Mighty Inferences

My Reflection :
For this task we had to read a little paragraph and make inferences to answer the question related to the story, what inference is finding out something that the author doesn't tell you.  I will use this work in the future because it will help me with movies and stuff.  My next step is to make more detailed and logical inferences.

Visualizing Task : The Evil Drinking Fountain

My Reflection :
I found this funny because we could create the origins the drinking fountain/how it became evil.  This was based of a story called 'The Evil Drinking Fountain' (By Rachel Stedman - School Journal Level 3 Febuary 2012), the reason behind this was because our group 'The Durty Dabbaz' was reading it.  My next step is to add more detailed art.

My Reflection
For this we had to list stereotypes for dragons and princesses, then we had to read the story 'Egbert and the Princess a fairy tale' (this story goes against typical dragon and princess stereotypes)and list the stereotypes in this story that goes against the typical stereotypes.  I found this very ludicrous, because it goes against the "typical" stereotypes.

Korowai Slides

My Reflection
Walt clarify what we read to help with understanding, and create questions to show understanding.

In this class we have been learning about Korowai, because that was our subject/inquiry for Term 1, the most valuable part of learning about Korowai was learning the definition for the words I didn't know the meaning of .  I will remember this work in the future because it helped me by learning about Korowai and finding out the definition of words(which will hopefully help me in the future).  I found this Hard to complete because we had to create I wonder questions.

Reading follow-up

My reflection
For this task we had to read the story "Thumbelina", then we had to find Adverbs, Similes and Adjectives, I didn't really find much Similes or Adverbs because I don't really understand what Similes or Adverbs, but I did find LOTS of Adjectives. I thought this was easy because I got help. My next step is to add more Adverbs and Similes next time.
