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.

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.
