Speeches 2017

WALT: deliberately choose words to create an effect on the audience.

Learning Reflection

In my speech I was able to use 12 persuasive words and only six emotive words. An example of a persuasive word is firstly and an example of an emotive word is unfair.

Next time I could try using more emotive words in my writing and continue using persuasive words in my equipt writing.

Celebrations dance

WALT: understand how people celebrate in different ways.
                                                         
                                                                         Reflection
I was able to understand and find out about different ways to celebrate by searching different celebrations on the internet and adding them to my slideshow.

Next time I can put in more detail and add more information to my slideshow and do the backgrounds and images last instead.

Ghost by Jason Reynolds

WALT: make a prediction based on the cover and blurb of Ghost by Jason Reynolds.

Reflection

I was able to use the blurb, pictures and cover to make predictions on the book Ghost by Jason Reynolds.  I found this a bit tricky to do because I didn't understand some of the words in the blurb.

Next time when I choose a book from the library or when I choose a book from a book store I could look at the cover ,blurb and title and make predictions.  

Usain Bolt

Walt : locate and evaluate information about Usain Bolt on the internet

Refection
I chose these facts about Usain Bolt because they seemed interesting and some of them were surprising. I found it very easy to find facts because all I had to do was type in Usain Bolt and then I clicked on the Wikipedia and found about 7 facts.

Next time I could try and find some more information about Usain Bolt and write my sentences more specifically.
