Current Events Term 2, 2017

WALT: I can successfully research a current event.

Here is a link to our online modelling book for this unit of learning.

The National Standard that I have been aiming for during this unit of learning is:

• Year7/8: I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.

Each week we have read a short text about a current event/ topic. We then formed questions based on what we had read.  After this we researched the answers to our questions and finally we gave our opinions on what we had found out.

Here is some evidence of my learning.

My Next Step is to continue to  apply the reading and  research skills that I have learned in a variety of other areas.

Careers Education C.V. Writing

Careers Education C.V. Writing

In CAREERS EDUCATION we have been learning to write a skills based Curriculum Vitae.

A skills based C.V. focuses more on the skills that we have,  rather than our work history.

Here is a link to our online Modelling Book that shows the process we have followed.

Three things that I have learned about writing a Curriculum Vitae are:

1. that it is all about skils

2. it tales the person if yuo are good for the job  

3. it talles the person how is doing the hireing about your self

Here is a link to my Skills based Curriculum Vitae.

Use coordinates and the language of direction.

In Maths we have been using to: Use a coordinate system or the language of distance and direction to specify locations and describe paths.

Here is a link to our online modelling book. This shows all of the learning we have been doing.

EVIDENCE of my learning.

Here are some screenshots to show the IXL activities I have completed.

You can find evidence of my extended abstract problem solving tasks in my Maths Book.

The Figure it out activities that I completed were  called:

• Going the distance
• Clara’s Cowpats

My next step is to continue to apply what I have learned in a range of problem solving activities.

I can make links across texts by recognising connectives or adverbial clauses

I can make links across texts by recognising connectives or adverbial clauses

In this unit learnt what a connective is and an adverbial clause

A connective is a sentence linker

An adverbial clause is a comma after the time it happens

Here is a link to a compare and contrast map of an adverbial clause and a connective

Term 1 Novel Study

Term 1 Novel Study

This term I have been reading and studying the novel …

I found this novel interesting because I have never read anything like this before.

During the novel I had to complete two major assessment tasks. The first is an Explain Map which shows the consequences of a major event in the book. The second was a Describe++ Map (Inference map) which shows I how I have connected prior knowledge and other experiences to what I have been reading to make an inference.

• Link to Explain Map link
• Link to Inference Map link

National Standard this covers

• Year 7/8  Standard
• using several pieces of information to make inferences
• using their prior knowledge, along with information in the text, to interpret abstract ideas, complex plots, and sophisticated themes
• I can use a range of strategies, such as inferring, to work out more complex words.
