My group and I were making a synthesis and a QAR.
First we did did synthesis. Synthesis has a prior knowledge, new information, and new understanding.
Prior knowledge is that they already know about the title. New information is that you don't know what is in the text. New understandings is if you agree or don't agree.
Last we did a QAR. QAR has four boxes right here, think and search, author and you, and on my own. There are ten questions that you have to answer.
Today I was learning facts about recycling.
First I had to find 3 keywords in the book and a video. My keywords was recycling, shredded, pieces, paper, rubbish, rubbish trucks.
Then I had to find the define for the keywords. My defines was recycling and paper.
After I had to get photos about our define.
Last I had to write 4 facts about recycling.
This is a good task about reading because learning new recycling things and time line.
We did another SSR Selfie and I read a fiction book about Bad Guys.
LI to use the SSR Selfie independent task.
We practised our reciprocal reading on a PDF called Where we live.
The five rolls are leader, predictor, clarifier, questioner and summariser.
First we read a PDF that was telling us about Where we live.
then we read that the kids draised a fund to help the soldier who went to war.
The most important roll of reciprocal reading was clarifier because it helped us find the most important words from the text and understand them.
I like this activity but asking questions was tricky.
We practise our reciprocal reading on a PDF called what we ate.
The 6 rolls is leader, predictor, clarifier, questioner, summariser.
First we read the PDF that soldiers ate during the war.
Then we read that they ate: bully beef, jam, canned fruit and vegetables, lack of vitamin c, hard biscuits and water.
I like this activity but asking questions was tricky.
I learnt about reciprocal reading.
There is a leader that had to lead the group and give the cards to know who there are.
A predictor has to tell what is going to happen next.
A clarifier is a person that tells the group what the word is that they don't know.
A questioner is a person who tells the questions that they don't know.
A summariser is a person who summarises the story and what it is all about.
I like this task because it helps me learnt about reciprocal reading.
We did another SSR Selfie and I read a fiction book about Bad Guys.

All texts have a range to share information with the reader.
A keyword unlocks something with lots of information.
Keywords can be used to retell information- Power strugle, central powers, allies these can help me retell world war 1.
LI to use the SSR Selfie independent task.
We can make connections when we read: text to self, text to text, text to world.
A text to self connection is something about the book and something that is the same about the book and yourself. For example The duck tried to protect herself from the highway rat. My connection is I protect myself from my brother. My connection is protecting yourself.
A text to text connection is a book and another book that have similar ideas. For exmaple The duck told the highway rat I have a sister in a cave. My connection is Moana got tricked by Maui and he trapped her in the cave. My connection is tricking people to go into a cave.
A text to world is the book you read and something around the world. For exmaple the duck gave the food back to the villgers. My connection is the other people give the food to the homeless. My connection is giving food to others.
These 3 connections help people to understand what they are reading.

A character trait is something that helps make a summarise of your story and adding adjective in your story.
A adjective is a describing word that shows what the character's feeling are.
The duck tried to procted herself because she didn't want to get eaten by the highway rat.
The adjective hero was chose because it is a good word to match the feeling and what she did. The adjective courageous was chose because it is nice and fits togther with the feelings.
Character trait is important because it can summarise the story for an indepth understanding.
LI: To infer information about characters in a story.
