Writing Reflection T3W5 2017

Writing Reflection

Video Notes: This week on a site called video notes allowed us to write down things whilst watching a video. The video we watched was salmon life cycle. We had to write down what we heard and put it in our own words. Here are is the facts I've gathered.

Salmon are one of the most prized fish in New Zealand. In December you might see some salmon in the water.

Salmon spend two years at sea and come back for a month so they can go to their spawning ground.Whilst doing this they try to relax wherever they can to have a break from the strong corrunt.

When they get close to their spawning ground they all group together waiting for a good time.

They hang quite close together.

The fish have become dark they haven't eaten since they were at sea.

The hens are female salmon the jacks are boy salmon.

The hen make a hole in the ground for the eggs when she is ready to lay the eggs jacks will fertilize it. The jacks will fight off other jacks.

They lay eggs up to 4 thousand per time.

The baby salmon are smaller than a 10c coin.

The next time you will see them they will be a big size.

Writing: This week for writing the class has written written off story starters this website is called pobble 365. For the story starters I did mother of dragons it's about how zoya has a dragon which thinks zoya is her mother. I have not completely finished this writing but here is my work. Here is the link to pobble (The blue is the story starter).

Mother Of Dragons

When the dragon had hatched, crawling out of its shell onto her bed, Zoya knew that her life would never be the same again.

She had brought the dragon far away from her village; away from the people who would hurt it and take it away from her. As she held it in her hands, feeling its claws affectionately digging into her fingers through her gloves, Zoya knew that exactly what she had to do. What they had to do. Together.

The dragon gazed at her. She could see the flames burning within its eyes. It was totally dependant on her, as a new-born child is to its mother. And yet, strangely, she felt dependant upon the dragon as well; dependant upon what it was and what it would become in time.

They would become inseparable. Their futures were entwined. Their adventures were only just beginning…

This wasn’t the only dragon that zoya had bonded with before. She had once had another dragon but the people from her village took him away. That’s why she wasn’t sure if she

could take care of the new dragon.

Just while Zoya was thinking so many thoughts in her head, the dragon made the weirdest noise that anybody had ever heard. Then it all went silent for at least 2 minutes. Then she heard voices and for some reason she couldn’t help but think that she knew this person. It was her father. She hadn’t seen him for years and he must have come back to hear that Zoya was missing, he must have got out a search party. The only problem was that her father dislikes dragons and also wasn’t very fond of her, so she ran with her dragon.
