TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR
[Introduction]
Twinkle twinkle little star, who are you and do you really twinkle? The truth is, stars don’t twinkle it is just a reflection. Do you ever wonder how stars came around? Here is a clarification around the life cycle of a star and more general information.
[Life Cycle]
Stars start as a cloud which contains gas and dust. It is called nebula. It then moves to an average star and a massive star. After a while, it transforms into a red giant and a red supergiant. This is the 3rd stage of the cycle. Next it becomes a planetary nebula and a supernova. Off to the last couple steps, a white dwarf. Then continues to a neutron star and a black hole.
[Appearance]
Most of us think that red stars are super hot and blue stars are cold. Well, it is pretty much the opposite! You see, blue stars are hot like a candle flame. If you look closely at the bottom of the fire, there will be dark/light blue which indicates that it is hot. So now we all understand that red stars are cold.
[Types of Stars]
Venus is a planet but also acts like a star that shines in the sky as the morning star. Also, Mercury acts as a star! It glows bright in the sky after sunset as the evening star. Supernova is one of the stars which amazingly can generate shock waves so powerful that they compress a nearby nebula! Where do Protostars come from? Protostars come after nebular the gas out of the sun and they are one of the stages out of the star’s life cycle.
[General Information]
Stars are a huge distance away from Earth. So imagine if you were right next to a star and how huge it would be! Stars shine bright yellow light which takes millions of years to reach Earth. Most of us people think, how did the name star come about? Well, it came from this ancient Greek word “aster” which means star. Our galaxy has over 400 million stars which can live for billions of years!

Salut Toma,
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing your speedwrite within the 40 minutes, you have included some great facts about stars. I love how you have worded your introduction, it hooks the reader and makes them want to read on.
Your next learning steps are:
1) Most of your information report was well written but you still need to proofread to further improve your work and make sure that your paragraphs make sense. (e.g. "Protostars come after nebular the gas out of the sun and they are one of the stages out of the star’s life cycle." - this doesn't make sense)
2) Using formal language (3rd needs to be written as third, and don't needs to be written as do not)
ha I like the interdiction and nice work
