Interpret Bar Graphs

Reflection I was learning to interpret a bar graph I had to say most to least for fruits and colour and how much people liked red and pink and green over yellow and also for fruit like how likes bananas or apples. I found this easy because how much people liked this fruit and this colour and the bar graph helped me to also it was easy to put the numbers together.

Narrative

My reflection I have been learning to write a narrative is a not a real story that has a problem it is like the learning pit. I really enjoyed making up my story as I go on I don't want to stop writing it is like when you go to a fun place you cant stop. Something I found challenging was to think of the characters and their skills and fighting or hobbies The  hardest part is to think what to do next. My next step is to write the rest of my story and to be the best writer I can be.
