Good Morning 7D…                                            

Today we will be working in groups and reading a story. Once you are in your groups you will each be given a task to do throughout reading your story.

Person 1 will be the leader/ predictor                               

Person 2 will be the questioner

Person 3 will be the summariser

Person 4 the clarifier

You will read the whole story through, complete your roles which will be discussed with you first and then report  back to the class what happened throughout your story. Hopefully we will have time to discuss everyones at the end.

When you have finished can you please post me a comment from your group memeber telling me what you thought of the story and the way it is interactive.

So enjoy and begin reading:

Hi Guys,

Looking at your Blogs some of you are all over the place. You should have finished by now your History of the Olympics sheet and have them PUBLISHED on your blog. Well done to those of you that have and I will assume that you are half way through working on your Toad’s Rock the Olympics newspaper article. For those of you who have finished everything I have put on a new worksheet for you called Athlete Biography  and you should start research and work on that.

So today’s lesson will look like this.

Step 1: If you are behind go to last weeks post titled Monday 12th of May and work from that. (look up the top right hand corner of my blog)

Step 1a) finish and publish History of the Olympics on your blog.

step 1 b) write up your Toad’s Rock the Olympics newspaper article and publish that on your blog.

Step 2. Open up the Athlete Biography work page (top left hand corner of my blog) and start work on that page, the title of that page should be the name of the athlete you are choosing to write about…

Lets not get behind guys…keep up a good pace before you make me pull my hair out!

Hi Guys,

As you can see I am away!! I have no voice, but unfortunately for you am determined to be back tomorrow!!! lol…

What I want you to do today is to carry on with the History of the Olympics worksheet. From the quick little look I have had some of you are doing really well.

If you have finished this worksheet, and some of you have I want you to come up with a Toad Olympics News report. You are to title your sheet Toads Rock the Olympics, and make up a newsreport as if you were a journalist covering an olympic games being held by toads. You will have to make up events just for toads and tell a funny story about at least one event. Try to come up with an original trophy for the winner too.  Aim for 300 words.

Try to make some of the characters in your story from Toad Heaven, and try to capture some of the environment that toads like to live in. Look at all your banks of words and let your imagination run wild.

 See you tomorrow.

This is your biggest writing task to date on the blogs, so lets see how you go.

Read the worksheet titled The History of the Olympics, and I do mean READ IT don’t skim through it and then ask questions that are explained on the sheet!

This activity should take us 2 blogging lessons so please don’t rush.

Scotty.
