Gruffalo

To re write a story you need to change the character, the setting, where the character met the mouse and when the mouse describes the gruffalo's favourite food. 

The change I made was changing the mouse into a squirrel. The squirrels setting is a underground house. I also changed the gruffalo's favourite food to Fox soup.

LI: To re write a narrative. 

Reading-Conections

Making connections is when you use text to self, text to text, and text to world.

Text to self means to make another connection with other books. For example The gruffalo is very big and the is scary. Also the book jack and the beanstalk has someone big and scary. 

Text to text means to make a connection to yourself. For example the mouse was brave when he scared the other animals away. Also the BFG scares people away.

Text to world means to make a connection with the world . for example the owl took the mouse to his tree top house. In the book Master Crooks theirs old people that kidnaps kids.

Setting Description

A setting description is created by a picture of what a characters place looks like, smells like, feels like and sounds like.

To describe what it looks like use adjectives like small, camouflage and other adjectives.

To describe what it smells like use adjectives like use adjectives that use smelling.

To describe what sounds like use adjectives like windy and other adjectives that describe sounds like.

The four senses can help people build and understanding of what is been describe.

Risk

 This week we learnt about risks.

We rated situations on low risk, likely risk, possible risk, evaluated risk, and extreme risk. Low is In most cases are risks that can be  avoided by common sense. Likely in most cases can be avoided by common sense with application of skill. Possible are Risks that are contained by application of safety procedures. Evaluated is something that safety procedures only limit some danger. Extreme is something that out number the safety procedures and danger that is about to happen.

Later we wrote our own situations that match each risk level.

Low, Likely, possible, evaluated, and extreme, all describe different levels of risk.

LI - To access likelihood.

7x Tables and 9x Tables

Multiplication is counting the same number over and over. For example 9+9+9+9+9=45. For multiplication it is 9x5=45. For another example 7+7+7+7+7=34. For multiplication it would be
5x7=34.

These two slides below show the 9x tables and the 7x tables.

Metaphor

An Metaphor is a word or phrase that is used to make a comparison between two things. 
Metaphors are a kind of figurative language.  

For example the boy has ants in his pants. 
The main object is the boy. The comparison is the ants in his pants. And the meaning is the boy has ants in his pants.

Another example was she has the heart of a Lion.  The main object is the girl. The comparison is the heart. And the meaning is the girl's brave.

Metaphors help describe things.

L.I To describe things by metaphors.

Reseprical Reading

This week my group and I found pros and cons of food storage containers by using T-charts and the Reciprocal reading process.

First my group and I chose a container to read about. We read the text and summarised the information to get an idea of what the container was used for.

After reading the text we found the pros and cons of the container using a T-chart. 

This is a work in progress that will be finished next week.

L.I  To compare products using reciprocal reading.
