Procedural Text

LI: To create a procedural text to tell someone how to do something using a  sequence of  steps, instructions or actions in a particular order.

Our challenge was to work in our dinosaur research pairs create a prototype of our dinosaur’s skeleton my one was a Pterodactyl. The challenge was to make the skeleton of our dinosaur and record the steps we followed.  Once we had our first prototype we revised and adapted both the prototype and the instructions. We used the language features found in a procedural text to help us write clear instructions so that another pair could follow our instructions and create our prototype. I think this activity was fun because I got to explain how to make a dinosaur out of paper.

Hone Tuwhare Poem

Today we got to make images and record ourselves or our voices saying the 2 poems by Hone Tuwhare, we used Adobe Express and Google Vids to help us for this task. Hone Tuwhare’s 1st poem I did was Rain it shares personal, spiritual and emotional feelings with the person who reads the poem. Hone Tuwhare is a widely respected man for his speeches. To complete this assesment we had to read and structure the words carefully in a similiar tone in addition to how he declares it. Soon after the Rain poem I got to do the poem Child Coming home in the rain which is also another famous poem he wrote. The instructions were as same as the Rain poem we had to read and structure the words carefully in a similiar tone in addition to how he declares it.

I really enjoyed this activity because I got to read Hone Tuwhare’s poems and structure images using AI.

 

Malala Yousafzai DLO

For reading we have been learning about Malala Yousafzai an her braveness towards her learning and education, she was a tenacious young soul who never backed down even when facing a gun to her head, that belonged to the Taliban. Malala Yousafzai did’nt let that put her down even making a big speech to all the world leaders in the united nation, she fought for peace, social justice, and gender equality. We made a poster on one of her famous quotes that she said to the nations, and we chose ” Empower others with the weapon of knowledge,” because it brought a sense of empowerement and was a inspirational quote. Something I found interesting was she got shot on the left side of her head and never gave up.
