Exploring our national current events

 LI: To identify author’s purpose.

Authors write for a purpose (reason). These reasons are to persuade, inform or entertain (PIE). Each day, newspaper editors around the world must make desicions about which stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening in New Zealand, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map.

Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

 LI: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion?

A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today we considered both sides of the provocation, ‘Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’ We then used that infomration to help us form an opinion that we could justify with evidence. The thing I found interesting is that Michal Baker is on Tv every morning

Main Idea/Embarrassment

  L.I To find out the main idea 

This DLO is about the Main Ideas in the book this book is called the Embarrassment poem. I worked with Akuhata. We needed to read the book twice to find out the main details that will help others and yourself understand the main Idea. As you can see in this DLO that we think that the MAIN IDEA is knowing how to handle Embarrassment. Working with my friends was really fun and enjoying because we shared our ideas and we were collaborating,working as a team. The thing that i liked about this poem is how it tell us the secret to not be embarrassment like for an example you can jest laugh

it all out till the people that is laughing at you has left.

Reading with RJ

Today RJ helped me to read and he asked me some questions from the where, who, what, when, where dice. I'm very proud of myself as I tried hard to say the words that were new to me.  I had the confidence to read the book and could talk about it when RJ asked me questions. This was a fun activity.

Vincent van Gogh Timeline

 LI: To create a timeline to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh.

My group worked collaboratively using Padlet to create a timeline about the life of Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh was an artist from the post impressionist movement which meant he liked to paint still life paintings that captured a moment in time. We found it really interesting that while he was alive he didn't sell many paintings but in 1990, 100 years after his death, a painting by him sold for $82.5 million!

Evaluating a Text

LI: To read the information in the text, think about what you have read and form an
opinion  

We read the story ‘The Protest March’ then made connections between what is
happening in the world now. We used the information in the story and our prior
knowledge to help us form an opinion.

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

LI: To retell True Story of the 3 Little Pigs in my own words

Today my group read the True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. After listening to the story we used the retelling pathway to help us retell the main events in pairs. My favourite part was when the wolf ran out of sugar because he looked really annoyed in the picture.I made a Screencastify so you can listen to me retell the story in my own words.
