This week for reading for LS2 we talked about Hone Tauwhare the famous poet from Ateoroa, and we also listened to some of his poems and they were great !
So for our task for reading this week was making a google video and reading ot one of his peom and the one I picked was “Rain” and also use Adobe Exspress to use AI to create photos of the sentences and put all the photos in the google video.
One thing I liked about this task was using Adobe Exspress.
For reading we learnt about how Malala Yousafzai protested for the rights of girls to educate. She was a sixteen year old girl who said a huge and powerful speech to the world on why girls should educate, she had been stopped by the Taliban by getting shot on her head, but that didn’t stop her from delivering that woman should be educated and boys and girls should be equal.
I created this poster of her quotes, and one of her quotes were “One child, one teacher, and one pen can change the world.”
LI: To identify the key historical context and events related to the Polynesian Panthers and the Dawn Raids as depicted in the graphic novel.
We read the text Once a Panther and asked to create a comic strip that depicts a scene related to the ideas of prejudice, justice, or taking a stand in today’s world using thought bubbles or dialogue that explains the image. Something I found interesting about this challenge was that i could make some cool scenarios.
LI: To evaluate (form an opinion) the text and respond to the provocation
We read the text RISE UP: The Story of the Dawn Raids and the Polynesian Panthers and asked to create a DLO that explores and discusses both perspectives of this historical event in our groups.
Something I found interesting about this text was that some of the group members from Polynesian Panthers went to go to the politicians house and dawn raided them in there own way and gave a taste of there own medicine to the politician.
LI – To retell an event in history through the fictional eyes of someone who was there.
On the first week of term two Mrs Andersons group for reading have been looking at the events that took place at ANZAC Cove on 25 April 1915, during WW1. Some NZ soldiers were wounded or killed in action.
We looked at some videos of life in the trenches, and explored the Walking with ANZACs site and had a look at Hami Grace’s diary. Doing this helped us put our own diary together.
Then we used Google Vids to record our diary that we wrote before.
I enjoyed using this as it allowed me to share my ideas and learn more about the war. And something i found interresting was how i got the chance to have a look at Hami Grace’s diary.
This week for reading we have been focusing on revision. Revision means looking at something previously read or studied to memorise it or change it or improve it. We are revising our comprehension skills because we have testing soon. I chose to read the story Hot-Wheels Off Roading by Ed Wisinski and Dave White. I read it for 15 minutes then I completed this SSR Selfie. I would recommend this book to other because if you own your own Hot Wheels toys, you will read about them in the book.
My class was learning about sloths, hyenas, jaguars and coyotes. So here is my work.
