In class I've been learning about Explanation writing and the SEER structure. Me and 6 other people were challenged to write explanation writing with
the SEER structure. SEER means Starting Sentence, Explanation, Example and Re valance.
There were 5 people that were gonna be picked to teach students in our class about how to do Paragraph Links. We were aloud to write about
what the best animal in the world is in our opinion or about personal hygiene.
The five people were picked to teach students in the class and I was one
of them.
We made a slideshow about Paragraph Links. We added information, examples and a video in case they didn't understand what we wrote.
Here is a example of the writing I wrote.
Cheetahs are the best.
Cheetahs are smart and very fast. Cheetahs can run 100 – 120 km/h, They can also run up to 60 miles
per hour, That makes them very fast. Cheetahs are also a great jumper. Cheetahs are part of the
cat family. Cheetahs are the only big cat that can’t roar. The cheetah is important to its ecosystem
because it keeps the animals that it hunts in check.
For example, If there were a race between a tiger and a cheetah, the cheetah would definitely
win because it can run up to 60 miles per hour and the tiger can run up to 35 to 40 miles per hour.
Another example is, If a kangaroo and a cheetah had a competition of who can jump the highest,
the cheetah would even though kangaroos speciality is jumping, The cheetah can jump up to
8 feet and the kangaroo can only jump up to 6 feet high.

Personally, Cheetahs are they best animals in the world.
Personal Hygiene is important.
Personal hygiene is how we take care of our bodies, it also makes us feel clean and tidy.
It also keeps us healthy. Brushing our teeth, Washing our hands, Wearing clean clothes,
Showering or bathing regularly, keeping our nose clean and Minimising the spread of germs
where we can. Brushing our teeth is important for our hygiene, Normally we should visit the
dentist every 6 months for a check up. Brushing properly removes plaque. Plaque can cause
cavities, toothaches, gum disease and even our teeth to fall out. Washing our hands is also very
important, if we don’t wash our hands we’ll cause lots of germs, this includes cleaning your
fingernails, Wearing clean clothes and showering or bathing regularly. For example if we wore
the same dirty uniform for a week or so we might get sick and cause germs. Another example is,
If you don’t cut your nails, and you bite them you will get germs in your mouth and you’ll get sick,
it’s also bad if you scratch someone without cleaning and cutting your fingernails, it’ll cause germs
and it could make the other person
sick and catch your germs.
I think that personal hygiene is very important.Showering or bathing regularly, keeping our nose clean and Minimising the spread of germs

As you can see, I highlighted parts because that's how I made the SEER Structure stand out. Yellow=Starting Sentence Pink=Explanation Blue=Examples Green=Re valance
I hope you enjoyed learning about Explanation writing using the SEER Structure.

Hey Mya,
ReplyDeleteI clicked on your blog because of the title and the content of your post did not disappoint. I think you have shown in a really clear way how to write an explanation, well done. You said in the post that you made a slide to share with the class? It would be awesome to link the slide to this post so that perhaps other teachers could use it too?
To answer your question - my favourite type of writing is creative writing - I like being able to make things up and go to an imaginary place! Which is your favourite and why?
