Identifying Comparisons

 LI: To use our smart searching skills to expand our knowledge of Ancient Greek Mythology.

Today David shared the next reading challenge with us. It is all about the Greek gods and helps us to practise the skills we have been learning in our reading lessons with our teachers. 

David created this task as part of his CARE award challenges. In this smart searching activity, we used our comprehension and research skills to learn about the difference between Athens and Sparta. 

I found this activity fun and very informative because I was able to learn a lot about Greek Mythology and participate in learning activities to expand my knowledge. The fact I found most interesting was that women couldn't participate in government but could recieve physical training and own property because usually, women wouldn't be allowed any rights.

I found this activity fun because I was able to learn about the Greek vocabulary and learn about the places in Greece. The word/place I found most interesting was Plato because he was an Athenian philosopher that discovered and researched many things.

Abstact Noun Pooem

 LI: To edit our writing using DRAFT 

This week for writing we have been learning about abstarct poems. In writing we have two parts to our task, for the first part of the task we wrote a abstract noun poem in a group, for the second part of our learning we wrote another abstract poem in pairs. Our poem was about beauty. After writing our poemwe needed to proof read our poem. When we proof read our poems we use DRAFT. DRAFT is a acronmy that we use in writing.DRAFT stands for Delete, Rearange, Add, Fix & and Talk. In this poem we also used puncuation, metaphors, similes, the 5 senses, and an abstact noun. The 5 senses are smell, taste, hear, touch - felling & see. I found this task very intersting because learning about types of poem will help me with my writing.
