Narrative Plan

This is my narrative plan.  I had to get all of this info through reading the book that we were doing our narrative on (we had to do it on a section of the book), Between 2 Ends.  I thought my Narrative, in the end, was quite good.  The first column explains the setting of the narrative, the second column explains the main character of the actual story (Yeats) and the main character of my narrative (Shahrazad).

Wrinkle in time - Being different

We have been reading a book called the Wrinkle in time at school and the main character, Meg, is different to everyone else.  This activity shows how I am different to some other people.

Prediction - own Choice Novel

This is the novel I chose for this activity - Glory in the Cup - a cricket novel.  I play cricket and I have read other books in the series.  That is why I chose this book.

Prediction - A Wrinkle in Time

This is a prediction for a book that we are reading in class called A Wrinkle in Time.  It is a good book.

Reading Challenge

This is my reading challenge.  This year, our class is doing a challenge where you have to read 20 different types of novels.
Will you try the challenge?

Identifying Bias

My Reflection: This is a activity about the word bias. What we did was we tried to identify a character called Koro Apirana being bias to another character called Kahu. I chose these parts as examples of bias because it shows Koro Apirana being grumpy with Kahu because of what she was doing - Kahu was only 3 and she just wanted Koro Apirana to show affection.  The chapter was from a book we are reading called the Whale Rider.


I thought that this activity was very tricky, seeing as I do not know too much about the word bias.  It is a small word, but it has lots of meanings.  

Whale Rider Triple Bubble Venn Diagram

This is the Triple Bubble Venn Diagram that I made.  It is comparing me with 2 characters from the Whale Rider novel.  I quite enjoyed this activity.  Next time,  I will describe the other characters more.

Figurative Language Activity

This is my activity on figurative language that I did today.  It was about finding figurative language in stories.

This a LEARNZ Shakeout activity that me and a partner did.  We got 90%.

LEARNZ Shakeout Video #2

This is a response from the second LEARNZ shakeout video.  It was about teachers talking about what happened in the earthquake.

Learnz Shakeout

Yesterday (Thursday 15 October) We had an Audio-conference with Learnz about Earthquakes and what you do or need in  an earthquake.  These are notes I took from the Audioconference.

We also did the Shakeout drill a couple hours before the conference.

Learning to Compare Naratives using a Venn Diagram

This is My Venn Diagram that compares the stories Jack and the Beanstalk and Trev and the Kauri Tree.  In the middle is the things that happen in both stories.  On the sides is what happened in the individual stories.  Sorry if can't read the words in the middle - I just couldn't fit it in!!  

Fact / Opinion Task - Planning a Mural

This is another fact and opinion task that I did.  I enjoyed it, like the one I did before.  I would like to do more.

Learning to do a Readers Response

This is My Reader's response about a book called Caesar the Anzac dog.  I did it with a buddy and on my own.  Our teacher, Mrs Hodge, read the book to us.  In this Reader's response I think I did well. It is my first one for this year. I would like to do more of them.  Enjoy!

LEARNZ: The Routeburn track field trip audioconference questions

My Reflection:
This is my second audioconference I have asked questions for.  I think it was interesting.  We also listened to an audioconference by some other schools.  Next time I will try to speak louder.  

After the Storm

My Reflection:
These  are my After the Storm comprehension questions.   After the Storm is a cool book.  I enjoyed doing this activity.
