We are living through a moment of time that will go down in history. Your grandchildren may learn about this in school! Your journal will be a primary source of information for them. Consider the following prompts: What did the Australian Government announce today? Does it impact your life? Why or why not? What is open in your neighbourhood? What is closed? How is today different from yesterday for you, your family, our nation, the world? What does your family need today that you might not have enough of, or be able to acquire, in the future?

Use your understanding of the structure of an exposition AND the feedback you were given from Wk 2’s Big Write to write an exposition on the topic above. Focus on including an engaging introduction and conclusion and writing full paragraphs (at least three sentences for each paragraph).Remember to focus on using wow words (high level vocabulary) and effective openers.
