Kavi's Term 2 Show-What-You-Know Day

"It's your Term 2 Check, clever writer — not a scary test, a day to shine! ⭐" says Kavi the owl. "This term you set off extra information with brackets, dashes and commas; you joined sentences with a semicolon and introduced lists with a colon; you weighed how sure something is with modal verbs — it might rain versus it must be true; you discovered where words come from; you learned to proofread your own writing; and you read closely — comparing two viewpoints, feeling the images in a poem, and questioning the media. Let's put it all together today!"
