WALT: Follow The Writing Process to write an exposition Full Exposition In this exposition I compared Mother Teresa and Sir Edmund Hillary, using some research skills that I learnt from a slide. I think that Mother Teresa is the better leader because she founded a group that has saved millions.

WALT: apply the techniques of improvisation to a range of different scenarios. Improvisation techniques that I have used successfully are never say no to whatever your partner is saying and listen to your partner.

That was kind of it for my duty because the bell rang shortly after.  I think I showed communicate because the juniors didn't really understand what I was saying and I had to use some words that they would understand.

Exposition Plan Year ⅞ -  I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes. For my “Evaluating Leaders” research I have been researching about Mother Teresa and Sir Edmund Hillary. During this unit I have had to use a range of strategies to find the information I needed on Google. This includes: Cross-checking Using Advanced Search I have achieved this goal because I cross-checked my new info that I found, making sure its true. My next step is to set a new reading goal.
