My Special Place



                                                            My Reflection 

I was learning how to use my senses add detail to my writing so that I can make my writing more interesting for my reader.
This writing was easy because I know my five senses and it helped me for my writing.
Something that helped me was the brainstorm for my writing because it gave me more ideas.
Something that was tricky is to use more punctuation because I didn't have many ideas about punctuation.
My next step is to use this skill in my other writing to add detail.

Comparing Animals Venn Diagram

                                                                      My Reflection

I have been learning to find information in a non-fiction book by skimming and scanning.
Skimming is when we read quickly over a text or book to get an idea of what the book is about.
Scanning is when we look for specific information in a text and we we look for key words or phrases.
I read a book about butterflies. I skimmed and scanned the book for facts about butterflies.
I buddied up with Krupa to compare animals using a Venn Diagram.
I found this easy because the laptop helped me to find lot's of information.
My next step is to find more interesting information about butterflies.
