Lucy Capitals

WALT: Write an explanation telling people what capital letters are and when you use them in writing.

Do you know what a Capital letter is? A Capital letter is a bigger version of a little letter (AKA lowercase letter). Capitals are not always the same shape as the lowercase letter like the capital letter R it does not look like the lowercase r.

This is one of the times to use a Capital letter. You can use a capital letter for someone’s name for example “My name is Lucy Misilei” There must be a Capital letter at the start of a name and at the start of the last name because it shows respect to the person’s name.

Another time to use Capitals is the start of a title like the title of a movie for instance “ I watched the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Monday” or you can use it for Brands, Games, Shops, and Books like Harry Potter or Diary of a Wimpy Kid.



You can also use it for geographical places. Geographical places means places like a country, ocean, city and continent. Here are some examples, New Zealand, Pacific Ocean, Auckland 
 and Europe.
This is the marks I give myself for paragraph 4

Everyone knows that you have to put a Capital letter after a full stop but did you know you do that with question marks and exclamation marks too. Question marks and Exclamation marks have dots under them and look like this ?! the dots are like full stops so after a question mark or exclamation mark you put a Capital letter for instance “ I’m so happy! I can’t wait to go to Rainbow’s end”.

I conclude that  you must put Capital letters in your writing! If you don’t your audience will not understand your writing. So remember what I have written and you will be the best writer you can be.
