Well done Levi, it looks like you are using some great describing words, I would like to see you read lots more books this year. Dad

WALT:

write about the plot, setting, characters, theme of our novel and to write a critical response.

S.C. we have media type="file" key="slideshow 2.mov" width="567" height="567"
 * Described 3 characters looks and personalities
 * Identified the main themes in our novel
 * Describe on detail where our novel takes place so that a picture is created in the readers head
 * Listed the main events in our story
 * Written about what I liked and didn't like about our novel and given a recommendation intended audience.

Buddy comment: This is a very well done novel. I like the colours you have used and from what I can see there are no spelling mistakes in your work. Some of your sentences don't make sense and I can't read it. You need to use fullstops in your sentences cause I can't see any.

 prediction for bumface:  I think that there is a boy who doesn't want to look after his baby brothers and sisters and doesn't want to. I think that his mum keeps getting pregnant so he always has to look after them
