TEEL Paragraphs

LI: To use powerful words and transitional vocabulary to make our writing more interesting

 This week we have been learning to use transitional vocabulary to help us link ideas between the sentences in our paragraph. The transitional words are like the doors we walk through and to show how this works in writing we have highlighted them. I enjoyed this activity because we got to try using new words in our writing and we worked collaboratively so we got to share our ideas.

Know your keyboard

LI: be cybersmart and use our devies to learn ,create and share.

We did the Maniakalani Cybersmart challenges  and this is activity 1. Our task was to make 3 DLO's on how to use your Chromebook. The first DLO was about what to do when you're using your chromebook, when using your Chromebook you can't have food or drinks near your chromebook, If you are charging your Chromebook while using it you must work near a wall so that no cables are on the floor where people might be walking and more on the DLO's.

I really liked doing the challenges and found it interesting because I learnt some new ways of thinking about being cybersmart.

leadrship

This week for writing LS2 worked in groups of 5 - 6 people to find the definition of leadership. First we brainstormed all the examples linked to leadership onto a piece of paper. Second we used that brainstorm to give us a basic idea of what leadership is. Then we wrote down all the important words linked to leadership, we then used those words to create a summary. After that we created a DLO about our summary and the process of making it.

hydration

 LI: to understand why staying hydrated is important for our health and our learning.

As you may know, our bodies are mostly made up of water. Drinking water regularly makes you hydrated and full of energy, but the opposite is being dehydrated. Being dehydrated is when your body isn’t getting enough water that it needs. This causes tiredness, lack of energy, dry lips, and dark colored urine. 

In groups of 2-4 we created a DLO explaining why being hydrated is good for both health and learning. In my group was ****add names. After reading this DLO I hope you have a good understanding on why is it very important to keep hydrated by drinking water.

Stastistical Investagation

 LI: to plan and carry out a statsistical investagtion 

 

Today I worked with Peyton and we worked in pairs to investigate what LS2's favourite colour was and we predict only little amount of people would chose blue because a lot of people would start to say a different colour. Something I found interesting that we got to experience what people liked and what they did not liked . 

Summary treaty of waitangi

 LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about.

The  Treaty of Waitangi started when the british first arrived to New Zealand and the background behind Treaty of Waitangi was the Maori Chief was trying to get the treaty signed from the Maori chiefs 

Something we found interesting was the New Zealand war between the Maori and Pakeha
