What is a pencil?

What's a pencil?

A pencil is made of wood and lead. 
The lead is in the centre of the wood. 
You hold a pencil in your hand. 
You write with a pencil.
A pencil has rubber on it. 
You can rub out with a rubber. 

My Reflection

I am learning how to write an explanation.

It was tricky to find information to explain a pencil.
I am proud that I now know how to explain a pencil.
Next I will be able to try to explain other objects.


The features of a Non-fiction Book.

Features of a Non-fiction Book.

  1. A content page is where you find what is in the book
  2. A index page is at the bake of the book.
  3. A glossary gives the meaning of the words in the book.
  4. There are more photographs than drawings in the book  because it is a real story.
  5. They have labels to explain the diagrams.
My Reflection.
I am learning about the features of a non-fiction text.
It was tricky to answer all of the questions about the non-fiction text.
I was proud that I now know where the contents page is and what it is there for.
Next I will use this knowledge in other non-fiction texts.
