This is Meggie at the end of the film
Reading: This week we started our first avail on Inkheart. I chose Meggie as my character and so far I have only written a little bit of the character analysis. Here is a link to my work.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IPWJL_NtbyP_7ePW6K565EZNpwqEfwNTsXHTTXBk6ks/edit

The picture is from one of the final scenes, where Meggie is forced to read out the Shadow, an evil character bound to Capricorns will, and made of the ash of Capricorns victims. Meggie is able to vanquish the Shadow and constructs a new story, from the notes of her grandfather, where the Shadow kills it's master and disappears and Dustfinger finally returns to his book, and Meggie's family is whole again.

Writing: For writing, we learned about three new types of poems. Kennings poem was just two words that linked together and we were shown some great examples before creating our own that could be about school or homework. I chose the school. In acrostic, we were taught about the middle and end Acrostics which basically means that the acrostic word was transferred to the middle or end. Haikus and Senryu were next and it was really fun to hear the class sounding out words and making there own little themes. My group was comprised of four students and the overall theme was the forest. Haikus are always about nature. Senryus are basically making fun of humans, the silly side. It was great fun.

Maths: Probability was the main subject this week. We learned about formulas for certain, likely, half chance, unlikely, uncertain and zero chance events. We started with 1 dice, then moved onto two and the next day we started with cards, it was pretty simple once you understood the formulas but I kept on forgetting to write P(Picking a heart card) and just wrote the answer.

    I thought that the Haikus and Senryu were fun to, and I also thought that it was simple once you got the hang of it.

End of Term 2 Reflection

Image
Reading: This term we made our novel studies and we looked at Character Analysis which included Physical appearance, Personality traits, Growth, and relationships. After this, we used the information we had gathered to create an essay. The next task was main events and a summary, then mapping where we looked at the setting of the story. Connections were very important and there were three types of them; text to self, which means how we can connect to the book, text to text, which means have we read any books similar to the book and text to the world, which is about how the book has similarities to everyday life. Passage Picker was the author's purpose and the words they used to show emotions to the reader. I think that all my 'passages' were about the emotion of happiness, and one of them was about the first time Greg was racing in a rally. 'My fingers relax a bit. I stop trying to brace my feet. I breathe properly and my heart steadies. But that doesn't stop the b...

Learning Week 6 Term 2

Learning Week 6 Term 2 Reading:  I used visualisation and clues from the text to create a map based on the setting in 'Slide the Corner'. It was difficult because I couldn't get a feel of the place so I had to skim and scan for tid-bits of information that painted a very blurry picture. Writing: In writing, we practised quick writes, where we try to fit in one skill in a short story.We have used prepositions, practised descriptive writing using adjectives, adverbs, and figurative languages Maths: I learnt about the Mean, Median, Mode and Range and how to identify them using a poem. Hey diddle diddle, The median is in the middle. You add and divide for the mean. The mode is the one you see the most. The range is the difference between. Topic: I learned about the visual features of a Goliath Bird Eating spider and how it uses its hairs to inflict damage to the mucous membranes in the eyes. Its colour depends on which area it lives in. It's a varied sha...
