Hi, welcome to my blog today im blogging about what we had played, We play softball and today im going to teach you how to play it properly.

We played with even teams of 9 and the other teams go batting and we go fielding. In the first game, I was in the back and waiting to the other teams hit the ball and I hope that the ball will come to me so the batting will get out, There is 3 out of your teams got out 3 times the fielding will go batting and the batting will go fielding, it's just like swapping. When 1 of my friend in the other team hit the ball and luckily the ball came to me and I catch it and he's out. When the other team got 3 out, my team is going to batting and the other team going to fielding. All my team were good they are so good aiming the softball. When it's my turn to hit the ball, It was my first try and I hit the ball go far away and I run fast but I didn't get back, When is my other teams turn luckily she hit the ball and I run fast and I cam back to where did I wait for batting. Suddenly when our teacher said that we won and we need to stop because we need to blog about what we have learned.

Co-Construct our SEXXXY paragraph

In the scene where Auggie cries to his mother about being bullied, colour and lighting are used to create an atmosphere of sympathy. We see this through the use of warm and dull colours in the shot.
These make the space feel safe and comfortable for Auggie to express his emotions. This makes us understand how Auggie is feeling, miserable, oppressed and depressed because he looks different from his peers. He asks his mum, 'will it always matters' which is a feeling most in the audience can relate too. This was done to show the theme, the importance of friendship and family, because Auggie learns resilience by talking issues through his mum. Combine with this is the use of close-up shots to shows the emotions and tears on Auggie face.  The viewer of a moment later in the story where Auggie is upset because his sister Via doesn't want him to go to her play. Just like this scene, Auggie runs to his room upset and a member of his family comes to rescue him.
