I understand the features of different types of texts and text forms.

WALT: I understand the features of different types of texts and text forms. Text features are important because they make variety in what you read, so everything is a bit different and you don't get bored as quickly, but they are also written differently.

Each genre has different text features because they are a text, so they would have to have some type of text feature in them

Two genres that I studied the text features of are website and explanations

I can describe the structure of a Short Story

Something I have learned about the structure of short stories is everything in them happens quite quickly and they get to the point almost right away.

After reading some short stories two things I will remember when I write my own short story are to try and get to the main plot/problem of the story quickly and use descriptive words to describe what is happening in the story

The Flag

Last week Rooms 25, 26, and 27 did some learning about the flag. We had to pair up and do a worksheet about why to keep the current flag and why we should change the flag
Here is the worksheet, click on the word "here" to access it.

For the worksheet we had to research things about the flag, and fill in the worksheet with what we found.

I can apply the effective strategies when researching using the Google Search Engine.

Year 9/10 - I can find, select and use a range of texts for specific learning purposes in different tasks in hand learning areas of the curriculum.

For my “Evaluating Leaders” research I have been researching about JK Rowling and Sir Edmund Hillary

During this unit I have had to use a range of strategies to find the information I needed on Google. This included:

Researching their strengths and weaknesses, and on my plan referenced where I got the information and cross-checked the information that I got.

I have achieved this goal by letting others help me when I was stuck/ in the pit and trying my best to get it complete

My next step is to set a new reading goal.
