Writing T3 W3

 Hi everyone! This week for writing we had to focus of the 4 sustainable development goals that we are focusing on for our PBL (Project Based Learning) this term, we had to collect some statistics that could be used in our speeches and after we collected a few we had to write rhetorical questions based around those statistics that we could use in our introductions.

Hi everyone!  This week for writing we had to make an inforgraphic about one of the four sustainable development goals (or the SDGs) that we learnt about for out Project Based Learning for this term. I choose to do mine about zero hunger because I already have a lot of researched information on it because I did the same thing for my speech.

Here is my infographic: Zero Hunger

Have you ever made an infographic?

 Hi everyone! This week for writing we had to asses our speeches that we wrote and presented last week. We had to use this table thing to see if we met all the criteria for our speech. I personally think that I hit most of them but I still have room for improvement.

This is my rubric: Speech Rubric

Thank you for reading my blog!

Have you ever written a speech? If you have what was it about?

Writing T3 W1

Hi everyone! This week for writing we learnt about the fantastics which are basically "lenses" you can use when reading text to help you get a better understanding of it. The activity we had to do this week was reading the Hansel and Gretel story and then doing each activity for each plot point in the story. The four main plot points are Lost in the woods, Sinister dark woods, Witch description and Growing fatter & tricking the witch.

Do you think we should be worried? Why or why not?

Reading T3 W4

 Hi everyone! This week our reading goal was "Use questions to challenge the text, question the author, establish the authenticity of the text and state opinions". For our create task we had to make a screencastify of a conversation we would have discussing the topic and our opinions.

Maths T2 W11

Hi everyone! This week for maths we did shapes. We learnt about identifying if shapes are polyhedra and non polyhedra and if they were platonic solid or non platonic solid. For our DLO (Digital Learning Object) We had to make a copy of this empty chart and sort the shapes out.

Reading T2 W11

Hi everyone! This week my goal for reading was "Independently predict, interpret and analyse text, 'reading between the lines' to gain deeper meaning". We learnt about inferring the text that we're reading basically just learning to make assumptions based on the information we already had.

Our DLO (Digital Learning Object) for this week was making assumptions/inferring the text that we choose to read. I read the short story How to fall by Whiti Hereaka.

Thank you for reading my blog!

Have you ever inferred while reading?

Reading T2 W10

Hi everyone! This week for my goal for reading was "Making connections - use prior knowledge to connect to the text. Make connections between texts and own life experiences, using more sophisticated texts". We learnt about making connections between the stories we read and real life events. For the learning part of our workshop we had to read one text from the three we got to choose from, then of course we had to read through them and make connections between the text and real life events. After we read our text we had to do our DLO (Digital Learning Object). Our DLO was basically just making a poster or visual explanation of our connections and explaining why those were connected to real life.

Do you have any connections from my personal experiences?

Hi everyone! This week our maths goal was " Use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers- Rounding and Compensating". We learnt about rounding and compensating whole numbers and decimals in both multiplication and division. For our DLO (Digital Learning Object) we had to make a poster or google slide or any other visual explanation of our strategy and at least 6 examples from the practice questions we had done.

Have you ever done this strategy?

Writing T2 W8

Hi everyone! This week for writing we had to plan our narrative writing story. We had to go on a google drawing that would help us with planning our narrative. The google drawing had two different paths you could take for your story and based on those you could choose which videos to watch for inspiration for your story the google drawing also had links to Pobble 360 and an article with picture prompts that you could use for your story. Then after you figured out an idea for your story you had to use a plot template to plan out your story in a more visual way.

This is my plot template: Plot template

Have you ever written a narrative? If you have what was it about?

Reading challenge T2 W8

Hi everyone! This week for our reading we had to do a reading challenge. The reading challenge challenged us to read three books and then do an activity based on it, the activities were all on a folder in our google drive. We just had to choose one to do for each book. Also the three books that we read had to be three different genres. The first book I read was Unexplained Mysteries: The Bermuda Triangle by Ray McClellan. The activity I choose to do was an A-Z list. I had to find words from the book I read and order them from A-Z. The second book I read was Hurricane by Jessica Rudolph. The activity I did was a book review. I think most people already know what a book review is but if you don't it's basically just again a review on a book or a summary. The last book I read was National Geographic Readers: Water by Melissa Stewart. The activity I choose to do on it was Create a test.

Maths T2 W8

Hi everyone! This week for maths we had to choose a maths activity to do. There were three choices beginner, levelling up and advanced. I choose beginner because i thought the strategies fit me well.

Then we had to answer the questions on the google drawing for beginner. We had to use the strategies that were on top of the questions. And finally we had to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) with four questions that we did.

T2 W7 Maths

Hi everyone! My maths goal this week was "Use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers & decimals (Doubling & Halving)". We learnt how to do proportional adjustment to multiplication and division problems with decimals. For our DLO we had to make a google drawing explaining how to do the strategy and some of the example questions we did in our workshop.

Here is my google drawing: Google Drawing

Reading T2 W7

Hi everyone! This week's reading goal was "visualise using all of the senses, and talk about how this enriches meaning". We learnt about about how writers use adjectives and metaphors so that their readers can visualise the scene in their head. One of out tasks in the workshop was to choose a sentence to analyse that were from books. We had to analyse what the author meant and what senses (touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell) they used in that sentence. For our DLO we had to do basically the same thing but the difference was we had to look for our own sentences from the first chapter of a book. I choose the book "The Light Between Worlds".

This is my google drawing with my 3 sentences: Google Drawing
