Term 4, Week 1


This week we are building our capacity to critically analyse and evaluate texts.

As digital natives with a world of information available at the click of a button, students must develop the skills necessary to become expert 21st Century learners and critical thinkers. 

Learning Intention: 
We are learning to use critical thinking and reasoning skills to analyse and evaluate information.

Success Criteria:
* I can use reasoning skills to explain my thinking.
* I can use guidelines to help me think more deeply about      information I am seeing, hearing, or reading.
* I can use search engines to help me think more deeply about information I am seeing, hearing, or reading.

Digital Literacy

Is your source reliable?
​How do you know?

Picture

Knowing how easy it is to create misinformation can highlight just how carefully you need to analyse and evaluate what you see, hear, and read!

Picture
Picture
Your challenge today is to think of the wildest story you can and make it sound believable.....

Martians stole your wheelbarrow? Sure!
A talking tomato reminded you of the benefits of exercise? No problem!
Found the Titanic in Lake Hume? You got it!
Your cat walked through a portal to another dimension and came back as a possum? Purrrfect!


​Have fun!

Tuesday's Activities:

Today is a Pupil Free Day... Enjoy!

Wellness Wednesday's Reading Activities:

Thursday's Activities:

Learning Focus: Synthesising
Learning Intention:
We are learning how to "see the bigger picture" as we read by merging our thinking with the information we read in order to come to a new and more complete understanding of the text.
Success Criteria:  
​I can describe how I use my background knowledge to create visual think about meaning while I read.
I can add new knowledge to my ideas.

Picture
First, lets talk about the text. Activate your prior knowledge by taking note of  the things that you already know. We can use a graphic organiser to help us organise our thoughts, like the 'Synthesising Eggs' example further down the page.
 
Next, let's read a page that the author has included at the back of the book. As you read, listen carefully in your head for new knowledge. When you hear something new, add this new knowledge to your notes.
Picture
Finally,  you are going to select a ‘Good Fit’ text and read for 20 minutes.  Concentrate on increasing your reading stamina (doing something for a long time without getting distracted and giving up).

Friday's Activities:

Learning Focus: Synthesising
Learning Intention:
We are learning how to "see the bigger picture" as we read by merging our thinking with the information we read in order to come to a new and more complete understanding of the text.
Success Criteria:  
​I can describe how I use my background knowledge to create visual think about meaning while I read.
I can add new knowledge to my ideas.
Picture
​First, review the new information you added to the Graphic Organiser from Thursday’s activity.
 
Next, re-read the page that the author has included at the back of the book. As we read, listen carefully for new knowledge. When you hear something new, add this new knowledge to the middle section of your ‘Synthesising Eggs’ graphic organiser.
 
Then, use two pieces of information that you found interesting and write a new sentence that ‘synthesises’ (or combines) your new knowledge with your previous ideas. Write these two sentences in the third section of your Synthesising Eggs graphic organiser.
 
Finally, you are to select a ‘Good Fit’ text and read for 20 minutes. Practise using the ‘Synthesising Eggs’ graphic organiser with your ‘good-fit’ book.
