Careers Education C.V. Writing

In CAREERS EDUCATION we have been learning to write a skills based Curriculum Vitae.

A skills based C.V. focuses more on the skills that we have,  rather than our work history.

Here is a link to our online Modelling Book that shows the process we have followed.

Three things that I have learned about writing a Curriculum Vitae are:

1. You should keep it short and simple.

2. Make sure to do bullet points.

3. You need to check your spelling and punctuation.

Here is a link to my Skills based Curriculum Vitae.

Year 9/10 Writing

In writing I have been learning to use a wide range of punctuation appropriately and with increasing accuracy like . , ! ? “”
- colon :
- semi-colon ;
- hyphen -
- parentheses ( )
- brackets [ ]
- ellipses ...

I have been especially focusing on using parentheses and semi-colon. I have highlighted these in green where I have used them as well as other punctuation that I changed because it was used incorrectly. Here is a piece of my writing that shows this.-

Hello and welcome to the most amazing, entertaining piece or writing you shall read in your entire life. I would recommend buckling up your seat belt, folks. Cause this is about to be an explosion of information! Here we go! How do you think a leader should act? Responsible? Yes. Honest? Of course. But how do we all get to this point? Those are the questions we will be answering right now.

The Hydraulic Cycle

This is my information report About the Water Cycle/ Hydraulic Water ...

The Water Cycle is a process where the water in the air and ground gets recycled over and over again so there is never new water, It also can go through different stages which is common to what we will be talking about today.

Evaporation is when the heat from the sun shines on the water which happens to make the water rise from the lakes and rivers. As the water is rising up to the sky it merges with all the dust in the air and that's how clouds are formed. Also on hot days in summer usually, there is a good chance that a few days after it will rain really hard because once the clouds fill up with all the water vapor that goes into the clouds, the clouds get too heavy and then all the water will drop. Fun Fact: When the water vapor turns into gas it is called “Humidity” which is just moist air. After the water turns into gas the Condensation/Precipitation starts to make it rain.

Condensation/Precipitation is when the gas that is in the clouds turn back into water inside the clouds and then it starts to rain and make everything foggy and wet so it makes small droplets on all the windows when it gets a little sunny. Fun Fact: Even though most of the time you can't see it, there is always water in the air and they are little droplets called water particles. Also Condensation is the stuff that makes the air moist and when all the condensation is out of the air it is time for runoff and groundwater when the water shall fall.

Runoff/Groundwater is when the water either runs on top of the land and falls into the ocean or a lake and groundwater is when the water is sinking into to ground and then slowly goes into the ocean or lake. With Runoff the water can sink into the ground and once the ground and dirt gets too wet and moist and the dirt is filled up will water the water starts running on top on the land.

To wrap it up, I hope that you now know a few facts about the water/hydraulic cycle, (lets recap our story shall we). So there is no start or finish to the water cycle as far as we know at the moment, there are five steps of the water cycle [ Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Runoff and Groundwater]. And that's practically all you need to know about the water cycle.

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

In this unit I have been learning about:

• The parts of speech.
• The types of nouns.
• The types of sentences.

In this unit, I found challenging... the finding out what the words mean because you have to make it really specific or the person who is reading it still won't really have any idea of what each of the words mean.

Something new I learnt was... That a pro noun means when in writing you say stuff like I,me,he,myself,you,they e.t.c.

My Short Story

For this piece of writing I have focused on my vocabulary and punctuation. I have been learning to...

• use a range of precise vocabulary to communicate meaning (Year ⅞)
• use all basic punctuation independently and attempt more complex punctuation (E.G. semicolons, colons, parentheses) (Year 7/8)

The pieces of my writing that are highlighted green are where I have shown my vocabulary and punctuation goal

My Story... Category 3 miracle

“ I would love to go to a holiday camp” I said excitedly.

So we set off on our adventure up the Mountain all the way up to the top of the camp site.

As soon as we get there I literally sprint to the reception zone to find out who my leader for the week was and who my cabin mates were. I get to my cabin and my leader looks like a positive person who is also really excited to be here, her name was Lucinda, and then there were my cabin mates who were also really, lets say INTERESTING, like i'm not trying to be mean but they were quite weird. One was OBSESSED with snakes; and the others… don’t get me started. But anyways, for them this was their first camp too. so we were all on the same level with what's happening.

We go to our first activity which is Abseiling and I was probably the most excited out of the 40 people who were coming with us to the Abseiling wall. I waited and waited for my turn which seemed like forever but then it came  to my turn and I walked slowly up the STEEP steps to the top of the abseiling wall; I got strapped in a tight piece of rope and they told me to slowly start walking down the wall. I was halfway down the wall and suddenly Everything around me started shaking and all i heard were people screaming a running while they were trying to hurry me down the wall. I finally get the solid ground and started following everyone to where they told us to go too.

I followed the leaders until we got to this solid; metal shelter that looked pretty stable, so we all squished inside the the shelter and waited for what seemed like forever. We waited and waited then suddenly there was no noise… like at all, so  we waited for a little be longer just In case so no one got blown away again. After about 5 minutes of it being silent one of the experienced leaders looked out of the shelter, and you really couldn't believe what happened next.

when the leader looked out of the shelter it was the sunniest day that anyone of us have ever seen in months, maybe even years. The grass was dry even though we were practically getting blown away with the wind and rain when we were trying to get back to the camp site. We walked around the whole of the camp site just to make sure nothing got damaged and to our complete surprise there was NOTHING Damaged… At all… Honestly, the first thing everyone thought was that we had flown away like in the wizard of Oz… But nope that was the camp site. And even to this day no one knew how all of that commotion happened... yet nothing really happened.
