I can apply my knowledge of adverbial clauses and connectives to see how ideas are linked in texts.

For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning easy because I kinda knew what it was but I needed a refresher.

In this activity Describe a adverbial clause , I had to describe what it was and then highlight what one was the adverbial clause.

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

I can recognise and understand a variety of grammatical constructions and some rhetorical patterns

In this unit I have been learning about:

• The parts of speech.
• The types of nouns.
• The types of sentences.

In this unit, I found challenging… Learning about the different types of nouns because some of them I either have forgotten or I've never heard of them

Something new I learnt was... I learn that there are more than just common and proper nouns.

I can describe the structure of a Short Story

Something I have learned about the structure of short stories is: It has paragraphs and it is all made up.

After reading some short stories two things I will remember when I write my own short story are to have paragraphs and make sure that you have a punch to it and its strong.

This week we were learning about why we should not or should change the NZ flag. I think we went good because we got it all done on time and we got to have our own opinion.

My student led conference

This is my student led conference for the year.

Reading prove it

WALT: I can make links across texts by recognizing connectives or adverbial clauses.
My reading goal was adverbial clauses. Here is a few examples, An adverbial clause is something that appears as a part of a sentence. It also does not make sense alone and it tells us how,where,when,how long or why. Listing things also does not count. Here is an example of an adverbial clauses, with a smiling face he accepted the award. The highlighted part is the adverbial clause because it appears as part of a sentence, it does not make sense alone and it tells how he accepted the award. We also learnt about some connectives. A connective is something that is used to link one sentence to another or you use it to extend a sentence. Some examples are, in addition to, as a result and even though. 
My solo level is relational because I feel I can do it with no help and I could help somebody in my group.

Apply some criteria to evaluate texts.

My reading goal was apply some criteria to evaluate texts.

Our text that we did was called Moa.

The text features we had to find were:

An opening general statement.

Technical language.

Objective language.

Structure.

Bias

Accuracy of information.

 

My solo level is extended abstract because I think I could teach someone and I don't need help.  

My next step is to have a teacher conference and to get a new goal/
