Balanced Argument

Sailing around the world

I am not sure that sailing around the world with your family would be a good idea because there isn't a doctor on board and that means if you get sick there is nothing you can do plus you need to travel a long way to get a doctor. 

On the other hand you get to go to other countries and learn about new things and even eat new things that you have never seen before!

However you have limited food and the bad thing about limited food is if you get lost you can run out of food and starve until you get to a island.

One good thing about it would be you get a chance to do lots of fishing and catch new fishes that you haven't seen before.

Nevertheless you will have too much mum and dad plus when theres only the same people you get bored easily and you would rather be with your friends right now.

Another point of view is there will be one long holiday and no school, the good thing about it is that you don't have too do homework and all other annoying things.

In conclusion I have told you good and bad things about sailing around the world now do you want to sail or stay home?


In the classroom we have been learning how to write a balanced argument and we were reading a book about a family traveling around the world on a boat so we though of making a balanced argument based on it.
                                     

Vocabulary

WAL to extend our knowledge of new vocabulary

gibbered: My father called it that because he said the children gibbered and screeched an hung upside down. My guess: talking nonsense.

revelled: He was in his element on boat. My mother revelled in it too My guess: happy

exhilarating: ...shimming over in the waves, exhilarating in the speed of it. My guess: keeping up with a speed.X Dictionary lively

redundont: They were both being made redundont. My guess: When your not need in your job or the job is being closed.

liability:To him all animals were a nuisance and on board nothing but a liability. My guess: something thats there but not being cared.X Dictionary: disadvantage                

This is what we did in class, so basicly the teacher wrote the word and the sentence then I wrote my guess and the dictionary meaning.      

Number Talk

7821-3462=

Strategies: 7821                                    7000-3000=4000                 

                - 3462   = algerozem              800-400=400

                  4359                                     20-60=-40           = place value 

                                                               1-2=-1

                                                               4000+400=4400 

                                                               4400 - -60=4340                                                                              

                                                               4340 - -1=4359

This is a number talk and somethings we do it in class in the morning. Basicly a number talk is were someone writes a equation and you all write as many strategies as you can. After a while you take turns writing strategies up on the board so if you didn't write a strategie that is on the board you can go and ask the person how to do it. So its basicly learning new strategies.            

  

Obituary for Lesile

On 1997 16th of June a girl called Lesile died no drowned at the creek near her house. It was all so sudden. By the info we collected we are sure that the branch that was connected to the rope snapped and then she hit her head on a rock and after she hit her head she fell into the river and even though she can swim the water level was too high. The school she went to was Lark Creek Elementary and she was a fifth grader and she was 10 years old. According to the teachers at Lark Creek Elementary she was nice and kind person.

In the classroom we were learning how to write an obituary of a person and the purpose of a obituary is to say what they did good, what they achieved and what they did to change other people. so we chose the character from a book called the bridge to terabithia and the character was Lesile. The reason that we chose Lesile was 1: was that she died 2: was because we know how she died.  

       

Tonal Landscapes

We were learning to make distance by using colour.  This is my Tonal Landscape and the technique I used was tonal modelling. Tonal modelling is a colour going lightest to darkest or darkest to lightest.
