World News | Reading

L.I: Exploring international current events.

This week for Reading we used Google Maps and looked international news that follow either of these reasons; Timeliness, Relevance, Magnitude, Unexpected, Impact, Reference, Oddity, Conflict, Negative, Continuity, Emotions, and Progress. Working in small groups, we located where the event took place and pinned them on the collaborative map. Using sites such as Kiwi kids News and NZ Herald. Last week we looked at national news meaning stuff only happening in New Zealand. Now we are exploring things that are happening all around the world, international. We found some very interesting world archives, such as the fire in the Amazon Rain-forest. 

Provaction and Opinion

A provaction is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Recently a major supermarket chain announced it will no longer sell energy drinks to people under 16. My opinion is recorded in my DLO that shows both perspectives. My opinion on both of them is that energy drinks taste really nice and is something that kids likes to drink and energy drinks are also bad for kids to drink.

Exploring our national current events

This week during Reading I have being working with Nyjah,Victoria, Florence and I. Authors make stories to entertain, persuade and inform. New editors make decisions every day about which stories they should write about. As a class we explored different type of stories that has happen in New Zealand and plotted the location on a google map.

Current Events

This week Nickaela and I for Inquiry made a DLO about a New Zealand bird called a Kereu. We found this story on Kiwi Kids News. We finished it in a day and got given this in a day. If you would like to read or comment on her blog it will be at the end of the blurb.

Commonwealth Games

 

2 weeks ago we did the Commonwealth games. I worked with Nyjah. Everyone had to read Extra news paper that was about the Olympic values. Also we all had to read 3 values and write it down in your google drawing but it has to be in your own sentence. Me and Nyjah finished and published it on our blog.

Today I worked with Florence for Current Events. What did you learned? I have learnt a lot of things from this article. I also learnt that Victoria is a City, and I also found out from reading the article.  How did you learned? This article was called Flooding in Victoria. Which Victoria is a City. I worked with Florence. I did all of the work and Florence didn't because she just wanted to use this to put on her blog so I let her because I felt sorry for her.
