Identifying Bias

                                                                My Reflection
I was learning to identify bias in a chapter in a book called The Whale Rider.  I found this easy because last year we did something called Author Bias which is kinda similar. My next step is to find where there is biased in a different part of The Whale Rider.

Whale Rider Venn Diagram

My Reflection

I was learning to make a Venn Diagram so we could compare the characters Nanny Flowers and Koro Apirana in the book the Whale Rider. You had to compare them with yourself so we used Venn Diagram.  I found this kind of easy because I could somehow relate to them.  My next step is to relate to different characters in different stories.

Ways People Speak

                                               My Reflection
I was learning to identify the different meanings of words other than said.I found this easy because I know heaps of words instead of said.My next step is to understand all of the meanings.

Thumbelina Language Features

                                                           My Reflection
I was learning to identify all the adjectives,adverbs and similes in the fairy tale, Thumbelina. I found this easy because I knew what to find and what to do. My next step is to work on Language Features.

Determining Credibility

                                                                My Reflection
I was learning to decide either if the website was good or bad.I found this easy because the questions were not that hard.My next step is to do that for all websites.

Fact Or Opinion

Fact Finding in Non-Fiction Texts

                                                             My Reflection
I am learning to find and summarise information in non-fiction texts by skimming and scanning.I found this easy because I found skimming and scanning easy. My next step is to use more strategies with non-fiction.



                                                   

Kensuke's Kingdom Character Interview

                                                My Reflection
I was learning to use my experiences to relate to the characters. I had to pretend to be Michaels parents.I found this easy because I have read books that is similar to Kensuke's Kingdom.

Kensuke's Kingdom -Extending Knowledge

                                               My Reflection

I was learning to extend my knowledge of new vocabulary. I had to guess what the words meant and then find definition.  I had found this easy because I had done this sort of activity before. My next step is to use these words regularly.

Chapter 2 Kensuke's Kingdom

                                                          My Reflection
I was learning how to use diagrams and labels to understand and interpret information. We had to choose a animal Michael saw and find 10 facts about it.I choose the Dolphin because I liked Dolphins.It was easy ish to find the information because there was lots of websites about Dolphins. My next step is to use diagrams when I need to explain something.

Making Connections

My Reflection

I was learning to identify character traits and compare characters based on these traits.  I had to find out what the character looked like, how it got treated and how he treated people,the other box and how it felt.  The easiest traits was the other box because the author didn't tell much and it only told the things that fitted the other box.
