Show Don't Tell

WALT makes inferences about a character's feelings.

This week we read a story called Timo and his shorts. It was about this boy called Timo and he got some new shorts so he can go for a swim at school with his friends. Then he had a big problem when he got to the changing shed to get changed but his shorts were gone.

I found it easy to talk about Timo’s face,body,and voice.

I really enjoyed talking about Timo’s reactions and feelings and what he might be thinking.

Patly cloudly

We are learning to infer and make predictions when we are reading.

This week me and my class did Literacy. In Literacy we watched a video called Partly Cloudy. The whole class watched the video and then we went to our tables to put our information in our slide of T-Shaped. 

We were learning how to make inferences using the book Wheke.

I found it easy to put information in my Literacy slide.

I found hard to make some inferences.

I really enjoyed watching the video to get my information.

Next time I need to try thinking about the clues in the text to help me more.

I am water

We were learning about a poem called I am water. The poem was about how water travels from the mountains to rivers and the sea.

I found it easy to find all the nouns and make the design. I tried doing maori patterns for my border.

I found it hard to understand some of the words in the poem. So then I made a copy of the Glossary and researched the definition of the words I didn't know.

I really enjoyed working on and doing the design.

Next time I need to find all the language features.

 

T-shape

For T-Shaped Literacy I was learning about language features. Language features are what authors use in their storys to make there reader´s make a picture in their mind.

I found it easy to find the language features and write about it and find what I need from the text.

I found it hard to find some of the language feature´s like metaphors.

I really enjoyed to write the words in the slide.

Next time I need to use the Language Features Toolbox to remind me what some of the language features are .
