Multi-modal Reading

This week since our class is going to Tohuna Torea our reading focus has been on Godwits and multi-modal . Our Reading group is the R group. In our group, we  have Paige, Jasmine, Manu, Sylis,  Eric. Our first task was to complete our question matrix. We completed this task so that next time when we do our research we know what information we are looking for. This was also interesting to know what other people were finding our and we learnt a lot from each other. After we completed our question matrix we relied on our prior knowledge. We wrote about our prior knowledge about the travel transportations we use now, 30 years ago and 100 years ago. We wrote down on our computers the problems that come with all these types of transportation. Since we completed our prior knowledge we got to reciprocal read with our group. We took turns and read a paragraph each. I enjoyed today's session and I think we collaborated really well.

Main Idea - Wright Brothers

Today we were learnt four structures that are in a text. These are scaffold text, complimentary text, challenge text and self selected text.

Read 20

This term we have been doing read 20. Read 20 is 20 minutes of reading silently. What helps us with this activity is read theory. If we just sat down and were reading books with your friend's everybody would be talking and not focused, not even reading their books! Read theory helps with comprehension because we read a passage and then move onto answering the questions. If you end up getting most of the question right you move onto a higher grade - my highest grade is 8. Read 20 has been a part of the day that most of us look forward too.

Bias

This week our reading group has been focusing on Bias. Bias means only one point of view . To find someone's bias in an article they will be trying to make you think like them. In other words they will be persuading you of their point of view. Being biased means you will be against a group of people who think differently. Our group read an article about musicians going to auditions and they liked male more than female musicians. Now they do blind auditions and sometime the are asked to take their shoes off so they are not judged by their gender or the way they look.
