Better Tips

I wrote a  really good tip, but to me it did not sound interesting. So I wrote it again.

                                            My First one.

             Check your spelling!! Checking your spelling helps your writing a lot. I sometimes forget to check my spelling ,but I always try. It messes your writing if you forget.

The 6 Traits of writing

I just finished reading a story called "Too Young To Work" . After I read it I noticed it had the 6 traits of writing. The 6 traits of writing are idea and content, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions.      

This questions you should ask.                                          

1.Ideas and content - Does my idea go with the title? Does it make sense?

2.Organization - Is everything in order? Is it where I wanted it to be?

3. Voice - Did I say what I wanted? Is it in my own words? Does it make sense?

4.Word choice - Did my wods make sense? Did I use descriptive words?

5.Sentence Fluency- Did my sentences sound complete? Are my sentences able to be read?

6. Conventions- Are my words spelled right? Does my paper make sense?

               I found some of that in the story I read.

Have you heard about Brian Nichols? Well, on March 11, 2005 Brian  Nichols in court ( he was accused already ) he had to go change and that's when he took the officer's gun and killed 3 people.

He was in front in some apartments. They say later that day they found another body who is believed to be a victim of Brian Nichols.That day was the worst day for Atlanta ,Georgia. everybody was worried.Of course, he was arrested.

Tips

     I just finished reading some tips at Tips for Young Writers. I liked a lot the one about the sentences.                     

                                                 Her Tips                                                                Re-write, re-write, re-write. Tear every sentence apart and analyze it. Does it flow? Is it passive or active? The best writers use an active writing voice as much as possible. So instead of saying: “She picked up the pencil,” say instead, “She grabbed the pencil.” Don’t sweat it if it seems to take a century to create something good, that’s how you learn. And with experience the writing process becomes easier. Promise.

                                          My Tip

You should reread EVERYTHING you write !!!!!!!  Why?   If you don't you might miss spell something. You should think about it.

Think about weblogs

I have learned so many interesting things in the weblog group. So far it has been very cool , and amazing !!!!!  You would not think of what we could do with them. I would love to see weblogs being used in other schools not just J.H.House ,also in middle schools and high schools. Next year I'm going to middle school and since I love weblogs I think they should try to have weblogs.I think middle school students would love to type about current events that are happening around the world.A weblog is like a journal where you write current events and other things you would like to share with other people. Can you think of writing something really cool that people around the world would love to read? You could also add pictures in your post that you draw or take. ( How cool is that!!!) While people are in weblogging they also learning to use describing words . We write our opinions about the current events we write about. If some schools want their students to learn even more they should use weblogs.
