Eureka Stockade - Second Draft.


I am learning to write reports. this is my second draft on a report on the Eureka Stockade. ( Mums suggestions and mark ups are in capitals)

The eureka stockade is a important part of Australia's history. CAPITAL LETTERS FOR THE NAME OF A PLACE OR EVENT

The Eureka stockade was in Ballarat,Victoria. The actual stockade was built on baker hill. They mined gold around Ballarat during the Goldrush. The people who mined for gold themselves diggers.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DIGGERS TO MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE REBELLING?

The men came together at about 8 o'clock on the 2nd of December 1854 and created a distinct place where the men could muster and be drilled. There was 10000 diggers. ( PLEASE CHECK THIS NUMBER. I THINK IT WAS LESS THAN THIS)

The battle lasted for 15 mins. 23 diggers and 15 troopers died. MORE NEEDED HERE.
WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE REBELLION? WHAT WERE THEY HOPING TO ACHIEVE? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE?   HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN THE STOCKADE WHEN IT WAS RAIDED?  WHERE WERE EVERYONE ELSE?

The flag was a southern cross with a blue background. WHAT FLAG?  


CONCLUSION - WHAT CHANGED?  WHAT DID THE GOVERNMENT DO FROM THEN ONWARD? WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT TO AUSTRALIA AND TO THE WORKFORCE?

Book review A fairy princess has been here

In the book it tells you about a little girl called Jamie solving a mystery about  a fairy princess being in her house.

The first clue was that there was sparkles on the floor and only a fairy drops fairy sparkle dust. Then she finds a note that has purple pen writing on it and it says " dear Jamie I love you and don't ever forget it! F.P" and F.P stands for fairy princess.

Next she finds a cup with tea in it and it is proof she's been there.  She finds a box that says my prince and has a bunch of pictures inside it. In the bathroom she finds fairy dust (makeup) and a fairy definitely needs makeup. At last her mum calls her and her mum was going on a date and Jamie gets a baby sitter.

 I would give it a 9/10 I really like this fairy princess story.
