The great asteroid (the Moon) has lunar phases which means that it looks different every night. Some believe that the shapes are shadows from the Earth, however we will begin by explaining the Moon’s orbit of the Earth, and then go through the phases of the Moon.
WHY Did the Moon look upside down when Neil Armstrong step on it?
Introduction
The amazing asteroid, (the Moon) appears to change every night and has lunar phases which causes it to change shape. There are two lunar phases that the Moon appears in waxing gibbous and waning gibbous.
The moon’s orbit
The extraordinary asteroid, (the moon) is known to be orbiting around the earth and only the earth. The Moon goes through different phases every month or night, but when the moon orbits the earth and it gets back to where it started it is a new moon, then a waxing crescent, after that it is last quarter, then amazingly a full Moon then it starts all over again but from the full Moon to the new Moon in waning.
Phases of the Moon
The Moon goes through phases every night or month manly there are eight phases in a month. The first phase is the new Moon the new Moon is a Moon that is no where to be seen at all. The next phase is a waxing crescent which looks like a banana, then it goes to a first quarter which the Sun is just shining on its hafe that's the part that you can see. After the first quarter it is a full Moon that means you can see the, whole inter Moon. When the full Moon has past it starts all over again but in waning and from the full moon to the new Moon.
- Conclusion
Now you amazingly have some facts about the Moon you might even want to make your own explanation writing, but really if you want to learn more about the amazing asteroid (the Moon) vist this website: (http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/space/moon.html).

안녕하세요 (annyeonghasaeyo) Peter,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your writing and learning about the Moon, it was very interesting to read!
In terms of your writing, your next steps are:
1) Adding enough factual detail - in one paragraph you wrote that the Moon has only two lunar phases "the waxing gibbous and waning gibbous".
2) Proofreading your work - it is a very important skill to be able to proofread your work and pick out grammatical and spelling errors.
