Show don't Tell

I was learning how to write a show don't tell story to add inference to my writing
This writing was easy for me because I have done this kind of writing before
It helped that I had done this style of writing before because I already knew how to do it
My next step is to try different styles of writing

My Speech

WALT write and present a speech
I don't like presenting speeches but I liked writing mine
It was hard to get the right time because you have to get it around 3 minutes
I got stuck when I had to write about Methylxanthines because I had to keep scrolling up and down to find out how to spell it
I could probably write my conclusion a bit better

Diary Post T2W8

This week we have been doing lots!

The first thing you need to know is Terrific Tuesday.

I may have told you about this in my last post but in this post I am going to explain it in more detail so you understand. 

Terrific Tuesday is when you go to a different classroom to learn something new.

There are 6 different classes that you can go to.

They are:

• Science

• Vintage Games

• Board games

• Art

• Putiputi (Making flax flowers)

• Japanese

You are supposed to choose up to 3, and the teacher puts you in 1 of your preferences.

I chose:

• Japanese

• Board games and

• Art!

I got put in number 2.

 Which is board games. 

Mrs P, (The teacher) calls it co-operative games.

The second thing I am going to tell you is about this new book we have been reading as a class.

 It is called the Green Book.

It is about this group of people that have moved out of earth to live on a new planet called shine because the earth and the sun were dying. 

They could only bring 4 things each and a book.

We are reading this because we are learning about the Solar System and what would happen if the earth suddenly became uninhabitable or unsafe for us to live on.

It's very interesting to read.

That is all for now but I will be back with more interesting stuff in the next one or two weeks!!!

Persuasive Techniques in Commercials

I was learning how to use Persuasive Techniques.
We had to make an advertisement.
Zoe and I had to:

• Make a slideshow
• Film the testimonials and then put them on YouTube
• Find images of fighting kids 
• Find the images of playing kids
• Put them on the slideshow
• Post the slide on my blog   

The persuasive techniques were:

• Testimonials
• Expert opinion
• Bandwagon
• Emotional appeal
• Slogan
• Repetition 

We used:

• Slogan
• Testimonials
• Bandwagon

We could probably improve the Testimonials.

Maori Roles Explaination

                                    

Maori Roles

Have you ever.. Been to a Powhiri?

If You have then have you noticed that women always sit at the back?

I have. The Maori culture has VERY specific roles for men and women.

In the Maori culture the men are in the front when doing a haka.

This is because they want to protect the women. Why? Well if I were the only woman in the whole wide world, if I died then there would eventually be no more babies and that means that there would be no more people. Everyone will be extinct. The men are also the providers. They hunt, fish, garden and forage. Why? Because the women are all busy with the children and the house., they don’t have time!  

But also, females have very important roles.

They need to look after the children. And also since teachers are usually ladies…

I mean seriously…    If it was your first day at school and as you were walking into your classroom…     and your teacher came out and started a haka and what’s more…      did a HUGE ukana at the end!! wouldn’t you be scared?!?!

Overall....   What I am trying to tell you is that women and men both have their own roles and duties and it is not sexist…

It is Tradition.

Reflection:

I was learning to write an explanation because we are reading the Whale Rider story.

I felt happy because it was REALLY easy.

I found it easy because we had some people around us helping us and reminding us what to do.

Next time, I need to use more technical words.

I was learning to use my senses to add more detail.
Next time I do this I need to add even more detail.

Post Card

    

In writing we have been learning to think about the writes point of view We are reading the book  

The Faraway Tree by enid blyton in class. The book is about a little girl called Connie whose mother is ill so she is sent to live with her mothers friend and her children. 

We have been talking about how connie might have felt and what she would have said to her mother. We wrote a post card to her mother trying to think about what connie would have said.

I found it hard to think about what to write .

I found it easy to take the screen shot.

Next time I need to work on writing more detail in my letter.
