What Do Beavers Smell Like?

This week for writing we have been learning how to use Complex Sentences. My Success criteria was to use a complex sentence and use a comma in my sentence. I enjoyed writing and finding out about this because I did not know that Beavers smell like what they do! I found it tricky to find out because I kept spelling it wrong. Next time I would try to finish faster.

  1. Kia Ora Kylah,
    What a well researched piece of explanation writing, I can see you have been working really hard this week to meet your success criteria. I really like how you have used a rhetorical question in your title to hook your reader in. Fantastic diagram, did you draw this? If not, maybe next time you could draw your own.
