Here are the tools I used to make the L in the soap.

After a lot of hard work i have finally finished.
Here is the final product.

Text Analyst

What does this text do to me?

Question - How would the text be different if told in another time or place, e.g. 1900 or 2100?

Response - it would be different because the building foundation might not have been as strong in 1900, and in 2100 the builders could make the building very very strong.

Question -Are there stereotypes in the text?

Response - No because it talks more about facts and not different types of people.

Free Writng Frenzy. Pizza Delivery

27.5.20

The Pizza delivery person brings you something you didn’t order…

I suddenly heard a loud knock on the door. I quickly rushed to the door to get my fresh juicy pepperoni pizza . I opened the door and no one was there. I panicked and went crazy looking for my pizza as I had been waiting for an hour already, I ran outside and tripped on the pizza box. “YES I found it!” I happily say to myself.I excitedly skip into the kitchen to get me a plate, that’s when I realised that I got a disgusting burnt broccoli and mayonnaise pizza, so I decided to get my sister to try it. “Hey Sis come try this pizza, that I didn’t order but was at the door anyway!” I yelled to my sister, “ Okay coming down the stairs now” replied my sister. As I grab her a plate I nearly faint because of the smell, this pizza smells like rotten eggs that have been put on burnt toast!
