Come Down Golden Chapter 1 Task

Today for this task I made a google drawing apout the occurances in chapter 1 of Come Down Golden. We are learning to infer. When you infer you sort of read betwean the lines and you think more in depth into the story. 

I have infered that it has been very hard for Louis because he is in a wheelchair.  

I enjoyed making the character and making the drawing in general. I didn't really find anything tricky. Next I would make the charicter talk more.

Come Down Golden pre reading

 Today I was learning to hypothissise when you hypothissise you use the data you all ready hanve and you predict whats going to hapen judging by the data you all ready have. I found it chalenging to hypothisise just by data from the back of the book. My digital learning object shows my hypothisis from what I have read from the Book so far. Next time I would add more to my hypothisis.

Here is my hypothisis. 

I hypothesise that because he can’t have a dog Louis tries to tame the golden monkey, but his parents find out and tell him to give him back to the zoo then Golden runs up the tree and doesn’t come down so he struggles to teach him.

Reading. no girls alowed

This week I was learning to identify the charicters and/or authors point of view when you do this you read a book and think of the characters point of view in that book of story. 

I found it chalenging to catch up with mu group because I was away on Monday.

My digital learning object shows a beatituds slideshow, a doc where our group thought of the prospecties of the charicter from the book no girls alowed. and some slides for social justice week. 

Next time I will change the pictues on the beatitudes poster because they were not very good 

5 facts about the paralympics.

This week I was learning about the paralympics. 

I found it challenging to find facts that I understand.

My digital learning object shows 5 facts about the paralympics.

Next time I would change the background.

 

The healing powers of Rimu

This week I was learning to sumemaise. When you summarise you get some of the key information from a website and make it shorter so its easier to read.

I found it challenging to notice the full stops and capital letters so I had to go back in forth a lot.

My digital learning object shows my poster that will soon be on a sign in the healing garden to show people what the plant is and what you can do with it. 

On my poster I chose the rimu tree and how you can beat the leaves in to a pulp to make sores go away faster.

Next time I woud make the pencil darker because it is hard to see the text in the image.

Slides about Japan.

This week I was learning to skim and scan wich is where you quikly skim through a artacle or a book and scan for all of the juicey facts and stuff so you can get all of your data without spending 30 minutes looking through a book. I Found it chalenging to put all of the facts about food in Japan in one slide. My digital learning object shows a set of 4 slides with 3 diferant thing about Japan. Next time I will change the font that the text is in.

I didnt finish this because I was to buisy changeing the fonts and background

Olympic facts.

This week I was learning how to skim and scan. When you skim and scan you read something like an article. The you read it again and you skim around and scan for only the good and juicy facts so you don't need to spend 30 minutes and only getting a little bit of the good facts. I found it challenging to get enough stuff about the 4th medal because eavry article prety much says the same thing. My digital learning object shows that I can skim and scan so I don't waste time learning about stuff. Next time I would change the amount of facts in the anchent Olympics slide. I didnt finish this because I forgot lots of important imfomation.

matariki

This week I was learning to compare and contrast when you compare and contrast you font difrences and similarities.

I found it challenging to find similarities between matariki in maori and sabaru in japan.

My digital learning object shows the similarities and difrinses between matariki in maori, sabaru in japan, pleiades in greek and kiowa.

Next time I would change the similarities  between because the similarite was pretty obvious.

 

The Labyrinth.

This week I was learning to infer. When you infer you get a question from in a story but there is no real answer in the text so you use the text to get closer until you get the answer. It's like you are looking for clues.

I found it challenging to think of why I disagre that Theseus is not a hero because he betrayed the princess.  My digital learning object shows a Labyrinth that Jacob A, James  and I built on slides together. I have also blogged our evaluate task where we put why we agree and disagree that theseius is a hero or not because he betrayed the princess. 

Next time I would change the walls of the Labyrinth because they where just black and that was boring.

Here is the Labyrinth and evauate task.

Sign langusage!

This week I was learning how to analyse and synthesise which means to gather imfomation and then use it  to make/ do stuff. Just like I learned how to say my name in sign language then I made a screencast of me saying that. The thing that I really enjoyed was learning about sign language. I found it challenging to find a quiet spot to do my screencasts. My digital learning object shows me saying my name is Baxter in sign language. Next time I would change the speed of which I was talking because I was talking too fast and it is hard to understand.. 

                  Here is my first atempt at the screen catsify. It wasn't final because I did the E wrong. 

And here is my final atempt.
