Star Test Results

Kia Ora Fellow Bloggers

Here are the results of my Star Reading test. At the beginning of the year I scored 43\50. This week I scored 47\50. I improved by 4 marks. My score means I did well above average. I improved the most in Sub-Test 3, the cloze activity.

Next year I need to work on vocabulary.

Reading Task: Treaty of Waitangi

Reading week  2 Term 1 2018 This week’s goals: Learn: How to recognise, ask and answer literal questions. Success criteria: Read texts and be able to think of a literal question based on that text. Use the key words What, Where, Who and When as sentence starters for your literal questions. Answer literal questions posed by other people. Create:   DLOs on which to record answers to questions/activities based on the Treaty of Waitangi. (from several sources). Scroll down for more information and links

On Monday of this week you will be working independently. Go to this document and follow the instructions. You need to read texts attached to the page so that you can answer the questions and create your own DLO to show your learning.

Tuesday: Waitangi Day-You will not be at school.

Wednesday:  You will have a workshop with your teacher. In order to show that you have met the learning goals above you need to do 2 things with this sheet. Step 1. Find your named box and write a literal question that could be answered by someone who has just read your text about the Treaty of Waitangi. Step 1 will be completed while you are with the teacher.

Dulcie - Who first began writing the treaty document? W.H was the first to start writing the treaty

Ronan - When was the treaty signed? 6th Feb 1840

Lawrence - Who was the first Maori to sign the treaty ? Hone heke was the first Maori to sign

2. Once all of you have written a literal question in your own box, you each need to make a copy of this document.  Put your copy into your Reading folder in your Google drive. Using your new document, you need to answer each literal question until every box on your new document includes a literal question and its answer.  You will complete Step 2 independently after you have left the teacher. Tomorrow you will have another session with your teacher and your work will be marked.
