Well done Tajai. I like how after reading and identifying the key ideas on page 1 and 2 you were able to express your understanding of those key ideas by combining them in a paragraph. This is called a summary.
ReplyDeleteHey Tajai,
ReplyDeleteI like the way that you wrote about the ANZACS that fought in World War 1. I acted like a soldier and wrote 2 letters about what life was like in Gallipoli. Keep up the good work Taj. Are you going to be a hero like the ANZACS?
