WALT: Understand and explain the importance of reciprocal reading groups and share it with a wider audience via blogs.
TIB: Reciprocal reading helps us learn to guide group discussions using four comprehension strategies (summarising, questioning, clarifying, and predicting). This encourages us to think about our own thought process during reading and helps us to be actively involved and monitor our comprehension skills as we read.
Why is reciprocal reading important?
Are the interconnectors useful in helping to understand the text deeper? Why/ why not?
Summarise the comprehension strategies we use when reading.
YOUR TASKS:
In pairs, choose a webtool to SHOW your understanding of reciprocal reading and its importance. (popplet, prezi, padlet, bubblus, voki, microsoft word, google slide). Record at least 8 things about reciprocal reading.
You may use titles, images, sub- headings etc to demonstrate your understanding.
Save your presentation and add 1 thing about reciprocal reading to the shared Padlet
WALT: use and explain different comprehension strategies
TIB: Good readers use a range of comprehension and reading strategies in order to comprehend different texts. Our brain works automatically to use multiple strategies at once. This helps us to have a deep understanding of texts we read.

56L have been learning how to write quality blog posts. Here are some of their thoughts from their time on Camp, or at school if they didn’t attend the camp.
What an amazing 3 days…..I wonder if some of these images bring back memories.
What else do you remember?
What was your favourite part?
If you didn’t go what did you learn back at school?
What stuck with me?
The history and memories shared at the Australian War Memorial. With amazing dioramas and artefacts which tell the untold stories. Walking into the tomb of the unknown soldier resonated with me in particular.
Seeing the smiles on children’s faces as they play and learn about snow for the first time.
I look forward to seeing your entertaining and informative blog posts!
Organising your ideas is a great way to plan before you write. 34P have used popplet and bubblusto organise their ideas about text purposes. Here are few examples:
What information could you share about writing for an imaginative, informative or persuasive purpose?
Go to Bubblus and create a picture that describes what you have learnt this term.
Try to include as many things as possible that have stuck with you. Think about all subjects and places you learn new things at school. Don’t forget to save your bubble map using the snipping tool on the shared drive. Miss Ali Khan will choose 5 people to write their ideas in a comment.
