Hi Ms Katya,
YOU LEARN MORE FROM EXPERIENCE THAN BOOKS.
I belive you learn more from experience than books. There are
many reasons why you learn more from experience than books but I
will just name some. Its a fantastic experience that will last
all your life, you learn a lot more than if you just read a book
and its worth trying! and this list can go on forever and ever
and ever... At the end you will realise how fun learing is from
experiences.

Dear Angelica
You have managed to write a really clear plan. You might need to
have an additional reason just in case the difference between
the first two is a bit blurred.
Fantastic Job!!!

Why we should have school uniforms.
In my opinion there are quite a few reason about why we should
have school uniforms. First of all it saves time in the morning
because you don't have to chose your clothes. It also stops the
bullying of people because of what they wear. Third by wearing a
school uniform it makes it less confusing and easier to see who
is in the school and it also show respect to the school. And my
final reason is that some people say that you can't express
yourself through uniforms which isn't true you can express
yourself with your uniform but using your personality. These are
the reason for wearing school uniform.
Dear Gabriela
This looks like a nice plan. However, afte reading your
paragarphs, I noticed that there are a lot of ideas that could
be developed more.

Hi Katya
SPORT IS IMPORTANT IS VERY IMPORTANT
I believe that sport plays a crucial role in a human being.
There are so many reasons why sport is important but I will name
three. sport is really important because it gives you health
benefits. In addition to m previous statement, sport gives you
health benefits such as staying fit and healthy. Furthermore the
majority of sports includes people working together and this
develops teamwork skills, this is crucial in a person. My final
reason is that sport helps people with social skills that are
not so good, it increases integration in different activities.
You might be very shy but if you train and are good at soccer
you play with other people, take your mind off of it and not be
shy anymore. in conclusion sports is something every human
should do.

Dear Juan Ignacio
Very well-written plan. You could have developed your ideas more
in the paragraphs.
Great Job!!!

REASONS YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WALK YOUR DOG
If you love your dog, you have to take care of him. You can take
care of your dog in many ways. Like feeding him, playing with
him, take him to the doctor, but most importantly, WALK HIM. One
of the reasons is that if you walk your dog, it will prevent him
destroy things when you leave him alone.
Another reason, is that your dog can keep healthy by
excercising, if doesn't keep fit, he might have problems with
his health. Another reason is that he can keep connection with
you by following your rules and also he will know that you are
his companion.
So, if you don't want to lose your dog, WALK HIM.
Dear Isabel
Very nice plan. I would have liked to see the paragraphs to be
able to see how they matched with your plan.

My Persuasive Text:
I tried following the guidelines that the model text displayed
but I also tried to create and write my own version.
Why Reading is Important
Many people may ask themselves the same question; “Why is it so
important to read?” Well this question has a very easy answer
due to the many reasons why reading is such an important task
within someone’s lifetime. First of all, there are certain types
of information that cannot be easily acquired by personal
experience or such. For example, you will not be able to obtain
information about subjects like World War 1, Henry VIII from
everyday life. Reading has many benefits to offer your brain,
aswell. This activity increases your ability to vocalize
clearly, it bumps up your creativity, lowers stress levels and
most importantly it gives you knowledge that you will be able to
cherish for the rest of your life, apart from everything else
that might not always be there for you. Lastly, by reading you
will find yourself in a world of fantasy, where everything is
possible. A place where you can escape from your life and be
engaged with what the characters want, feel, say and do. All in
all, this activity that can often be classified as unexciting,
should be very important in everyone’s life. Even though I did
not mention them all, you now know the many different reasons
and benefits of why reading is essential and most of all
exciting!

Dear Nicole
This is a very detailed plan and after reading your paragarphs
there is little difference between them and the plan. Make sure
your plan are just a draft of the final writing.

I reviewed Angie's paragraph I think it is very good but it is
missing Coherence and cohesion by a little bit. Although I did
find it quite interesting and I understood what it was talking
about but I might recommend you put a better explanation of the
reasons you put in the text. And I noticed you where missing a
capital letter after punctuation mark like a full stops or an
exclamation marks but I don't remember which one.
I think it is very good and persuasive!

Thesis statements, topic sentences and supporting sentences

Informative text: What is a healthy diet? Why is it good to keep
a healthy diet?
Many people do not know what a healthy diet is. Junk food is not
good and if we eat it all the time, we will get fat and are
stomach will hurt frequently. A healthy diet is a diet where not
a lot of junk food is consumed and helthy food like vegetables
and fruits are eaten frequently. Proteins that are found in
fish, red meat, beans and others are essential for growh and
repair. Calcium, which is found in daily products like milk, is
very important because if a break a bone, this will fix it.
Carbohydrates, like starch and sugar gives us energy and it
permits us to do the process for energy (respiration). Vitamins
are needed in very small amounts to keep body processes working
properly. If we do not consume frequently all of these or if we
do not consume frequently one of these, we won´t have what that
nutrient provides us. Fibre cannot be consumed but it is very
important because it prevents constinpation. We should eat all
nutrients that re requiered tu have a healthy diet. Keep a
healthy diet and remember every nutrient is important for human
beings.

Angelica, I have read your persuasive paragraph regarding the
thesis statements, topic sentences, and supporting sentences.
In my opinion you have done a very good job developing the
subject and meeting the requirements of a persuasive text. You
have most certainly included a topic stament which is "There
are many reasons why you learn more from experience than books
but I will just name some." This is an excellent statement that
introduces the idea very clearly in the beggining. Your
supporting sentences contained a lot of detail but I sense that
something was missing. To make this text even better, you could
have included at least one more reason with just as much detail
as the others. Also to improve this text you could have had a
wider variety of word choice in mind. For expample finding
synonyms or even antonyms to the original common words, or
replacing everyday terminology for proper English vocabulary.
Keep up the good work Angelica!
