What is the Best Animal in the World

In class we were learning how to write Explanation writing. Our Walt was WALT write and structure explanation writing. We had a student teacher and his name was Mr Lee. He taught us the different things about how to write Explanation writing. We wrote a paragraph about What you think the best animal in the world is to you, and I wrote about 2 animals. What I found difficult about Explanation writing was how it had to start. It was difficult because you had to start with the topic but it was quite hard for me to come up with a starting sentence.

In our writing we had to set it out as a strusture. SEER was the structure, it stands for Starting sentence, Explanation, Examples and Relavance. It was the order we had to write in but make the examples be about the explanation.

This is what I wrote:

My favourite animal is the Huskies. I like huskies because they are like wolves

and they are cute. For example they are like wolves because they have a

lot of fur and sometimes they are harsh but mostly they just want to play.

Another example is that huskies can grow very big and also they know how

to keep themselves protected. Also huskies have very good listening and they

are very fast too. Another example is Female huskies can grow up to 50 - 56 cm,

which means their height. Male huskies can grow to 54 - 60 cm, also their

height. Huskies are not related to wolves but some people might think they

are but they are not. Huskies are just dogs.

My other favourite animal is dogs. Dogs can be very helpful with things

and people. For example if there was a blind person trying to cross the road

while the cars were still going, if a dog was trained to lead blind people it would

really help the blind people because the dogs could see where they are going

and the dog would know where to go. Another example is that sometimes dogs

are very gentle with you when they see someone sad. They know what their

owner is feeling so try to make them feel happy or they can also calm them down. To conclude dogs are the best animals to get help from.

Mr Lee was in class for six weeks. Last week was his last week and then he wouldn't be in class. It was fun having him teach us and also it was fun because he was usually teaching and he did work for us that were just right for us.
