Room 7 have been focusing on varieties of language features to use in our narratives for our tests. Everyone in my class have been stressing about our tests, but to get rid of the nerves for Writing we went over the language features and what we need to improve on in our writing. Such as our sentence structures, our ideas, punctuation, spelling, vocabulary and paragraphs.
We also looked at the different kinds of language features and came up with original examples or examples from the internet.
