OUR WRITING BLOG

This is a guest post written by Lara on behalf of the GEMS.


We created a writing blog for us to share our writing with others and teach us how to post. Our blog is called 2m Writing Gems.

This blog helps us open up our writing to others around the world. It also helps us to improve our writing and get quicker with our typing.

As we are writing and before we publish, we focus on the CUPS.
The CUPS are-

C - is for capitals. Do I have a capital to start my sentences and for the names of people, places and things


U- is for understanding. Does my writing make sense?

P-is for punctuation. Have I used my full stops,
commas, exclamation marks,
question marks or speech marks?

S-is for spelling. Are all my words spelt correctly on my post?

At the moment, we are writing recounts but later on in the year, we will be attempting other text types like stories, descriptions, opinions and explanations.

We'd LOVE for you to encourage us with our writing so please visit our Writing Blog often and leave comments that will help us become better writers.
