Presentating My Overall Review - Diary Of A Wimpy Kid:The last straw

Today for reading we got into our Read groups and shared our Chapter Book Presentations that we've been working on for the past few weeks. I really enjoyed all my groups presentation but I personally enjoyed Jeremiah's because his own cover of the book looked Interesting. His book was based on War and his cover of the book included a lot of dark colours. I also enjoyed Mataio's presentation because he had two important themes which were being together and having friendship. The book my group read were Billionaire Boy (Ofa), Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Mataio), A Winter Day in 1939 (Jeremiah), Alfie Bloom (Freeman), Josefa and the Vu (Nyjah), and Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Last Straw (Me).

Poetry Juxtaposition

This week's task for poetry was to first read a poem and then answer some questions and create some word clines, for the word clines we first needed to choose a word and then find all of the necessary synonyms for it. After that the task was to draw a line on some paper and then write down the synonyms that we'd written down onto the line in order from top to bottom depending on how important we found that one synonym.

In the summer I’m aroused to a snug and friendly breeze, all the pollen in the air always makes me sneeze.

After clambering into my uniform and leaving for school,

I wait for friends by a wall of hedges, relishing the blue and inviting sun.

In the winter I sullenly rise from my bed, chilled to the bone from the despairful air. After painfully getting into my uniform and slowly leaving the door, I sprint to school just to keep myself warm.

The Unfinished Drink

Today we read a poetry about La Tour Mollet d' Auvergne (Ted) this is about a person who did not finish his drink while they were about to go to war. So he gave the Bartender his drink at said "hold it don't break it or sell it ill drink it when I get back". But he never returned.

Memorial, Unknown Soldiers

Link to Spreadsheet 

For reading I have chosen one of my slide that I created in reading its about the unknown soldiers. Our theme for this term is about 'ANZAC Day' "least we forget." As I was researching I found these two tombs of two soldiers found dead without there remains being identify-ed.

Similes and Metaphors

For this term my reading group and I created a DLO about a story called King and Country. We worked collaboratively to create a DLO comparing the differences between Similes and Metaphors. The thing our group did great on was giving their ideas.

Big Nate and Friends

Today we used Tamaki College Over Drive. Since it is the 18th of September, we have been reminded that reading is really important and that it would help us get smarter. I read a really interesting book called the Big Nate And friends. It is a very fascinating comic book. Also I can read other books to in my own time. if you have some spair time and you dont have a book you can go read some books with the Tamaki College Over drive #EBOOKLOVE

Read Theory A great school

Today we started of with read theory it is a reading games that helps you under stand what you read with some questions after you finish reading and why we use read theory because it helps our reading and grows our knowledge it shows us the different texts types I like doing read theory because it helps me with my reading skills. It gets hard when you forget the story but you can always go back to the story read theory gives you a stage to start with then you can build it up by reading and getting the questions right.
