WALT : Actively contribute to discussions and listen and respond to the ideas of others.
We have been doing an activity on a book we read called "Break-up day" and we summarised about it. We answered questions and did a worksheet on something we did.
Q1 : How to the subheading support the main idea?
A1 : It supports the main idea by hinting the reader on what the story will be about in the passage
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q2 : Is this a good title for the book? Why or why not?
A2 : i think Roar is a good title for the book due to one of the passages saying "Jack carries a cow horn to intimidate deer calls" because deers have a roar to call other deer or to find the other deer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q3 : What is the authors purpose in writing this selection?
A3 : In a passage there's a subheading that says "the deer problem?" and its bout how the deers were not native to nz. the british brought the deer here in the mid 1800s and because there were no predators so their population grew and started damaging the native bush and that's how hunters are actually helping our bush live.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q4 : Locate a heading. How does it help the reader understand the paragraph?
A4 : The heading "stealthy" Gives the reader a hint the paragraph will be all about how the people in the book be stealthy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q5 : What is the theme of this selection?
A5 : The theme is about a family hunting deers and what they do to hunt down and catch deer.
Q1 : What inspires you to learn.
A1 : What inspires me to learn is the knowledge that I can gain for my future and the knowledge I can gain for my dream job.
Q2 : What do you want to be when you are older?
A2 : I want to be a doctor that works with cancer and I want to be a at home scientist so maybe I could find a cure for people with cancer
City of Ember chapter 3
In chapter 3 Doon worked at the pipeworks after he traded jobs with Lina. When he entered the pipeworks the air smelt like old rubber due to the water. He saw many yellow stickers when he entered the pipeworks. After he got ready for his job he went to work in tunnel 97 which was complicated to get to. He went down some stairs but heard a roar that got louder and louder and he went down but the roar was just the river flow. He had never heard a roar as heartstopping as the river. There's a lot of workers at the generator to replace parts that fell off so the generator would keep running to keep the town lights operating. Doon understands lots of things but doesn't really know much about electricity. The reason why the generator is in the pipeworks is because the generator runs from the river, that's called hydroelectricity. Doon has a father that owns a tool shop. Lister is the person Doon met when he walked in, Lister was the pipeworks manager. So no one really understands how the generator runs from water and that's why they just sort the generator and not focus on seeing is the river is the problem.
