Why I Need To Write Better

I need to write way better. None of my pieces have been really good. I feel like all of my pieces can be a lot better. I think if I were to write some more on a different piece, something that I feel more into from the beginning, I’ll end up with a way better piece. I think that if I use show don’t tell some more, my post will be a lot better. I think that I could really do a lot more with the piece that is later in the post. I don’t know what, but I think the idea is good.

For Example, here is one of my unfinished pieces:

My name is Retman. I’m a three month old ant. I’m part of the massive ant hole called Visofgar. I live with my family, I have a Mom, Dad and a brother, Hullinger, he’s six months old. My Mom is one and three months old, and my Dad is one and four months old. The main thing that my species has been in a struggle with is humans. I mean, just last week, my friend Bews was going to the playground and never came back. Never! They can’t just be stepping on us and killing us. But, luckily for me, I have a special feature that no one else has. I’m invincible. No one can stop me, not even those nasty humans with those big feet of theirs. Seriously, if you look on the bottom of one of those shoes, you’ll see half of my family.

My mom doesn’t believe me when I tell her that I am invincible. But she doesn’t know. She doesn’t know how I know that I’m invisible. I was walking to the balloon store with my friend Regrel. And there was this guy who came to us and he stepped right on top of us. Regrel died, but I survived it without anything happening to me. I was right there, under his foot. I felt the shadow but I was completely fine.

 

There is a big rumbling above our hole and when I poke my head out, I see thousands upon thousands of feet and legs. And when I look up, I see a foot coming down on top of me. I duck but I’m too late. The human stepped on me, I could feel the shadow again. When you feel a shadow, it feels really tingly and it gets dark out of nowhere.

 

 

Who The Heck Are You? (While In Progress)

Right now in Humanities we are working on a project called Who the Heck Are You? It is a project that is based off of an interview. When we were selecting our interviewees, I picked 5 people that I wanted to interview. I decided on Doug because I don’t know that much about him and I wanted to learn more about him. We then came up with possible questions to ask our person. Our questions had to have follow-up questions to the real ones. We couldn’t have concrete questions as the original questions because then we wouldn’t get good enough answers. We could have them as follow ups though. We could do that so then we could move on to the next question. The whole interview had to have a theme like childhood or fantasy world. I think that this will be a really fun project and that I will be able to learn a lot of cool things from Who The Heck Are You?

Hajj Map

My hajj map was a reallly fun piece of work to complete. It was really cool because I could really show so much about myself in a piece of schoolwork. I think that I could’ve been more gracious with my use of materials. I think that the blue marker for the water could be a little neater, but all in all, it was really fun/interesting/cool/awesome.

School Stuff In French

A l’école, j’étudie beaucoup. Je parle dans une salle de classe. Je quitte l’école 3:15 heures. Je écoute la prof. A l’école, je mange le déjeuner. Je regarde les profs. A l’école, j’aime les maths parce que c’est amusant. J’aime le français parce que c’est facile. J’aime les sciences naturelles parce que c’est difficile. Je n’aime pas la pizza et les sloppy joes.

 

This is my writing about school. I liked when it was over because I felt accomplished,
