Reading


This is a follow up we got after one of our breakouts.

First we had to decide what the style of writing was. Our choices were; descriptive, historic, formal and poetic. This text is descriptive.

Next we had to decide what the authors purpose was. Our choices were; persuade, inform and entertain. This text is inform.

Then we had to decide what type of words were used. Our choices were; high frequency, precise and technical. This text uses technical words.

After that we had to decide if the text stayed the same the whole way through or if it changed. This text stayed the same.

Finally we had to write why the text stays the same or if it changes. This text stays the same because the language features are consistent throughout the text.

Careers explanation writing

My career goal is to become a physiotherapist. I want to be a physiotherapist because you get to help people get better. Physiotherapists will diagnose patients, decide on the best treatment and help people prevent further injuries. The chances of me getting a job as a physiotherapist are high because there is a great demand for their services!

If I want to be a physiotherapist I need to think about what subjects I need to do at high school. Biology, chemistry, physics, health and P.E are highly recommended if you want to become a physiotherapist.  Because these subjects will give me an early understanding about some aspects of being a physiotherapist.

After high school you will need to get a bachelor's degree in physiotherapy. To get a bachelor's degree in physiotherapy it will take four years at Auckland university of technology or the university of Otago. This is a very important step in becoming a physiotherapist as at university I will learn how to be an effective physiotherapist and if I don't get the degree I can't achieve my career goal.

Along with the degree, I will also need to have these attributes; organized, good listener and good at communicating.These attributes will help me to achieve my career goal. To become a physiotherapist you need to be a good listener in order to diagnose your patient correctly. Physiotherapists need to be very organized so that they have their patient's appointment planned out and ready to go before they arrive.

Overall I think being a physiotherapist is a perfect job for me because I am a good listener and organized. I am also really interested in the subjects that I will need to do at high school. To add to that the job of a physiotherapist is really good and satisfying, if you are inexperienced you will earn 46-69k per year. When you become more  experienced you will earn 69-95k per year.

My goal is ideas. My writing shows that because in each paragraph I have talked about one relevant idea and its all factual.

Goals reflection 27.5.15

My goals at the start of the year were:
1. To be a good leader
2. To do a science badge
3. To get a distinction leadership badge


My first goal is to be a good leader. I think that I am doing quite well at that because I remember to do all of my leadership responsibilities.

My second goal is to do a science badge. I have asked to do the sports science badgw, but because no one else has done it before I have to wait till they send it over here, but when its here I'm planning on getting it done quickly.

My third goal is to get a distinction leadership badge. I am going alright at that but I have been busy with my other goals, but I have started to get on with that.

My next step is to get my merit badge so that I can get distinction later on.

My Discoverey Multistructural

We have passed Multistructural because we know two different ways to jump high.

1st Technique: The Scissor Kick

1. Run as fast as you can up to the bar.

2. If you are right footed you need to spring off your left leg and while you do that raise your right leg and right arm so that your arm will propel upwards and your leg because you have to jump over the bar.

3. Make a scissoring motion with your legs and you should be over.

4. Land on your feet!

5. Run off the mat carefully so you don't knock the bar.

2nd Technique: The Flop

1. Run as fast as you can up to the bar.

2. Put you right arm in the air whilst you spring of your right foot


3. Arch your back while you are going over the bar

4. Flick your legs so they don't hit the bar

5. Land safely on the mat!

Leadership Merit: Technology

On Tuesday we had Technology. I had to fix my floor and make some of my furniture. I finished making my floor and I made the bed but it was very difficult to get the desk in place because of the way my walls are shaped. Next week I have a basketball tournament so I can't go to technology and the week after that is a teacher only day which means I can't finish my room which is kind of annoying!

Leadership Merit: Flags

Every day in the morning the Heads, Deputies and House captains put out the flags and bring them back in. This term the girls are putting them out. I have helped put out the flags every day this week. It is really hard to remember but we all try to remind each other. Sometimes the boys forget to bring the flags in which is annoying because then we also get blamed for forgetting. Something I need to do better is to remember more often without having to remind each other.

Leadership Merit: Technology

On Tuesday we had technology and I showed leadership by only talking to my bus buddy and being quiet. At tech I helped people out with their rooms and hot glue gunning. I concentrated and got a lot done. I burnt myself with the hot glue gun and it really hurt but I got it fixed at the sick bay and carried on. By the end of the day I had all my walls inserted and my floor done, next I need to make my furniture.

Leadership Merit: Leadership meeting

Today I had to be at school by 8:00 for a meeting. I remembered to show up on time and had the right resources. We read a chapter of our School Leader book and then we discussed what messages we got out of it. Some people didn't show up on time which was a little bit frustrating because we had to restart and wait for them to come.We talked about doing our leadership badges and making sure we get them done.

Earthquake

Crash, bang as the buildings fall, at the end of this poem their will be nothing at all.

The wails of sirens don't even compare to the shrieking of little kids, always aware.

 As the depressed rubble lays amongst the ruins whats left of the buildings stare at the rest of their old selfs.

The cracks and debris, the ruins and rubble, right now all I need is a nice big cuddle!

Key=
is onomatopoeia
is rhyme
is personification
is alliteration

I used personification because it fits in well and I wanted to challenge myself!
I used rhyme because I really like poems that rhyme and it was easy to put in!
I used onomatopoeia because I want the reader to know how it sounds!
I used alliteration because it sounds really good and I like using it!

I think I got to Relational because I used lots of language features in my poem and I know when and why I used them.
