My Speech

Reflection: I think that I did really well trying to do my goal, (using a wider range of punctuation), but I really think I should work on the way I delivered my speech. I think I talked too fast, and really quietly. So, I'll improve on that.

Writing Goal Term 3

My Writing Goal is to have better punctuation when I'm writing. I usually use only full stops, capital letters and commas, and I'd like to get into a habit of using more than just 2 types of punctuation to make my writing more interesting to read.
Update: I have accomplished my goal, and my brand new goal is to use better language, basically making my voice louder, controlling how fast it goes, changing the pitch for certain parts, etc.

Update In Term 4: My old writing goal has been accomplished. I now use a bigger variety of punctuation, such as exclamation marks, quotation marks, etc. My new writing goal is to have better ideas, that are unique and original. My ideas are usually about the general thing I'm writing about, however I really want to get used to thinking out of the box, and really expressing my writing in a better way.

Writing Goal

I've noticed that in the Camp Thank You Letter Marian and I wrote, for each sentence we started with a noun. Really? I'm a bit disappointed in myself, since I know I could do better than that. Now I know how big of a difference there is when I use different sentence starters, since when I look on my newer pieces of writing, I see that most of my sentences start with all different types, and there's a HUGE difference. Firstly, I'll show you my Camp Thank You Letter, and below that, there will be a newer piece of writing.

The Ascension

What is the difference between the Ascension and the Resurrection?

The Resurrection is when Jesus came back to life as a human, you could touch him, talk to him, and he could talk, and he could touch others as well.

Forty days later, that's when Jesus ascended into Heaven, you couldn't touch him anymore, but you could still talk to him through prayer.

Happily, the disciples talked to Jesus after he resurrected, but they were pretty sad to see Jesus ascend into heaven.

Writing Goal

My writing goal for term 2 is to use a range of different sentence starters to make my writing more interesting and creative.
