This Is My Book Review

This is my explanation writing

How the rain cycle works

Rain cycle is how the rain rains and what make it rain.

Evaporation : the changing of the water into a gas is called evaporation

Condensation: the changing of water vapor into water is called droplets is called Condensation.

Precipitation: water falls from the sky in the form of rain, snow or hail, this  process is called precipitation.When the sunshines, the heat of the sun warms the water

turning it into visible gas, ( called water vapor.)

the changing of water into a gas is called evaporation.

because gas is lighter than liquids.

water vapor rises into the sky.

they further move up into the way from earth surface due to the tempter of gas.

in the sky the water vapor cools and changes back into tiny water droplets.

the change of water vapor into water droplets is called condensation.

it is the opposite of evaporation

clouds are made up of tiny water droplets

so when condensation is accors in the sky clouds form and grow.

the droplets bang together and form even bigger drops.

when the drops get heavy they fall because of gravity.

thefs  grow and banp into another on their journey from cloud to the ground

and every single rain drop that reaches the ground is made of one million of the tiny rain drops. Rain drops fall on the ground surfaces, when the sun can shine on them and then oceans and lakes collect water that has fallen. water evaporates into the sky again and the cycle continues.

This is my active reflection about Explanation writing.

I give myself a thumbs up. 

    

What am i most pleased with?

I'm most pleased with that the fact that it with my first time writing explanation writing, and i did a pretty good .

How sea turtles grow into adults.

The sea turtle is a threatened species that has been on Earth for 150 million years. It takes approximately 20 years for a turtle to grow to be a breeding adult. The female turtle lays approximately 50 - 200 eggs on the beach. After she lays the eggs the female covers the eggs up with sand and then she leaves them. About six weeks later the eggs will hatch while 20 % are left behind and never hatch.

Once the baby sea turtles hatch from the eggs there will be other species such as predators waiting to hunt them down  like crabs, birds,and pollution  . After they reach the sea approximately only 50% will survive the journey to the sea. Babies sea turtles are  the same size as our palm.

As soon as  the sea turtle reaches the sea they start looking  for hiding places like seaweed. There are many dangers in the sea for sea turtles such as waves, pollution, whales, sharks, dolphins and sea birds for when they come up for air. 50% of babies that do make it into the sea, die from these animals and objects.           

Lastly the female turtle start breeding at age 20  although they can live for 80 years.Once a female turtle is ready to lay her eggs she crawls on to the beach and digs a hole in the sand so that she can lay her eggs there. Finally the sea turtle life  cycle will start all over again.

What I need to work on more in my explanation writing are.

1. Use more precise words.

2. Write more detail in each paragraph.

This is my explanation writing of how sea turtles grow into adultes.

This is my active reflection about instructional writing.

I give myself a thumbs up
