In Week 6 of Term 1 our class focussed on how to write great explanations. We wrote about how to survive your first night in Minecraft (the game a lot of us are obsessed with!).

Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN MINECRAFT

Minecraft is a popular game in the world .Minecraft is a game where you survive,mine and craft. The main thing about this popular game is that you have to survive the world. Your goal is to build a shelter and stay awake by the horrible mob/creatures lurking in the dark. Unless you get a bed!

Once you have spawned into the world the first thing you need is to find wood! Where you spawn will be trees. You must break them down into logs. Soon you will see the sun setting you must build a shelter quickly.

The sun hits ground and you must stay in your shelter for a long time.If you want a door so you can go out you're gonna need a crafting table .When it is day you might see zombies,Skeletons burning in the hot sun. Thats when you're safe but! You may see a strange creature with 4 legs following you.Its green! Now that is the scary part cause that is a creeper/mob which has a blowing power which can blow up when is close enough to you. It is as green like bright green seeds!.

Now if you see stone and you built shelter near it… make sure you still have wood if not get more wood! Press y and put it in your crafting area. It would change into wood planks. Now change it into sticks only use two wood ok! Now you will have 4 sticks. Now the wood you have make a crafting table. You fill the whole crafting space with wood.

Now that you have a crafting table you may make some tools or other things. Make a pickaxe by putting 2 sticks in a row. Then put your three wood planks on top with the sticks on the bottom middle rows. Then on the side where will be a  pixake. You can mine the stone but it will come out as a cobble stone. You can get three cobble stone to make a stone pixake.

Once you have made the stone pixake you will be able to mine stone much faster. If you see stone with black dots or shapes on it collect it so you can make torches. If you run you will loose hunger bar. Thats when you need to eat. You need to kill pigs,cows,chicken. After collect more stone and go to your shelter where your crafting table is.

Fill the outside of the crafting table with the cobble stone.Don’t fill the middle. It will make a furnace. If you have spare coal good because put it in the bottom part then the food you want to cook on the top.You can’t cook rotten flesh.

If you have killed cows you might of gotten leather. You can make some leather armor. Well I will show you how to make armor. To make a helmet you must put 7 leather shaped as a helmet.To make a chestplate you need 14 leather and shaped as a shirt. To make leather pants you need 10 leather and is shaped as pants. Finally to make boots you need  4 leather shaped as boots with a gap in the middle and that's how you survive in minecraft. Did you know that popular people play this game.
