Literacy

We have been making connections to different text this week in our reading. This is a comprehension strategy whereby we make connections to another text (text to text), to ourselves (text to self) and to the wider world (text to world). We have been discussing the similarities and differences between texts and working cooperatively to develop our comprehension strategy.

We are really enjoying our Titanic topic and have been taking notes under headings to understand the sequence of events of the Titanic sinking. We then applied this knowledge to create a story board with detail to demonstrate what happened first, next, after, then and lastly.

We also looked looked at different features of a newspaper and used a newspaper article from when the Titanic sunk to help us to understand these. We worked in trios to highlight the key features of a newspaper such as headline, subheadings, captions and pictures.
