Kia ora my amazing readers,
Room 9 have been learning to fix punctuation like capitals going at the start of a sentence, repeated words and spelling. The reason we are learning about surface features is because Mrs T wants us to improve our story's by fixing our spelling, p and repeated words An example is ;thissentsaChulymakessen Zbuttisrellyhrd to read, This is what you call a surface feature.
On our Room 9 writing site our teacher put on a link to a story we needed to fix. We made our on copy. We had to read it once and find the end of the sentence.
Reading 1
Find the ends of the sentences.
To do this:
Look for each time a person or thing is mentioned again.
Look for when a new piece of information is given.
Think about where you pause to make sense of what you are reading.
Reading 2
Highlight the most repeated word.
Can you fix it?
Reading 3
Does this feel easier to read now?
How many sentences start the same way?
He kept absolutely still as the footsteps got louder he tried not to suffocate as he laid under the bed he was wondering what had happened to his brother and his family. The man with the knife in his hand stormed around the house. Mum's had boyfriends before but we had not thought that they would ever find us maybe he was one of them looking for revenge but why would he come. mum would just move and how did he find us we live on the other side of the planet from where all of mum's boyfriends were so how could he find us he might have put a tracker on mum when he last saw her or on one of the devices ‘Hello where are you I know your here you're going to tell me where you're mother is or you shall join your father... in the skies so which will it be death or freedom you have 10 seconds chose wisely’.
Some of these haven't got punctuation and some of them aren't spelled correctly because I wasn't here yesterday and didn't have enough time to finish it today.
