Literacy Shed

This week, I did free writing but the problem was, that I couldn't think of anything to write about. So I asked Mrs Taylor and she showed a website called Literacy Shed. It's really cool, there are little categories like, The Fun Shed or The Ghostly Shed. You can click on anyone and it takes you to another page with short movies, that might inspire you to write something.

I really like some of the movies under The Ghostly Shed. It made me think of what I could write about and loads of ideas came into my head.

'Wonder' Point of view writing

Our writing task last week was to write a short essay explaining what point of view R.J Palacio used when writing ‘Wonder’. We also had to find examples from the text, also I found quotes to back up what we thought. It had to have an introduction, 3 example paragraphs and lastly a conclusion. I’m really enjoying the book, this book is way more interesting than the book my teacher read last year. Here is my short essay about ‘Wonder’.

‘Wonder’ is a story about a boy who feels ordinary on the inside, but he is always reminded of how different he is by how people respond when they see him. This is R.J Palacio’s first novel and it is written in the first person.

August is speaking in first person because at the start of the book he says,

“I know I’m no ordinary 10 year old I mean sure I do normal things like eat ice-cream, I ride my bike, I play ball and I have a Xbox, stuff like that makes me ordinary.

August is speaking in first person because at the start of the book he says, “If I found a magic lamp and had one wish I would wish that I had a normal face.”

August is speaking in first person because at the start of the book he says, “But I know other ordinary kids don’t make other ordinary kids run away screaming in the playground.”

Therefore, I think that Palacio has used the first person point of view in her story ‘Wonder’.
