Limerick Poem

Written by Chris:

A man turned red with rage,

he was going through a angry stage.

He is really mad,

He will never be glad,

Now he has to turn the stage.

LI: to write a poem about feelings.
This week for Inquiry I was writing a poem about feelings. We had four type of poems to pick Diamante, Cinquain, Limerick and a Haiku. A Diamante is a poem that has one word at the top and the two lines or sentence under the word is describing that first word. The middle line is a phrase. THe last word one the bottom is described on the two sentences above the word. There are 7 lines in a Diamante.

A Cinquain poem is a poem that must have a one word title. (noun), next it must have two adjectives that is describing the noun, after that it needs three - ing words, after that is has to have a phrase and finally it has to have a synonym for the title.

A Limerick is a humorous poem. It should have five humorous lines. A limerick also has to talk about a person or a place. It also has to rhyme.

A Haiku is a poem that has 3 lines and it involves the seasons. There is a pattern. The pattern is that the first line or sentence has 5 syllables second line has 7 syllables, and last of all the last line has 5 syllables.

For it or Against it

Chris:

I am against having technology at school because we can write down on it on piece of paper. We can use our knowledge that we already know, our prior knowledge. How we can research by watching the News on television. It can also help us with our handwriting because we write more often. But we tt will still help us with our education. We might even have better writing while we grow up. You can even go on T.V channels like Animal Discovery, History, TLC and more. You could even learn methods to multiply faster, add faster and subtract faster. You can even learn about nature how plants grow. We can be social and active because we don’t go on technology that often.  Us kids can learn more about nature. We could be fit because we don’t go on our technology that much. It will just make the world a better place. It will be great for us kids to write down information.

LI: to have a point of view and to construct a argument.

This week for writing I had to make a 1 minute speech. Our category was why should technology be used at school. We had to be for it or against it. I was against it. What we did before that was he had to get into our writing groups Then we had to say a 30 second speech unplanned. Then Mr Ogilvie would say a category and the we would have to do a speech for it or against it. This is my hypothetical argument about Technology at school.

The third is not really a game. We had to know what to do when the starter of a race says " On your marks set go/gun/clap. So at the beginning we have a big step away from our start line.

Summarising Duck Overboard

Summarising the Main Idea

Good readers notice key words.  Here are some clues to help you find key words:

• Key words are directly connected to the topic
• Key words are often repeated in the title and the text
• A key word helps you to remember an important idea

Use this table to help you summarise the main ideas in a text in your own words.  It is important that you use your own words to show your understanding and to avoid plagiarism.  If you don’t know what some words mean, look them up.

Keywords from the title -Overboard

Keywords from subheadings -Scientist -Plastic

New words I need to look up -Adrift -Undoubtedly -Oceanographer

Read the text and record key words/phrases that answer these questions:

What? -What happened is that at January 1992, a ship was sailing wit containers filled with rubber bath toys.

Where? -It was on the sea, Australia, Japan, Indonesia, South America and North America.

When? -It happened at January 1992.

Who? -Scientist, Curtis Embbesmeyer.

Why? -A big, strong, stupendous storm.

How? -The rubber bath toys were dragged by the sea.

Now using the words you wrote down summarise the text in 25 words or less.

At January 1992 a ship was on sea and had containers on it filled with rubber bath toys. After that a stupendous storm came and the bath toys got away.

L.I. To look for keywords and phrases

What I learned was how to summarise a piece of text.

Summarising is retelling a story in your own words.

I also learned the five W's and one H.

How I learned was that Mr Ogilvie made a activity for us to do.

We had to figure out the five W's and 1 H.

We also needed the key words to figure out how to summarise a piece of text.
