Mary's ANZAC Reflection

What:

I have been learning about ANZAC and what does ANZAC stand for.

Also WW1 and the army like what they did and what equipment they used as a shield.

I learnt what some people did in the army during the army.

I learnt how soldiers can survive in the army.

So What:

The reason why I am going to learn about WW2 is because I know things about WW1 and what they would do when you get injured or you get shoot by the country that your country are versing.

Now what:

Now that I know lots of things about WW1, I can find out things about WW2 because I know it is a little bit different from WW1.w

HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN MINECRAFT

In Week 6 of Term 1 our class focussed on how to write great explanations. We wrote about how to survive your first night in Mine Craft (the game a lot of us are obsessed with!).

Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

Signs of Success!	Self	Peer
Introduction - briefly tells the reader what the explanation is about
Present tense
Formal Language; Technical Language
Time connectives
Sequenced and paragraphed (paragraphs have 1 main idea!)
Ambitious vocabulary (adjectives; verbs)
Summary - may have an interesting fact or comment about playing the game

Have you ever wondered how to play mine craft?

Then join in and play with me and lets go an a adventure.

As the sun rises on your first day your work is to...

Gather all the wood that you can find.

Sometimes you can use wood from trees.

There will also be chests to gather tools like torches lights fishing hooks and all sorts of thing to kill animals and eating them. How ever you can take your time but you are going to be killed by the zombies that spawn at night because it kill you.

Once you have all the equipment you need you start thinking where you want to place your house.

Have you found the right place to build your own house?

Firstly you need to check what you have on your table and chuck the equipment you don't need.

When you start building your house start from the bottom to the top and make sure you have a door so no animals will sneak in to house and die also make sure you have a bed especially at light.

When you think you have done start decorating your house with anything you have in your table.

I know there is cows, chickens, and all sorts of animals.

You have to kill then eat because you might die.

I know you are wondering why my life is going down?

It is just like humans. No one can't survive without food.

There it is you have completed your own home with the equipment that you have found.

I call it being creative with building houses.

You are done and don't die stay alive.

How to be a positive learner

How to be a positive learner?

I am going to tell you all about sharing ideas and taking the opportunity that is based on being a positive learner.

Have you ever wondered how to be a positive lerner?

Well I am here to tell you steps on being a positive learner.

I got some real good Ideas on our topic.

Always do what the teacher says and take every opportunity that you get.

Take every opportunity because you don't know what you are going to get out of it.

Get ready for the day because you are going to waste your learning time if you don't prepare.

If you are stuck tell your check in buddy to share some ideas.

If you are stuck tell your check in buddy to share some ideas and if they don't have any ideas the best way is to always ask questions.

When you are listening to your buddy you have to be engaged with them by making eye contacts and facing them so they you are listening.

It can help if you only be your self and communicate with others never be shy and stand up for who you are .

I think those steps can actually help you to be a positive learner even when they say something negative to you.

It always help if you say something nice so they can follow your steps on being a positive learner.
