Post Creative Writing Task

What is my learning objective?
I am learning to use writing skills to better my writing.
How am I learning it?
I am learning it by applying the skills to my writing.
Why am I learning it?
I am learning it to improve my writing better.

This is the creative writing that I wrote.
Complete the six task on the slide and you need to either show where the examples of the task are in your writing, or you are to write them out into your writing.

1.) Show setting via a narrator's personal pov
The grassy field danced through the wind under the moonlit sky. The blooming flowers were reflected by the moons silver glow. The smell of sweet fragrance ran through the air.

2.) Describe character using action
She looks a down, a pained sighed came out of her lips before she sat down on the grass.

3.)Replace
It was full of wacky and crazy(replaced adventures with escapades)escapades with his friends.

4.)Insert
A girl walked (I added an adverb) slowly through the (I added an adjective) dark green field mesmerizing the beauty of it. 

5.)Show characters through what they say (and omit)
“When you look up at the night sky and see the billions of stars out there, which one do you see?” An old man said. 
“Huh?” The little girl responded, tilting her head in a comical manner.
“Just like the stars, there are billions of story out there. Each one with a different version of itself but when you look at the star which one do you see?” Replying back. “Even if you don’t exactly hear or remember the right story, at least you still remembered that it was there.” The old man finished.
(It shows the old man is wise and full of wisdom and the little girl as someone who hasn't experienced much.)

6.)Make a character introduction memorable
She remembered her grandpa sitting on the grass, telling her stories of his past adventures around the world, it was full of wacky and crazy escapades with his friends, learning about what it had to offer. She remembered her grandfather telling her of the story of how he climbed the side of a mountain, how he learned to catch a fish with his bare hands and how he swam through a frozen lake.
(This paragraph shows that her grandfather is an adventurous man)
