School Uniform

I was able to write a letter to the Elm Park School management team about wearing a school uniform.  I liked this activity and I would like to do it again. In my letter I was able to use 7 persuasive words and 7 emotive words.  I agree that wearing a school uniform is a fantastic idea and I hope it never changes at Elm Park.

Diabetes

WALT: locate, select and evaluate text for specific information including internet sources

Refection

I was able to find information about Diabetes on the internet.  The first websites I went on were hard to understand because they weren't made for kids but I was able to find some kid friendly websites about Diabetes.

Next time I could try find some kid friendly websites about diabetes first and if I do find some websites that aren't made for kids I can put all the words I don't know in my word clarification sheet and then find a website for kids about diabetes.

Defenders running team uniforms

WALT: use a calculator accurately

Learning Refection

I was able to find 11 thing on Rebel sport that the Defenders track team would need. For this activity we had $2000 to spend on stuff for the Defenders from Rebel sport. I was also able to write 5 tips for people wondering how to use a calculator.

Next time I can use the calculator to find percentages and square roots. Like 4 is the square root or 16 and 50% is  0.5.

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.
