"Seeing my story in the Extra was really exciting knowing that it will be read all around New Zealand. My story was called: Billy’s adventure, I had sent it to the extra in March and they put it in for the June extra! I was also hoping they would put it in! First I had to write it, then I self edited by doing, COPS, highlighting my goals were I have done them. Next I added some things in.Then it was time for peer editing! I got my peer (Anika) and she read it and left 2 stars and a wish! When Ms Kerr called out “Jemmas story is in the extra” I came up and saw it in there. I was so proud of myself for achieving my goal, but I’m not stopping there!" Jemma.
P.S. If you don't know what Extra is it is a kids news paper." Jordan.
"Last month I wrote a poem about figurative language. I sent my poem into the Extra and I was hoping I would get in. When the new Extra arrived I flicked through the poem section to find my poem. I felt amazed and proud of myself." Tiara.
"I've been trying to send a story into the Extra for a while. When I was finished typing my story I gave it to Ms Kerr to send. When the Extra came out I found my story, I was so excited!" Emily DL
"I wrote a recipe about chocolate mousse. When I sent it to the Extra I was really nervous and thought I wouldn't get in. But, when I saw it in the Extra my teacher Ms Kerr said that I won a recipe book. I was really happy that I got in and won something." Amaya.
Hi Emily
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see you had a piece of writing published in the Extra Magazine!!! How fabulous that you had been trying to get one accepted and you have now achieved your dream!

I love this post, Room 15! There is a lot of amazing writing happening during your learning time. I wanted to thank you so much for inspiring the Neinsteins to think about how they might get their writing published in the Xtra magazine as well. They have decided that it is important to really focus on completing a piece of writing to a very high standard.
ReplyDeleteI got my story in the extra and I was so proud of myself and I'm not stopping there!
