Kia Ora Bloggers,

This week for reading we had two goals we needed prove. Our Goals were to use reference sources (e.g.,online/ dictionaries and thesauruses, google ‘define’ ) to find the meanings of new words Ask higher level questions about the text, such as 'why' and 'how'. Make connections between Texts.

In our workshop we read an article called Possum Problem, while reading the article we made questions. After the workshop we wrote five words we did not know from the text and went online dictionaries and thesauruses' to find out the meaning of those words.

Here is my word meanings doc:

Now moving on to our create. Our create was to make up five questions using why, how and should.
