the purpose of different types of writing. Some examples are 

Argue - to make a statement 

Biography - to inform people about someone

Some language features you should use in a Biography are : Only facts, No imagination, Nouns and it is written in past tense. The create task was to name the purpose of a Biography and grab a paragraph form our biographies and show what language features we used in them. We also had to say why we used them. Here is mine hope you enjoy. 

I used Nouns because the are really effective when I'm trying to explain my person and where she was born. 

The reason I used facts about my person is because you can not lie or make up facts in a Biography. 

I wrote my Biography in past tense because I can not predict things in the future and this stuff has already happened. 

What's you favourite type of Writing?
