speeches 2017

WALT: deliberately choose words to create an effect on the audience.

In my speech I was able to used persuasive words to try change the audiences mind to like motocross and make my delivery good.

Next time I could use more persuasive words and put a bit more information to make the audience enjoy my speech and put more persuasive words.

Celebrations-Dance

We had  to think of a sentience to go on the Acrostic Poem.

Phases Of The Moon Matariki

My Reflection

For this activity we had to read the sentence and put the moon name and photo where we think it goes. I found it easy and hard because the easy part was putting in the names that I knew and the hard part was putting the words I did not know where they went.  I learnt that there are eight phases to the moon. I forgot what the moon has to do to with Matariki.

Next time I could take pictures of the different phases of the moon and remember what I learnt.

Character traits for Bridge to Terabithia.

My Reflection

Over the last 4 chapters I had to write down some character traits about Leslie and Jessie.

Next time I could put more information into sentences and words.

Quotation Marks

My Reflection

Walt : use a wide range of advanced punctuation correctly (Term 2) Quotation marks.

I had to do a test about Quotation Marks, you had to pick A B C or D and their was only one correct answer and three incorrect answers and you had to pick the right sentence. I know how to do Quotation Marks because I know you only use them when someone is speaking in your story. I also knew what punctuation and where it should be.

Next time I could try get 10 out of 10 and try it again another time and try get them right again.

Bridge to Terabithia

My Reflection

Walt:I am learning to make a prediction based on the cover and blurb.

I was able to read the front cover and compare it to the other cover and point out the most common things that they both have.

Next time I will look more closer and more harder to find more information and identify some more keywords.

Birthdays now and then

Walt: Compare and contrast birthdays.

My Reflection

I had to compare birthday activities and food from old and new and if they were the same you would put them in the middle of the Venn diagram.

Anzac day

My Reflection
Walt:Find and summarize information by choosing the most important information.

I was able to use a google doc to help me get the Anzac day facts to put on my slide.

Next we gathered all the main facts into one slide and for extra facts we put them in the other slide.

I found lots of facts by looking at each paragraph and surprised the main idea in the paragraph.

Camp Merc acrostic poem.

Walt:edit and revise my Camp Merc writing for clarity and impact in response and feedback.

Learning Reflection.

I found this activity easy because I have done lots of acrostic poems before.I did make changes to my poem after getting my feedback from Thomas and Reuben. I made some spelling mistakes and I corrected them because Reuben spotted them.

Next time when I do my writing I am going to get a red pen and edit I will underline my spelling mistakes I will check for the red lines under the incorrect spelling.

Camp Merc certificate.

My Reflection

My favorite part about camp Merc was sailing because it was very refreshing and awesome.

My Kennings Poem

Walt: distinguish between relevant and irrelevant ideas for my Kennings Poem.

I was able to :

• Use lots of detail.
• Only use ideas that related to me.
• Use relevant ideas.
• Not use irrelevant ideas.
• Edit my work to make my writing more about me,eg Dirt bike rider/Dirt bike extraordinaire.

Next time I could put more year 6 WOW words in my Kennings Poem like extraordinaire.

Statistics

Walt : display data on histogram, tally chart.
Walt : interpret information from histograms and tally marks eg. medium, mode, range, mean.

I was able to use these scores to make my histogram.

• The range for the first name scores is 4 to 20.
• The range for the last name is 2 to 21.
• The range for the full name is 9 to 31.

I really liked this activity I would like do do this again but do it about something different.

At the start it was a little tricky because I had to count up all the numbers.

45 Letter sounds

Walt: Use different spelling patterns and strategies to increase my word knowledge.

There are 45 letters sounds in the English language.  Sometimes these sounds are made by one letter and sometimes they are a made by a group of letters together.  Learning these letter sounds will help me spell unknown tricky words and increase my word knowledge.

Reading-New Vocabulary.

House Captain's Speech

Today I stood in front of the year 5 and 6's and read out a speech to try be a House Captain. I used Resilience to stand in front of the year 5 and 6's to tell my speech.  I did not think of doing a Speech but at the last minute I did.

10 Things you need to know about me.

Walt : use advanced punctuation

We have learning how to use bullet points correctly in my 10 Things About Me slideshow.  I learnt you need to :

• Place the bullet point in the margin.
• Use a capital letter after the bullet point.
• If you have written a sentence, end it with a punctuation eg. fullstop.
• Bullet points are used to create lists.
• Find the bullet points icon on the right hand side at top of the tool bar called bullet lists.
• You need to be in inside a text box to find the bullet list icon.

Next time I will try and use bullet points in more of writing.

Can you guess which of my information is true and which is a lie ?
