Bangladesh
I have created a slide about Bangladesh. I learnt that the language they usually speak is Bengali.
The students from Bangladesh starts school at the age of 6 to 10 years old and I also found
out the capital city of Bangladesh and it is Dhaka, but Dhaka is a big city full of millions of people sightseeing.
Dhaka was found at the 4th century in 1610.

We talked about ideas with a partner, then we had 1 minute to put those ideas into sentences.
We had to try our best to use all the words on our vocab list. After the minute was up we had 2
minutes to reread what we had written and make changes if anything didn’t make sense, or if we
had words and punctuation in the wrong place. When we finished checking we had 2 more
minutes to carry on writing our descriptions.

All of the words that I highlighted in my paragraph were on my word list. I made sure that my writing made sense, my capital letters were in the right place and I tried hard to use the word list. I need to make sure that I remember to use powerful words and full stops in the right place.
