LI: To identify the author's purpose.  

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).

We looked at Kiwi Kids News, Kea Kidz, NZ Herald and Radio NZ to find articles to match the purpose we were searching for. We then created a new map in Google my maps, plotted the event on a map, added the link to the article, added the author’s purpose, an image and sumarised the information.


I found this activity fun because i learn some new country  

Ballad Poem: Charlotte Anne

LI: To understand the story in a ballad poem

This week for reading we have been focusing on a ballad poem based on a story about Charlotte Anne. A ballad poem is a long poem that tells a story. We unpacked the story help us make a connection to what was happening, wrote a summary and looked at the two different opinions of how women were expected to live at the time. Charlotte Anne didn’t agree with these strict rules and was often talked about because she chose to do a mans job.

This activity was intreseting for me because i learn lots of facts about the 1870s.
