Kia ora bloggers,

This week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell.  When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences.  We want to show them - not tell them.

For example:  Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realised he had just missed the bus.  But instead I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away.  Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realised that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now”  You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated.

Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man.  We used Adobe Spark to do this.  

Have a look at my video and see if you can you make some inferences about what I have written.

Do you think the elderly man is happy?

the twits inference

KIA Ora bloggers this week we have been carefully at making inferincing when we read or watch something.

An inference is when we take clues from a text or image, and add them to our thoughts or prior knowledge and make an inference.  For example,  when I look at this photo, I might make the inference that this photo was taken in a food factory as everyone is wearing hair nets and this is required in all food factories.

The text that we read a snippet out of was ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl.

Once we had read the first few chapters where they described the main characters, Mr and Mrs Twit, we then had to make some inferences based on the clues that Roald Dahl had given in the text.

I used Google Draw to create a display of my inferences I have made about Mr and Mrs Twit.

Have you read The Twits before?  Do you agree with my inferences? What inferences would you make about the characters?

See you next time bloggers!!!

Hey bloggers how are you today.

literacy-numeracy blast

Hey bloggers how are you? Today I have picked my favourite maths and reading task. This is  khan academy one of the many maths tasks my teacher has given us.  i like it because i can watch a video and see how to do the maths.

I love literacy it is so fun and i learn something it is so fun being able to have different options of what to do . its so fun i might even do two activity. I love like how in literacy everyone in my class gets feedback on what we can improve.
