Ella West visit
Today in period one we got a surprise the whole of the year 7's & 8's got to sit down and meet Ella West, she came into our school to talk about her books because some of the classes in the year 7 & 8 block have been reading some of her books especially "Night Vision" which is her most popular book. She talked about how she came up with the idea for night vision and how she set out the setting and how to use sites to create a good setting. She read out us a couple sentences from the book to give us some ideas about the book to get us interested so we would want to read it. She gave us some good tips to use if we where ever wanting to write a book and the process of writing and creating a book. She also showed us her new up and coming book that she has been creating for almost a year the books name is "The sound of my heart" But overall i really enjoyed listening to Ella West.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts about Ella West's presentation with us. I am glad to hear you found the hui interesting. Did you enjoy hearing about her other books? Maybe we could read Rain Fall next term for novel study? I want you to be careful when you are editing before posting your writing. I think there are a few places you could add in full stops as well as checking capital letters on her name and the titles of all her books!

Hello Tai it's Jesse I like how you have added a photo of Ella West I think you could add some more books that Ella West has wrote and then other people can get them from the library and they can read them. I thing you can add more detail about how she started making books and what age was she when she started and did you like night vision was it a good book.
