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.           

Summering information

Holes

I am learning to make a prediction based on the cover and blurb.

Holes

Louis Sachar

  

Look at the different covers above for the story “Holes”.  

What can you see?  What are the common elements between them?

Gecko Boy wearing a red cap Holes and a spade Dirt and sand Flat ground

Read the Title.  Why do you think it is called “Holes”?

Because they might dig holes in the book

Read the blurb below for the book.  

Highlight the keywords in the blurb.

Using the above information, what do you think will happen in the story? 

Write at least  4-6 sentences.

They dig holes under the lake. and There might be a treasure under the lake what they could defeat there  no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great -great-grandfather.

Conclusion 

(complete after finishing the story)

Now that you’ve read the story, do you think the cover design, illustrations, title and blurb work well to tell you what the story was about?  Why or why not? What changes would you make?

So my was right and they found a suitcase under the lake bu there was no lake at all and they all most died.
