Surface Features
Hello fellow bloggers,
This week we were fixing surface features in a story. A surface feature are rules for our story , like punctuation, spelling and repeated words. We need to use surface features for story's so people can understand. Here is example that doesn't use surface feature : thissentsaChulymakessen Zbuttisrellyhrd to reed
This what it looks like with surface features : This sentence actually make sense but this is really hard to read.
On our room 9 writing site there was link to a story that we needed to fix, then make a copy of the document. We had read it 3 times, the first time we had to find the end of sentence. The second time we had to highlight the repeated most words. The third time we had to think is this easier to read now.
Here is story that we had to fix
He kept absolutely still as the footsteps got louder he tried not to suffocate as he laid under the bed he was wondering what had happened to his brother and his family. The man with the knife in his hand stormed around the house. Mums had boyfriends before but we had not thought that they would ever find us maybe he was one of them looking for revenge but why would he come. mum would just move and how did he find us we live on the other side of the planet from where all of mums boyfriends were so how could he find us he might have put a tracker on mum when he last saw her or on one of the devises ‘Hello where are you I know your here you're going to tell me where you're mother is or you shall join your father... in the skies so which will it be death or freedom you have 10 seconds chose wisely’.
James kept absolutely still as the footsteps got louder. He tried not to suffocate as he laid under the bed. He was wondering what had happened to his brother and his family. Jack with the knife in his hand stormed around the house.
Mum had boyfriends before but now she doesn't have one. He thought that they would never find us. Maybe he was one of them, looking for revenge. But why would Jack come here? Mum would just move. How did he find us? We live on the other side of the planet from where all of mum's boyfriends were. So how could he find us? He might have put a tracker on mum when Jack last saw her or on one of her devices .
“ Hello, where are you? I know you are here. You are going to tell me where your mother is or you shall join your father... in the skies. So which will be death, or freedom you have ten seconds to choose wisely. ”
I hope you enjoyed this. Try to fix the story. Thank you for reading. Goodbye! :D
