Sharks

Walt: scanning for information with my knowledge to support inferences I make when reading.

Swimming with sharks is dangerous. A teenage girl from the village of Mo'unga'one would not agree. This week we read a story that related to a legend. The legend meant people from a village could swim with sharks and be safe.

We had to think about the different characters and why they responded the way they did. I had to put myself in their shoes to see how they felt.   

I've learned that legends can sometimes give people confidence and also make them feel safe where some people would feel scared and in danger.

The Stag

Walt: justify their ideas from within the text or by inference

In literacy class each group read a book and had a presentation based on book. As you can see the book we read was 'The Stag.'  We answered questions in the presentation according to the book.
