Lipogram

A lipogram is a piece of writing where a particular letter is omitted. In our task, we have been asked to change the letter ‘o’ in every word and replace it with a word without an ‘o’ .

Actual Text:
“Albert, is it true that if you touch a butterfly’s wings, you keep it from flying ever again? Basically, kill it?”
“No, it is a myth that you render a butterfly unable to fly by touching its wings. The powdery residue on their wings is actually scales. They shed their scales on a regular basis, so merely touching them is okay.

 

“Albert, is it true that if we pull a butterfly’s wings, we keep it trapped and it will never fly again
+ Basically, kill it?”

“Negative, it is a myth that we render a butterfly unable by feeling it’s wings. The dusty residue against their wings is actually scales. They shed their scales within a regular basis, remarkably merely touching them is fine.

Class President

I think Albert will be a great class president because he is honest, respectful, smart and brave for sticking up for Ally against Shay & Jessica. Albert should be class president because when he gets bullied he doesn’t care and doesn’t take interest in themimage

Monster Project

Activity 2 – Monster Project
Mrs Pratt from 4/5 at Yahl has created an activity for the students this week. They need to create their very own friendly monster and list the steps needed for students in Yahl to recreate it.
The writing component of the task can be typed on the blog or written out. We look forward to seeing our 4/5 buddies recreating the monsters from our instructions. I wonder how close they will be …….

1. Draw a ghost like shape for a body
2. Draw a cloud like shape for a mouth
3. Draw 4 arms (2 on each side)
4. Add teeth, claws and spikes over his body
6. Colour it in

Sketchnoting

  This task was created by Zeina Chalich from aussieed.com

Sketchnoting builds a connection between verbal and visual components. It is a personal form of note-taking that activates the brain in the process much the same as doodling. Doodling is a way of thinking, of drawing information around a thought process.

TASK
Make visual notes (sketchnotes) about the main events from a chapter in the book. Take photos and upload your notes to the blog or use any available apps to make your visual notes. Label which chapter you are sketching about.

Consider.. Who? What? When? Where? How? Why?

What visual representations will best describe…

* The sequence of events?

* The emotions of the characters?

* The impact of what happened?

* The text you will use?

TOOLS
Paper & pencil or black felt tip pen
