Man at sea (edited)

Tuesday the 25 February
Man at sea
WALT: Edit
Jose Salvador is a man who claims to have been lost at sea for more than one year dew to a fishing trip that went terribly wrong. He said he survived on fish, birds and turtles he caught with his bare hands. And he also drank turtle blood and rain water. He was found washed up alone with a bushy beard and ragged clothes 8,000 miles from home on a tiny Pacific island called Ebon. Josie a companion set sail from mexico in 2012 it is believed that Jose's friend had died. I think that Jose was telling the truth about this. The positives about this is he learnt how to survive at difficult times.

Man at sea (Draft 1)

Jose Salvador is a man who claims to have been lost at sea for more than one year. He said he survived on fish, birds and turtles he caught with his bare hands. And he also drank turtle blood and rain water. I agree that he was washed up for more than a year. The positives about this is he learnt how to survive in a shipwreck.

My reading goals

W.A.L.T set smart and positive goals.

My term 1 reading goal is to compare and reflect on what the author has written.

I want to achieve this goal because... I don't think about what the author has written

I will achieve this goal by... having a time to reflect at points in the book Every week.

I will know I have achieved this goal because... I will see a habit coming on of me reflecting about the book at points. I will be able to discuss the  big idea of the story with someone else.
