QAR questions

I used QAR template and Synthesis template to help me with a text called pointless, painful, physical education. This text was a persuasive text pesuasive means to change someones beliefs. 

First I did the synthesis egg teplate, for this task I wrote my prioyknowldge, new information, and new understandings. My prioyknowledge is something that I already know. New information is something that I know now, and new understandings is things that I understand about the text. 

After I answerd all the questions and put them in the boxes: right there, think and search, author and you, and  on my own. 

-right there means the answer is in the text. 

- think and search means the answer is in the text but you have to search and think about the answer in the text

- author and you mean the answer is no in the text but you use your background knowldge.

- on my own means the answer is in your own understandings. 

Skimming/ Scanning

 This week we used skimming and scanning to understand a book called Against the odds. 

Scanning is the same as skimming but scanning is hovering over a text and trying to look for the the main facts. 

Skimming is the same but skimming is just going thorugh the text without stoping.       

For this activty I used skimming and scanning. I used skimming to find the keywords and use thoses keywords to find more information. I used scanning to find the main ideas so I could understand the text more and to put my facts into chronlogical order.

Next I made a table mat to find keywords, facts, ect.

I learnt a lot from doing this activty cause skimming and scanning helped by helping me find keywords and learning a lot about paralympics and other texts. 

Keywords

All text inclued a range of words to share information with the reader

 Keywords are words that unlock more information. 

For Example Latrines are holes in the ground that people back in the day used to go toliet. Latrines were put in the barracks. 

Keywords can help unlock more information and help understand the word.

Marc learnt the trade of a bulider and owend his own buisnness. After that he worked for bunnings fitting out their stores. Marc also is a NewZealand lightweight champ in boxing fight for life. He now manages the largest store in NewZealand, which is in Hamilton. 

Character Trait / The Horse

Character trait is used to describe a characters personalty by using adjectives and facts about the character. 

For example the horse is kind because in the story he doesn't step on the ants. This shows that the horse is thoughtful. 

A character trait is important so that you can learn about a characters personalty and what the character does in the story.

Fact or Opinion

I completed a task for my fact and opinion. 

First I wrote facts about the horse from the highway rat story. 

Then I wrote opinions that match the facts. Then I wrote  five adjectives that describe the horse. Then I did the rest of the boxes.  

A fact is something that you know that is true and you can prove it. A opinion is something that you think about the fact. Like the horse is helping a friend. 

I liked this task because I learnt what different adjectives meant and different names for that adjective. 

The Highway Rat

 Visualisation is seeing a picture or an image in your head by listening to words that describes that image. 

Visualisation is important because if your reading a book with no pictures you can visualise what the pictures look like. 

The story is about a rat the thinks he owns the highway. Then he steals other animals food and if they have no food he steals what ever they have. In the end he gets scared of himself and realises why the other animals are scared of him.  

My Visualisation is different to others because I drew a fat rat and I used up all the space in the boxes.  

We have different Visualisation because some people listened to the other details like the rat riding on a horse and some people drew people and cars because the rat was on a highway. 

SSR Selfie| Anders

 I read 9 pages of Anders,by Gregory Mackay. 

The story is about a new kid name Bernie that started school and boys being mean to him on his first day but a boy named Anders. Anders sees Bernie sitting by himself and gives him half of his sandwich then become friends. 

I really liked this book because Anders didn't leave Bernie by himself and was a good friend.

Visualizing

   This week for reading I learnt how to write a character trait & fact or opinion.

The facts and opinions was about the characters from gruffalo book.

For the character trait I wrote the things about the characters and what they did in the story.

I enjoyed this activity because I got to describe what kind of character they are and got to learn more about these characters.

Visualizing

Visualizing is reading or listing to a book without looking at the pictures. Then getting a picture in you head about the story, and drawing it.

The gruffalo use the visualizing reading strategies, It talks about the mouse tricking people by picturing how the gruffalo looks in a bad way.

The nograd use the same reading strategies, it also helps us visualize a picture in our about how he looks.

Visualizing is a very good reading tool you can use, to improve your reading skills.

LI- To visualize the parts of the story.

T-chart/Reciprocal reading

This week we found pros and cons of pros and cons food storage containers by using T-charts and the reciprocal reading process.

The first thing my group and I chose a containers to read about. We read the text and summarised the Information to get an idea what the containers were used for. 

After reading the text we found the pros and cons of container using a T-chart. We used the images to think about to think about what challenges were and what we needed for the challenges. 

Then we repeated  this process for other containers to find containers that were suitable for our purposes. 

This is an working progress that will be finished next week.

Dippy dinner drippers/ Space food

 Similarity and differences talks about the text, it can also help figuring out stuff.

There are different types of ways to spot differences and similar things one way you can spot it is by using a Venn diagram.

we had spot the differences and similarity by using a Venn diagram.  

I found the differences and similar things by using Dippy Dinner Drippers  and Space Food. Something similar of both are they both talk about eating.

I felt happy after this activity because now I know the method about using a Venn diagram.
