current events

 

This week for Reading we learnt about author's purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).

First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:

What 

When 

Where 

Why 

The article i was reading about was called 

Olympic Games - Day 2

Current events/National

Today we were learning about current events. We used multiple sites to find information based on national news. Working in groups of 4 - 6 we created a google map site plotting the areas that have been affected or something has been going on there.
