I was really proud of getting an ME word choice area. I had a problem using different words for my sentences and I was really happy that I was able to use the right language to capture my idea in each sentence.

Maybe some challenges that I had with this piece, was my sentence fluency. I have a struggle in this area when it comes to transition words or a fluent sentence structure. My sentences are really chunky and cut off by not giving the right amount of idea for the reader. I would need to work on this and my goal for next time when I write a narrative or any kind of writing, would be to focus on my sentence fluency.

With my writing I was very pleased with finding the right narrative to draw the reader in. It was interesting and had a lot of points like adventure and I was really focusing on that when I was writing.

Maybe some challenges with this was some punctuation. I sometimes put commas in the wrong place and added extra words that didn’t need to be included.

Answer – The evidence he supports his reasons is that Batman is always on the covers of newspapers capturing criminals.

3: Question –  How does Batman start his rebuttal? (When two people debate, one of them makes an argument, followed by a rebuttal from the other person. The rebuttal basically states, “No, you’re wrong, and this is why.”)

Answer – ” My fellow citizens, let me begin by pointing out any inconsistency.”

4: Question – What kind of tactics do you think are fair or unfair in debating, based on this example?

Answer – Fair: Supporting his statements, giving true facts/ telling the truth.

Unfair: Lying, causing distractions, insulting the opponent.

Arizona sunset is the color of my two – wheeler bike. I remember when I was six years old with my dad next to me teaching me out my backyard on how to start a two – wheeler bike and how it felt to be happy. I can still hear the bells from the other bikes passing by. I can still see the helmets of the bike riders. I miss spending time with my dad. Arizona sunset is the color of my two wheeler bike.

My name is Noa but people call me the curly one.

I am 11 years old, turning 12 in June and I live in Hong Kong.

My skin color is as light as a sunflower.

My eye color is goldish brown like milk chocolate.

My hair color is the color of my eyes and I have curly hair. That’s why people call me the curly one.

Friends and family like me as a friend because I help them in need and I make people laugh.

I am happy all the time and hug my friends really tight.

My favorite saying that I always say to my friends when I hug them is: “I love you too!”
