We were learning to do explanation writing. Explanation writing is explaining your topic to your reader my topic is the lifecycle of a butterfly. You need to have a topic that you can explain and that is easy for you to explain. In the writing you need to include an introduction, main body and a conclusion each of these also need to be in a paragraph.
I learnt that when the butterfly is ready to come out of the chrysalis the chrysalis goes transparent and that the very first thing the caterpillar eats is it´s very own eggshell. I also learnt that when a butterfly egg is laid they are almost white but before hatching it changes to yellow.
I found it easy to collect the facts of the lifecycle of a butterfly because i found this really cool website and it had all of the facts for you right there. I also found it easy to create my diagrahm pictures because I just found a picture from google then I traced around it.
I found it hard to figure out how I should put my DlO in place because I tried lots of different ways but none of them worked but then I searched up on google ways to make a DLO and then I finally found the right one. I also found it hard to like write down the facts because my slide was all glitchy and stuff kept on moving.
I really enjoyed creating my diagrahm pictures because it was super fun drawing the pictures and using lots of different colours. I also really enjoyed going on that website that had all of the facts on the lifecycle of a butterfly because I learnt something new such as the very first thing a caterpillar eats is it´s very own eggshell.
Next time I think I could add more facts on that part of the lifecycle because I didn´t really add that much in and the reader might not have got a good description on that thing. Next time I could also maybe add some more detail to the diagrahm pictures.
I was being a researcher by organising my data and and gathering information.
