Reading to NRR

Our school celebrated the re-opening of school library we done activities around it we were allowed to dress up as a book character and we also went into buddy classes. Our class was Nga Rau Rito. We had to read to juniors and talk to them the importance of reading.

Thinking criticaly

In reading we are thinking critically about we read. We have to ask appropriate questions to our selves to we believe what read is true when you believe it true you ask why is it true. I think that when its true the information is accurate because you've read other topics similar towards this text.

Thinking crittically

This week we are still learning to think critically about what you read and evaluate the text. The hard part is to find questions to relate to the topic. The easy part is to always have either one or two questions that is good for the topic. To think critically is about asking the right question, questions that help you receive both meanings of arguments.When you read you need to find the right question whilst reading a book.

Comparing

I have been learning to make connections so that I am fluent in my learning. When comparing two stories together to get similarities and differences you will be making connections to the authors point. The hard part is when you have two stories to compare and they are on the same topic such as two stories about caving or geologist you have practically the same idea on the same topic.The easy part is knowing the suitable tool to use.
