Two Stars And A Wish End Of Term Reflection

Dicrioption: At the end of this term we are doing a reflection this is a two stars and a wish reflection. The two stars are things that I have done well the wish is something I won't to improve on.

Writing Task Why Is My Teacher Is late

W.A.L.T: Entertain

Description: In Troys writing group we have been given the topic what if our teacher was late, we had to try make it as crazy as we could. We had two ways of writing it, we could make a comic strip or or make a story with a photo like what I have done.

Self evaluation: I think that I have done a good job at having a small amount and making as detailed as I could, another thing that I think that I have done well is try to set it at 1971because they did not have the typing material that we have today or the cars, I really like the police car photo it brings it I well. One thing that I could work on is maybe making better use if my space for photos and more text on the dumbly that comes in, to make it suspenseful.

Writing Task

                        What If Time Froze

I wake up in the morning go to check the time think, oh, 

“it’s a broken” oh well I’ll just check the time on my iPad .

Wow that is not working ether lucky we have one more clock thats

not working ether I’ll look out the window at the clock tower thats frozen. 

I think that time has frozen. 

I’m going to go to all you can eat buffet all I can because 

there is no time for when they shut. Then I would go on a 

quad bike, go top speed then school’s won’t be open so there

is no reduced speed. 

I would say to the reef that the time is up then 

he looks at the time then he thinks it has been time so the they win.

Then I would go and get a self-ey with with some famous people

in press conference's so the time would not move they would be 

there for ever and ever and ever. 

Plus I would get to miss school, it would not 

of started at midnight. Then I would go to the video shop and then

 I would rent all the video’s now.

Now could you really do all of this if time had not froze.
