Littering

I did persuasive agruement based on littering. 

My arguement is to stop littering beacause its bad for the enivoment. I went to websites to find information about why littering is bad. 

I wrote an exaplaintion why littering is bad to persuaive people to not litter. I linked all my topics with my websites. 

This was a good activty to help me persuaive people to win an arguement based on facts and good reasons.

Americas cup

I learnt about the Americas cup my group. 

I read texts and videos to get information and facts about the Americas cup. I sorted them in to main idea about who, what, where, why, when.

Next we summarised the main ideas and wrote 20 words from the text. Then we wrote 6 words that we thought were important. Then we used the 6 important words to sum up the text in sentences. 

After that we evaluated the information and wrote what the text was about, what interesting facts you've learnt from reading the text, and then I wrote down questions that I wanted to know about the Americas cup.

These strategies are helpful to use because they allow you to understand lots of information quickly.
