Choosing a Good-Fit book

ipick

WALT: select quality texts

TIB: Selecting a good book to read is as difficult as deciding what to have for dinner each night. You need to take your time and choose the best fit book for your interest and reading level. Otherwise you may not enjoy it (just like your dinner).

When you read you want to be:

  • interested in the topic and engaged in the themes that the author portrays through various characters and/or actions
  • understanding most of the words, themes and ideas that are introduced in the book.

How do you normally choose a book?

Sometimes it can be hard and we may have to take time to review and select an appropriate text. It is OK if you start reading and then decide that you don’t enjoy the text at the end.

This website may help to find the most recent accounts and books released. Book Reviews for kids

WILF:

  • look at 3+ different texts
  • Say what you think about them to a partner
  • Give one reason why you would like to read a text
  • Give one reason why you would like not like to read a text

Text-to-world – What events in the world does this text remind me of?

Year 5 PBL update 1

 

So far 5T and 5J have learnt to use new webtools such as madmagz. Madmagz is very helpful in many ways because it organises and places everything in order for your magazine like putting in a cover, articles and much more.

We all have a shared document for booking an interview with one of the teachers for learning more about  google apps,  iMovie and blogging etc.
