9T English

Here is a  reflection on everything I have learned this year in English.

About me: This was the first thing we did in English this year. We had to write about ourselves talking about our siblings, hobbies and more. We also had to talk about who we admire and of course I wrote about my mum/mom. 

Speeches: This year we had to write a speech. This speech had to be 2 minutes but a lot of us had ones that went over and under the time limit which was fine. We had three topics to chose from school/community problem, someone we admire and determination creates success and I went with a school problem.

Reading responses: It is now term 2 and we have moved on to reading responses we did a novel study and the book we did it about was see ya Simon. Simon a boy who is unable to do things normal human beings can do. That is a little brief of who Simon is. We also did a comic response, we picked one comic and wrote about it, like the main characters and things like that. Our final response was a short story which I don't remember much about.

Film study: In term 3 we had to learn about films and the different ways directors film there shots in movies. We also had to learn why they use that specific shot and how the director wanted the audience to see them as. After learning about all these shots we watched a movie and had to answer these questions about the movie like: what shots did they use, what the director wanted us to see and how the shot works.

Creative writing: Term 4 brought the last task of 9T English, creative writing. This term we have been learning about what verbs, adjectives and all those things are. We wrote creative sentences using verbs and adjectives etc, and whaea Annette had to look and make sure we had all the right things in our writings/sentences. 

Easttle Writing test: At the start of the year we had an easttle writing test, this test was about something but I don't remember lol, but the end of year easttle test was about an environmental problem on the earth. We did that test just last week on Wednesday and had another period to do it on Friday.

Extra: Throughout the year we did different small warm ups such as word brick. For word brick we had to pick one word from a bunch of words and write the definition and a sentence using that specific word. Another little activity we did was SSR ( Silent sustained reading. ) This is were we read short little story's and answer the questions. We finally finished those SSR's today.

That is everything I have learnt and done in 9T English 2021.
