WALT skim read to locate specific information

Hello bloggers, this week was the last week of term 1. The book I did was ‘The Monster That Swallowed the Moon’.  It was about a girl or boy called Finch. He or she wanted to be a hero, but was still ordinary. But then a problem arises, the sun gets covered by clouds and Finch’s mother becomes ill.  She then stops the dragon, after a long journey, with a thorn and her family lives happily ever after (that’s pretty much what happened).

Create Task 1

For Create Task 1, I decided to make the book cover for the book that we chose, not the whole journal cover on the front of normal journals. This was on a Google drawing. The instructions also said that we had to include the illustrator and author too. I made Finch out of circles and the dragon, from a picture that I removed the background from. Check my cover out!!!!

Hello bloggers

This week was week 10, my book for the week was called Red, The Pig and the Automobile. It was basically Little Red Riding Hood but different. The Wolf dressed up as a pig and met Little Red and kinda wanted to eat her, so the plot was kinda the same.

Create Task 1

For Create Task 1, I decided to make a story map. It had the boxes for the Title and Author, Setting, Main Characters, Supporting Characters, and then Problem and Solution. This was on a Google drawing. This was definitely the easiest Create Task. Here is my story map!!!

Create Task 2

For Create Task 2, I decided to do the interview for a change. First we had to make 5 questions and 5 answers to those questions. This was on a google drawing. After we had done that we had to record ourselves reading the questions and answers, but we had to, like, change voices every time it changed from question and answer.

Create Task 3

For Create Task 3 I decided to do the comic strip again. There were 5 boxes that we could put pictures in, to make the events in the story, this was on a Google Drawing as some of you that have done it know. I used circles to make most of the characters from the story, but there were only like 3 characters, here is my work:)!

Hello bloggers, this week was the 2nd to last to the end of the term. For this week I had to do the book “Chaos”. It was about an alien planet that had a football ban, and had it for 10,000 yrs already! But 2 young aliens change that. Because when they get exiled to earth, their king is watching the football game without riots and he rethinks the decision of the ban:).

Create Task 1

For Create Task 1, I decided to do a story map. This was on a Google drawing. It was just like a writing story map but for reading and it was digital. This was a good task and quite easy for doing it based on this book. I would recommend this for future. Here it is.

Create Task 2

For Create Task 2, I decided to make a comic strip. This comic strip had five sections, and we had to put five of the the events in the story, in each box, in the right order. This was on a google drawing. Since it would take ages to line draw the characters, I made their bodies circles and arms circle too. The only way you could tell that they were alien was their alien hair. Check it out!!!

Hello bloggers,

For this weeks reading topic we were doing things to do with swimming, we also did this last week so we had to do a different book this week. Instead of polar bear swim (which I did last week) I did staying Alfoat. It was about 2 kids called Kele and Vika when they go fishing with their grandpa, but Kele doesn’t want to put a life jacket on. But when they go fishing Kele learns a good lesson.

Create Task 1

For Create Task 1, we had to write down some of the 5 main events in the story on a Google slide. So first, I made a google slide. Then, I wrote down the events in chronological order. Afterward, I took screenshots of the five events from the book, and put them in the right slides that they related too. Have a look!!!

Create Task 2

For Create Task 2, we had to create a picture of one of the characters in your book, on a Google drawing. After you’d done that you would have to brainstorm some words that describe your character. To make the character I used the curve and poly line line tool. Here is my Google drawing!!!!!!

Hi guys, this week was all about swimming, we’re even swimming this week. I decided to do Polar bear swim. It was about 2 kids going to Kaiteriteri beach when it was 13 degrees. Then, after they’ve toweled themselves off, and had something good to eat, they know that swimming at 13 degrees in mid-winter swim was worth it.

Create Task 1

For Create Task 1, I had to make a summary of my book. I decided to do this on a google drawing. First I made a text box and wrote the summary. After I added some images into it and then the title of the book itself. Check my Google Drawing out!!! (Make sure to comment if I could improve).

Create Task 2

For Create Task 2, I needed to record myself reading my book. I found this a little bit easy because my book was 2 pages, but it still took me 2 tries. We had to do this on Canva. first I did my recording, then, I added some images that relate to the actual story, like swimming and the beach. I did this on a Canva Poster. Check my recording out!!! (comment about it please).
