HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN MINECRAFT


Mine craft is one of the most popular games in the world. Have you ever played mine craft? Oh that's alright because today I will talk to you about how to survive on your first night of survival on mine craft.

Firstly, Gather wood. Why Gather wood? You need to make a crafting table. You can also use your hands for most of the tasks in mine craft. Also it might take a bit long to get everything ready. 

Secondly, keep away from the mops. After that hold onto what you are doing and do as we say. Also remember to have light in darkness. 

Thirdly, Go and collect resources, food, cows or pigs. Also Mine cobblestone furnace later. Make your windows with sand. After that remind yourself to keep away from the mops.

 Finally, that is how you survive on your first night of survival. Also keep this so you can survive on your first night of survival. 

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.
