Life of a Hybrid - Literacy Narritive

Hello fellow bloggers!
this is my narrative I'm writing for my literacy task, in gillstrom lit, we have to write a 3-4 page narrative, first, we made a Story Structure graph that we would follow to write our narratives, then once they were checked off, we started writing! My story is called: 'Life of a Hybrid' it's about two 12-year-old girls that are hybrids (obviously) they don't have a dad and their mum homeschools them, one unfortunate day their mum suddenly can't homeschool Winter and Maia and they have to go to public school.

Dialogue Practice

Kia Ora Readers!
This week we had a writer's workshop on Dialogue in Literacy.  We had to write a dialogue between two people planning a trip, and then go back and add action that showed them packing.  I tried to make each character stand out with their own personality based on what they said and did.  Let me know what you think and if there is anything you would do differently.

#1

“Do you think we’re going to need jackets?” asks Chris holding
up two puffer jackets.

“Its summer, so no, but maybe a cardigan?” suggests

Lily, she grabbed the jackets and put them back on the hook.

“OK, you can wear that, but I’m going to wear a hoodie!” Chris
said.

“OK!, how about snacks for the plane?” asks Lily

“We need to get through customs so we can buy it at the
airport.”

“Togs?” asks Lily “maybe a surfboard!”

“Hell Yeah!” said Chris, already running out to the garage and
grabbing his surfboard

“I’ll grab the togs!” says Lily

“I’ll get some goggles from the store!”

“Ok, so we’re all set!”

#2

“LILY!? WHERES MY HAIR GEL?” shouted Chris while
looking through the bathroom

“I already packed it for you, dumbo!” Lily says holding up
Chris’s hair gel

“hair dryer?” he says both walking into Lily's Bedroom

“Yep.”

“Comb?” he asks leaning on the doorway

“Done,” Lily says carefully folding her favourite T-Shirt

“Ok then! I guess you’ve packed my clothes for me then?”

“EW NO! I’m not touching your disgusting clothing!” she
replies

“Awe,” said Chris, Disappointment in his voice, as he walks
back into his bedroom to pack

“Yeessssss!” Lily whispers holding up her brand new
surfboard

Goal ladder Reflection

Hello Readers,

This is my goal reflection for term 1!

You might remember at the beginning of the year I posted a google drawing with all my goal ladders on it,  if not here is a link to view it, or you can try to scroll down to find it… that may take a while…

ANYWAY! This post is a reflection for my goals, I have made a copy of the drawing of my goals,
and updated it so it's not changing my other post, I have moved some of the unicorns that
showed where I was at with my goals and I even made my resilience ladder green because I
have unexpectedly completed that goal!  My writing and maths goals I need to get a start on,
I think I’m getting a fair way through my reading goal, and for my shy avoiding most people self
I think I’m doing a good job with my Confidence goal, well, it is labelled ‘other’ but it’is a goal to
improve my confidence so yeah!

This is my Goal ladder now! :

What are your goals?
