My waves

 Hi bloggers, welcome back to my blog! Today I'll be talking bout my reading task, this week we have been reading t-shape literacy. The texts we read are: Whare tapa wha, inner peace for outer peace & Money Buys More Happiness, Even For The Rich. 

Those texts talked about the four walls, spiritual, social, physical & mental. We had to draw something that makes us feel peaceful & happy, the wall I feel that needs work on for me is my spiritual health because I don't pray to God as often anymore but I do try to. Here is my work:

I chose to draw a wave because that's when I feel most peaceful and content.

Peacefulness feels to me like weightless like no worry's & it's like you don't feel any emotion.

What makes you peaceful?

Perfect Persuasive Writing

 Hi Bloggers welcome back to my blog! Today I'll be talking to you about my Persuasive Writing text that we did this week. This week we learnt about how to write a Persuasive text and the topic of choice and if we agreed or disagreed with, the choices were: Money can't buy happiness, Happiness is a choice, You can't change your character, The pursuit of happiness makes people less happy, Students should be paid to go to school, Social media impacts our happiness for the worse. I chose you can't change your character which I disagree with because you can change your character. Here is my work:    

Do you agree or disagree with this topic?

Amazing Articles?

 Hi bloggers welcome back to my blog! Today I will be talking to you guys about my Reading task this week. First here is my Goal: Select from a wide range of genre when reading independently. For reading we went on kiwi kids news and looked at some articles and had to pick three articles with different genres and we had "review" them and add our thoughts on the article. Also we had to find some shapes, here are the shapes we had to find:

 

Or if we could change the article title. All of the articles of course had a title but out of the three only one had two shapes that included the 5 W's and the Headline. Here is my work:

Have you ever read these articles?

If you could what title would you change?
