mr bannerman, our class teacher, is helping us get ready for gillespie secondary
school next year from september, until the time that we graduate in december, he is
helping us to complete assignments in the same way that our secondary teachers
will expect it sounded really hard to me at first how much work would we have to do
first, we needed to be able to write a well-constructed paragraph with an
introductory sentence and supporting information that wasn’t too hard it was just
like writing a different type of story who couldn’t follow a set of guidelines to do that
i could
next, we needed to be able to refer to a chapter in a particular book we also needed
to be able to include diagrams and a figure if the text needs them both of those were
easy finally, we needed to be able to add an appendix if necessary there are so many
things to do will we be able to remember them all i hope so
2. Find complete words in the word search using the abbreviation clues.
