Writing Learning Story

In writing I have been learning to use descriptive writing like adjectives and similes in my writing to paint a picture in my headers head. I did this in my Conscription Story about World War 1. I was retelling and describing what my character felt like when his name was pulled out of the ballot.

An example of my descriptive writing is:

The sun was shining like gold. I could feel goosebumps on my arms like hundreds and hundreds of spiders crawling on my arms and legs. 

When I am stuck I will remember some of the ideas from my reading book. I will look for interesting words and phrases. I talk about what they mean and think about how I can make them into my own words.

This term I have also been learning to include lots of details about Anzac Day to give the reader a good and clear picture in their head and learn a lot about Anzac day and WW1. 

I can use the 5w's to tell the reader what I am writing about, who is involved and where and when it happened. 

An example from my writing is:
Why is Anzac Day Important to commemorate?

Anzac day is on 25th April. This date is important to remember because it was when the Anzacs soldiers arrived on a tiny beach on the Gallipoli Peninsula on Turkey.They arrived early in the morning. When they arrived the Turks were hiding in there trenches up at a high cliff.The Turks were all waiting for the Anzacs to arrive.They were getting ready setting up and all preparing to shoot the Anzacs.
