writing

 So this week, we had to write speeches, here is a paragraph of mine.


1,400,000,000. That's a really big number, yeah? One-point-four-billion. That is how many people have a severe or underlying health condition. That number is nearly fifth of the world's population. That number is how many people are at severe risk of Covid-19 right now. 

In places more advanced, such as Europe and North America, people will not be affected by this, but in places like Central Africa, or more specifically, the Central African Republic, or C.A.R for short, citizens have a much, much, much higher risk of being born, or being diagnosed with a Health Condition later in their life, and most people don’t even realise, or care to do anything about it.

Most people in the third world die at an age lower than 60, because they are still so underdeveloped despite being over 60 years old, but in some cases, places like South Sudan, a country only 11 years old, deal with it so early in their life as a country.


Have you ever written a speech ?

Reading WS

In reading this week, we looked at persuasive texts and how... well 'presuasive' they were and how we interpreted them in our lives, the text we read was about how Robots could affect us in the future, for it we had to create a conversation, but I don't have a copy and the audio is busted, so... thats unlucky (Insert sad face)

Overall, I think this was a good thing to learn, due to the fact that we are going to do speeches later in the term and speechs to to be...well persuasive.

Have you ever convinced some one of something and changed their perspective of something?

Nicolaas' thick writing blog

Yeet, time to show y'all every single piece of writing work that I did during the lock down, this is a massive blog so if you don't really want to you can just like... skip this, I dunno, anyway, blog time, here is every single piece of writing I did over the lockdown!
This first one is about reviews/criticism and some pointers on how to do them, funky eh?


What are some tips about writing reviews you have?
The week we had to do this was just to write a poem, granted it took me a while because I can't write poems so that's not very epic.


Have you ever written a poem?

This one is a rubric, to be honest you can just skip this one it's not that interesting, just a rubric about my report on a famous New Zealander

I don't know what to ask honestly, so like... what's you're favourite NZer? I dunno just role with it.

This week, we learned more about different types of punctuation and writing rules, this one was probably my favourite to do. (Totally not because I was already well informed on these subjects)

How good are you at writing?



And finally, to finish it of, I'll write you a story! :D
Again, since this is Ctrl+C Ctrl+V'd, the font is busted, but enjoy the story!

Esther never took herself to get lost in such a short amount of time, but here she stood, the dark green forest seemed like it could extend from Norway to Mongolia, she was a long way from home, Haiti was so much nicer than being stuck in the middle of Armenia, her hard light gloves had no more energy in them, the trudge from Albania to Myanmar would be long, but she at least hoped the gloves would at least last until Pakistan, right?

"Yeah... who would have thought? nice going Esther!" She muttered to herself in a harsh whisper, apart from her knee-high boots lodging themselves the ground beneath her, the only sound she could hear was the annoying buzzing of a creature she couldn't identify.

Myanmar was the only place left on Earth that would welcome her anymore, her hard light creations could only hold up that bridge in Belarus for so long, it's not her fault! She could never prepare herself for something like this, she was only 21. The- so-called -superhero from central America, she never liked the title of a superhero, she was just a girl that enjoyed helping people with her tech, right?

Saying that in her head makes her sound like a watered-down version of Ironman.

She could tell that it was getting night, the sun had fallen to the horizon, she wondered what would be next for her, would she be spotted and handed to authorities? Maybe she would starve, or dehydrate out here, god she hated this place, forests sucked, she never liked them. Her messing up had only gotten worse over time, over four years.

First, it was in Bulgaria, then Turkey, then the Netherlands, Luxembourg... Then, what the public dubbed as, 'The Belarusian Bridge Incident', was the last straw for the governments of the world, they placed a bounty on her head, they all thought it was her intentions to fail and let hundreds of people die.

So, she marched forward, staring at the ground, getting out of Armenia, and to Myanmar would be hard but she was still optimistic... Kinda, but she still had a problem, she was still ...

lost.

Reading

So, in lock down I did some work, (I know right suprising) and I'm going to start posting it now, probably all in the same day so that's funky, a-anyway, here is the first one, and it is on Reading, from what I can remember its about reading a text and what it made me think about, you might've seen something similiar in my summarising ones, so... yeah?

funky times
From the text I've chosen, what did you make me think about?

Reading

During our reading this week, we learned how to read in between the lines or in other words, learn to make inferences, and just like any other time we do a task at school, he had to make a DLO (Digital Learning  Object) To showcase our learning from the week.
And here is mine!


Narrative Writing Rubric

Alright, lets be honest, no one is going to read this, who would want to read about some random kids writing rubric? No one, but like, I kinda have to, or the teachers will be mad, and that's not very epic.

So, here it is I guess...

no seriously if you are reading this why?
this rubric thing
