WALT: Compare and contrast within and between texts
Heyy Bloggers! 😄
This week for Reading we had new book choices! This week our topic was the WInter Olympics! We could choose from 6 different book options! All of them were PDFS. So that means that there is a link to read them. I chose the book Figure Skating. Now I will tell you what my book is about. Figure skating is about how a person wears skates and does tricks on ice. There is also ice dancing. In ice dancing there will be a person who performs dance tricks. There are also two people who can do Figure skating, and they do it together by performing different tricks together. [the rest of the facts are in my create task one] You have to read you PDF to a buddie, by yourself, and with a group. So that is reading your PDF three times. I could not read it with a group because my group was with a different reading teacher. But to make it count as a group, I read it by myself. Once you have read the text, you have to move onto watching or reading the supporting texts. The supporting texts are the Scaffolding text, Complementary text, and the Challenge text. Now I am going to tell you what my supporting texts are about.
SCAFFOLDING TEXT: The Scaffolding text was a video, and it is about, Anna Shcherbakova wins women gold| Figure Skating Beijing 2022| Free skate highlights.
COMPLEMENTARY TEXT: The Complementary text was a video, and it is about, Maia & Alex Shibutani’s Ice dance to “Paradise” by Coldplay at PyeongChang 2018| Music Monday
CHALLENGE TEXT: The Challenge text was a PDF which was something to read, and it was about, Figure Skating.
Now I am going to tell you about what the create tasks are about!
FIRST CREATE TASK: For the first create task you have to create a Flow chart or a story map. If your book is a Fiction you have to make a copy of a flow chart, and if your book is non-fiction then you have to make a copy of a story map. Fiction is true and Non-fiction is not true. Mine was a Fiction so I had to make a copy of a flow chart. In the Flow chart you have to name it, put it into your Reading folder then complete it. The Flow chart had 6 boxes which are for six facts. So you have to type up six facts in those six boxes. Once you have finished you create task, you have to blog it.
SECOND CREATE TASK: For the third create task you could choose from the same six different options again! I chose Questioning. For questioning you have to come up with three questions that are related to your journal story, then you have to come up with three answers as well. You have to first plan your questions on one DLO, [digital learning object] then you have to present it on another DLO. For my first DLO I chose Google doc. Then for my second DLO I chose Aimaker. Once you have finished your third create task you have to blog it.
THIRD CREATE TASK: For the second create task you can choose from six different create task options. I chose Design. For design you have to create appropriate clothes for your athlete or for a person. I had to create Figure skating clothes. You also have to describe about what materials is used. Once you have finished your second create task you have to blog it.
UPDATE: I will update my post once I’ve finished it. 😊
REFLECTION: I liked this create task because it was really easy to do. But some of the facts were a bit hard to find even though there was a lot of information. I think next time I can improve on making some of my facts better, but I still think I did good.
Here is my first create task which includes my Flow Chart.
REFLECTION: I liked this create task because it was fun and easy to do. I think next time I can improve on nothing. It’d because I think I did good in my second create task.
Here is my second create task, which includes my Google doc for planning and my Animaker slideshow for presenting. I hope you like it.
REFLECTION: I liked this create task because I think it was easy like the other create tasks. I think next time I can make my drawing better. But I still think I did good.
DESCRIPTION: The uniform is made out of silky material, it also helps your body to keep warm. The skates are made out of hard material, it helps to slide around the ice. The uniform is the colors light and dark blue. The skates are white and grey.
