'Sailing Around the World" argument

We were learning how to write a balanced argument. We needed to write from two points of view. I found it very easy. It is kind of like arguing between yourself. First we drew a 'T - Chart' and labeled it with For and Against. Then when we were writing it, it was very easy. I hope we get to do this sort of thing again. 

Leslie WordFoto

This was the last piece of evidence that I am doing for our Bridge to Terabithia. We made a word foto for a character in the book. This character is Leslie. She is a unique and brave fifth grader. I liked working with this book because I wouldn't have normally read a book like this. This has taught me to not judge a book be its cover.

Jess' Timeline

This is a timeline of what happend in the book called Bridge to Terabithia. We had to recount what happend in each chapter and summarise it in about two sentences or less. I learnt how Jess as a character changed through out the story. I liked the process and my next step is to use it on a different book.

Leslie Burke's Obituary

We were learning how to write an obituary for a character in our class book. An obituary is like a death notice. The character is Leslie Burke. She died after she fell into the gushing water. Next time I do something like this I want to do it for a character in my own book.

Comparing Characters- Bridge to Terabithia.

This is my Venn Diagram for the class novel we read, Bridge to Terabithia. Everyday Mrs. G, our teacher reads us a chapter of the book. We listen out for the answers for comprehension questions. This was one of the follow up questions. We needed to draw up a venn diagram describing the appearances and personalities of two of the main characters, Jess and Leslie. As we began reading they turned out to be two very different people but now; because we are further in the story they are turning out to be more alike than we know. So we had to put the facts about Jess in the left hand bubble and the facts about Leslie in the right hand bubble. Next I want to learn how to add more detail to the diagram and fish out more interesting words.
