3rd Text: Article. 'Plastic Bag Action Vow'

 On Wednesday April 4 we will begin to examine our 3rd text. 'Plastic Bag Action Vow'. This is an article about a massive issue that has a big impact on the planet and what is being done about it.  We will view a very persuasive visual text featuring the NZ actor Sam Neil who is one of many who support this issue being addressed.
There is also a connection to our first text the short NZ film,  'The Dump'. Perhaps the planet needs more people like Utah's dad, Orlando...

We will also work with this article to further develop our skills in identifying main ideas and key details to be able to write a  brief and relevant summary.
We will work with a paper copy of the text, as well as the digital version.
We will also develop the connection to one of the main ideas in the short  NZ film, 'The Dump'.This will be done by expressing our ideas using the SEX-Y paragraph structure in our written explanation.

All of this work can be found in Our Hapara workspace,' Making a Difference'.

The Second Text: Kanoro from 'The Weight of Water' by Sarah Crossan

In class on Tuesday the 27 of March we are going to continue to identify the ways in which we can connect our second text,'Kanoro' to the short film, 'The Dump'. We will work together to identify the main  ideas, from both of the texts, then work to describe and explain how and why they they are similar. We will be focusing on developing full sentence answers using part of the question to frame our answer, as well as using in some of the questions the SEX-Y paragraph structure. Each lesson will continue to follow the format of writing in response to the BIG QUESTION task, then we will be continuing with our class novel, 'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian' by Sherman Alexie. The aim for the week is to complete all written work connecting the main ideas from the second text - Kanoro to our first visual text, the short New Zealand film, 'The Dump'.
