On Thursday and Friday, you will be given a repeat of the Beginning of Year writing assessment. You will have two sessions to pencil and paper your answer to one of these questions:
Write a narrative about what you like to do in your spare time
or
Write a narrative about what makes you special
You may think about ideas for these questions over the next couple of days. You will only be allowed to do your writing in class, but you can bring in ideas of what you what to write about.

Can we bring in some tips for writing narratives?
ReplyDeleteis a narrative basically just a essay that answers a question(i wasn't here at the beginning of the year)
ReplyDeleteno carter
ReplyDeletea narative is basicly a short, realistic story.
Mr. Buxton -
ReplyDeleteYou never had the chance to check my thesis and I forgot to put it on the blog last night. Is this okay(?):
The location of the Raffles Statue is directly symbolic of the contributions of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles to Singapore’s growth as a nation.
Carter -
Narrative: a true story/account of events or experiences
narratives are boring! can we make something like "once upon a time there was a girl named sabine and what she liked to do in spare time is..."
ReplyDeletePeople who think things are boring are only boring themselves
ReplyDelete- Quote by: My dad
and all the people in my social studies group please go to the goggle docs
so a narrative is just like a short story about whatever eg. what i do in my spare time
ReplyDeleteCarter: Yup... but narratives are not fantasy
ReplyDeleteNarrative: writing a story (Realistic Fiction)
ReplyDeletePersonal Narrative: Based on your life but fiction
Essay: True Story information etc.
thnx guys:D
ReplyDelete'precise' adj needed before location
ReplyDeleteof of to - needs rewording
make whatever you did in your spare time into an interesting story
if you begin with that Sabine...yes... it will be !
Unknown is Mr.Buxton right? Are you on your ipad????
ReplyDeleteyes han unknown is mr. b
ReplyDeleteIs the singular possessive of Raffles Raffles' or Raffle's? His last name ends with an 's' so I got confused!
ReplyDeletewell of course that's easy to guess mr buxton was on his i pad yesterday and it did the same thing. Rachel that's a good point... but i still think chinese is boring you can't change that.
ReplyDeleteMaddy- I think it is Raffles's
ReplyDeleteI know it isn't because on both Google Docs and Word they underlined it with red... When I did spell suggestions those two were the most probable answers.
ReplyDeletecan one person for my social studies group print out the script cuz my internet is going to slow the get to google docs on my other computer...
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely what Han said- his name isn't Sir Stamford Raffle, it is Sir Stamford Raffles.
ReplyDeleteCamille- you mean a salient point.
ReplyDeleteNo! District 2 against District 2 in the Vocabulary Games! They are planning a Poison-Berry Act. Any ideas?

ReplyDeletenever mind anisha i found a way to print it
ReplyDeleteMr. Buxton- Is this a good thesis statement?
ReplyDeleteBecause Sir Stamford Raffles chose to keep the area for The Padang, there have been many events significant to Singapore history.

ReplyDeleteMaya- as you do not state your 3 reasons, that is a topic sentence, not a thesis statement. Topic sentences are for essays. Persuasive essays have a thesis statement. Right? Anyway, topic sentences never have because.
ReplyDeleteMay the best tribute win (I intend to)
Nevermind, I figured it out!
ReplyDeleteMaya -
The second half of your compound sentence doesn't make sense. "There have been many events significant to Singapore history" can't stand alone.

ReplyDeleteMaddy- it's a complex sentence that Maya wrote.
