Hot Cake Recipe

LI: To structure and write a procedural text

For writing we have been learning how to write a procedural text. To do this we used the recipe we followed at Tech. This procedure tells the reader how to make hot cakes. Before we wrote this we worked collaboratively to order the pictures Mrs Anderson took of us making the hotcakes. Once we had done that we matched each photo with a verb. A verb is an action word and tells anyone following the recipe what they need to do. After that we use the verbs as sentence starters and collaboratively wrote a list of instructions.

Cityscape of Sydney

L.I to write a description of my Cityscape  using preposition

My Cityscape of Sydney does not show the Sydney Tower, and the Harbour Bridge. In this cityscape there are many office buildings. The building on the left is tall and thin. Beside the thin building is a wide building with 2 different levels that looks like an office. The tallest building next to the wide building has an unusual shape on top of the building that looks like a staircase. The building next to the tallest building is a 2 story building that has many offices. I used cool colours to set a cloudy and cool mood.I did a reflection to show that my cityscape is next to the ocean.
