Sportsmanship scenarios

This is my sportsmanship drawing. We are working on good sportsmanship and bad sportsmanship in our class. The green boxes are good sportsmanship, and the orange boxes are bad sportsmanship. We also had to do another activity about a tennis player kicked out of the US open for one of our sportsmanship activities as well. 

It was hard to think of different things for good sportsmanship because we are all expected to do them. My favorite part was thinking of really dumb bad sportsmanship scenarios, like flying across a field instead of walking. To be BTB, I could have added more scenarios.

My 'Theme' activity for novel studies

This is my 'Theme' activity for my novel studies book. I had to explain what the author's message was through the book in my own words. I also had to explain what I learnt when I finished the book. Did you know that this is a true story? 

The hardest part was explaining what the author's message was through the book. To be BTB, I could have explained what the author's message was in more detail.

My 'Character' activity for novel studies

This is my character activity for my novel study book, 'My Brothers war'. I had to explain the feelings and places that were throughout the book in the climaxes, times, and moods.

The hardest part was describing the places because some words didn't really correctly describe them. To be BTB, I could have described the places in more detail, and the different moods better.

 

My "Plot" activity for Novel studies

This is my plot activity for my novel study, 'My Brothers war'. I had to retell the main events or the skeleton of the story. I also had to tell both sides of the book, Williams and Edmunds. It was hard to change from one side to the other. My favorite part of the activity was re-reading the bits of the story that were funny because they made me laugh. The hardest part was thinking of words to describe certain things in the story. To be BTB, I could have gone into more detail about the story.

Character Descriptions

This is my character activity for my novel study book, 'My Brothers war'. I had to explain the two main characters traits, which was easy because the whole book is about their different traits. They have really similar traits because they are brothers.

My favorite part was reading through the book again a bit to see how similar their traits were because there were bits where the two brothers did some things really similarly. The hardest part was thinking of some words to describe their traits because even though I knew what they were like, I couldn't find a word for that particular thing/feeling. To be BTB, I could have added more words or described the activity better.

About the Lake Ohau fires

 This is my Lake Ohau fires drawing. We did a quiz about what had happened on the news recently, and Lake Ohau was mentioned. After the quiz, we had to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about the Lake Ohau fires. You could do a video as well, but I chose to do this. We had to include the five "W's" into our DLO. 

I found getting some information, like when the fire was put out hard because none of the articles I visited told me the information I wanted. My favorite part was looking into the stories of the residents of Lake Ohau village because they were all different. I got most of my information from one story in particular. To be BTB, I could have made it more different than all the other times I have done a drawing, and put in macrons for the "O" in "Ohau".

About David Hill

For Literacy Medals, we had to write about the author of the novel we were reading for Literacy Medals. It was hard because I didn't know much about him and there weren't many things I could find about him. My favourite part was looking at the book he had written because one of the books was called "The Games of Nanny Miro", and my name is Miro. To be BTB, I could have found out a bit more facts about him.
