Writing Sample Term 3

A few weeks ago our class had to do a writing sample test. Here is my piece.

SUNRISE 17/6/2020

Floating on the top of the water. Sitting on your board, staring out at the faded blue line. After each swell passes, beneath the sand below folds over, creating ripples on the seafloor. Awaiting a perfect wave to appear. A salty breeze rustles through your hair and all the water droplets sitting on your face trickle down.The cracking noise against your board is drowned out by seagulls soaring above. 

Gazing at the wax marks on your board you notice a small orange dot appear in the corner of your eye. You raise your head to see the sun slowly beginning to peek up from behind the horizon. Colours splatter across the sky. Clouds turn from a blank canvas to a whole painting. Faded pink, orange, and yellow colours reflect onto the ocean. The water sits dead as a warm shine falls down onto you, heating your whole body. 

You try to look in the distance for a ride but the water is nothing but sparkles as the sun climbs over the horizon. It's blinding, so blinding that you are swept off your board by a wave. Tumbling around through the wave you make your way back up to the surface. 

Standing in the white foamy water, your toes sink into the sand, knowing that the day has officially begun.

Once I submitted this piece I got to do back and recraft it for 15 minutes. My teacher Miss Willock came back with my results. Here they are.

Prior Knowledge

For one of our writing tasks this week we got to choose 2 topics and research about them. These topics were all based on the ocean. The 2 topics I completed were the Benthic zone and Bioluminescence.
Here are the 2 posters I created.

7 Wonders of the World

Last week we had a huge task. We had to plan a holiday around the world visiting the 7 wonders of the world.

The 7 wonders of the world are the Great wall of china, Petra, Taj Mahal, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, and the Colosseum.

I was partners with Tegan. We had to research all the flights, Accommodation, Rental Cars, Food, Petrol, and we had to do an extra activity at each place. We had a budget of $45,000, and had to be away between 30-50 days in May-July.

Here is our Presentation:

Future Budget

From one of my recent posts I said that our class is doing a fake money system. This week our task is to create our future budget. We have to find cars and houses and jobs and everything we will need/want in our future. We also need to research how much a warrant and car registration costs for our car, also our tax and all the Money that we have to pay to the government. Another thing we had to research was what we will study in university and our net worth for when we're older. These won't be our actual futures because somethings might change but this is what we're thinking of right now. 

Here's my presentation and Budget on my Future:

Overfishing

For our writing task this week we had to research an environmental issue and show what it is and how we can prevent it. I did mine on overfishing. It's scary to think that all the fish in the sea will be gone.

Here is my presentation:
