Reading: Memorial

This week for reading, our activity was to read a Sophisticated Picture Book named Memorial. As story written by Gary Crew, and Illustrated by Shaun Tan. We were asked to make a presentation with a partner that had multiple slides, each with something different. We were then to choose one of those slides to post on our blog, with a link to the original full presentation Here. On the slideshow, you can see a heading that explains what subject of the story we are talking about. For this activity I worked with Sanujan. I chose him because we work really well together, and manage to come up with the same ideas.

Chosen Slide:

Reading: Grey Angles

This week for reading, our challenge to complete in time was all about ANZAC day, and World War 1. Everyone in Mrs Anderson's reading group was split into four groups, and each group would be reading a different story about World War 1. The story that my group and I read was a story named Grey Angles. This story explained the job of World War 1 nurses, and how they felt. What we did after reading this story was go through a series of activities that related to the story We would then complete these activities with a partner, although some activities had to be done with the whole group. This included making a DLO, and making a summary.
