My reading goal: Term 3, week 5

My reading goal: Term 3

In term 3 my reading goal I have to complete is: 

I can identify and evaluate the way writers use language and ideas to suit their purpose. I feel good about the way I am working towards this because I can notice different language. A used to just read and read but now I pay more attention to the different types of languages.
Here is an example:
I see the tree growing as the sun swims beneath the waves. It grows as fast as a bike at top speed. It's a plane shooting into the sky. It stops suddenly. The tree shakes the world below with a 'rumble.'...
Here are the keys:       - metaphor      - simile      - onomatopoeia      different sentences 
     - personification

All of the keys above are what and many more are what I have to spot and evaluate on from reading. I also have to put those features in my writing.

Speech reflection

Speech reflection

In the past few weeks, the Senior and Middle school and had to write a speech and present it to the teachers and if they're lucky, get chosen to take part in the finals. If they win that they go onto the next composition and if they win that they go onto the next one and so on. My speech is on the environment and it is called Is our world Sustainable? I mentioned trees being cut down, oil flowing into the sea, rubbish over flowing land fills and how we can do more to help and make our world better. Here is a photo of my cue cards.

My cue cards, 1 - 7 in order.
