I have been especially focussing on using parentheses and commas. I have highlighted these in green where I have used them as well as other punctuation that I changed because it was used incorrectly. Here is a piece of my writing that shows this.

Parliament

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

  • John Key sits on the 4th seat on the right
  • The Speaker is the Boss
  • National sits on the right side of the speaker

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.
