Chinese language week - Reading

 Hey bloggers!

WALT: Use personal information and literacy knowledge to make meanings from texts.

This week there are no book choices for reading but at least we still have the creates task to do. Basically everything is about Chinese. Because it is Chinese language week. This week we have 4 create tasks to do.

For the 1st create task we have recreate a comic about our favorite scene in the play about where there is lots of animal having a race and a selfish rat comes 1st place. But we can do the comic on our Chromebooks or on paper. I did my comic on paper because I kinda like drawing. But it might be really ugly because I rushed it.

For the 2nd create task we had to choose what animal is used in the culture from where we are from as a symbol. Then we had to write 4 - 5 sentences comparing the Chinese dragon and the animals from your culture. Then the fast finishers had to create a vector drawing about a Chinese dragon.

For the 3rd one we had to Use a color code and color in and complete an agamorgragh about a ox. Because it's the year of the Ox this year.

So then for the 4th create task we have to write our name in Chinese with an website. When we've found our name we had to practice writing our name in Chinese on a piece of paper.

I have not finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th but I have finished the 1st.

Here it is:

You can't really see it though.

But I've hoped you enjoyed what I have done so far.

Rata and the totara tree - Reading

  Hey Bloggers!

WALT: Analyse and evaluate the actions and storylines of Maori myths and legends.

This week at school for reading, the whole class including me, we only for 4 book choices. Since it maori language week, all the 4 book choices were like moari or something.

These are the 4 book choices: The creation of night and day, Kupe and the giant wheke (Octopus), How Maui discovered fire and the last one is Rata and the Totara tree. So the book that I chose to read about it Rata and the Totara tree.

The book Rata and the totara tree is about, This guy named Rata found this very tall tree and he started chopping it down. Later when it was chopped down he went to bed or something, The next day he went back to the tree and saw it standing back up, as if he never ever even chopped it down. Then he kept doing the same thing for 1 or 2 more days. Then at night he was watching if if stood back up. Then he saw lots and lots of animal fixing it back up. Then he said what were they doing with his tree, and the animals said its not his tree. The animals said that he didn't ask for permission to cut it down. Then they said that he wouldn't get punished or something because he forgot.

There are 3 reading create tasks,

For create task 1, we had to analyse our story. We had to get this piece of paper thing, And write something in each box. Like who the characters are, Where is was set and stuff.

Here's create task 1:

(I'm sorry if you cant read it)

For create task 2, we had to Evaluate the actions of the characters. So we had to make a copy of a google drawing and give three reasons with evidence to why we agree or disagree.

Here is create task 2!

And for create task 3 we had to make a glossary the Te Reo Kupu we found in our story. And make a copy of a glossary plan. use the moari dictionary for the definition, But we had to make sure we chose the right one using the context passage. The we had to use Animaker, Bitable or Renderforest to create a digital glossary.

I haven't done create task 3 yet, but I hoped you enjoyed it!
