Activity 3: Mass Migration

My Opinion Of American, Mexican Border: I think that Donald Trump shouldn't have put a wall between America and Mexico just to stop people from coming to the U.S, because people need a better life, jobs and food to feed their families. In countries near Mexico, like Guatemala and Honduras, there isn't many things to help people which is why there shouldn't be a wall between Mexico and America.

This week for day 4, activity 3 of teaser week for SLJ, we thought about the Mexico and American wall. As president of U.S, Donald Trump decided to put a wall between Mexico and America to stop people from coming to the U.S. We imagined that Donald Trump called us over and asked us about our opinion of the wall. For this problem, we wrote down our opinions, if we think Donald Trump should put the wall between the two countries or not and why. Above I have written why Donald Trump should not put the wall between America and Mexico.

Point Of Views Of Plastic Straws In NZ

This week in writing, we learnt about provocation and created a DLO about the different perspectives of plastic straws. For the different perspectives we included facts and reasons to back up each perspective. We also added our opinion of plastic straws. Perspective, is different sides of articles, speeches and more. A fact is true information which can be checked. Provocation is when you trigger the readers feelings about a certain topic like plastic straws, in a speech. Lastly an opinion is your beliefs and feelings of a topic. My opinion of plastic straws is to stop using them. This is my opinion because plastic straws can damage sea creatures and animals health and life.

For reading this week we had to watch 3 clips. For 1 of the clips we had to watch as a class and write down the fact and opinion on a google draw. For the other 2 clips we had to watch ourselves and write down the fact or opinion on a google draw. We also had to write down the main idea summary on a google docs. Once we finished writing the fact or opinion and the main idea summary we had to blog 1 of the main idea summary and one of the fact or opinion.

Fact or Opinion

LI: To separate fact from opinion
Today for reading we had to make a copy of a google draw that was on the class site. After we had to watch a video that was on the class site. Then we had to make a copy of this google draw that was on the class site too. After we made a copy we had to write down the fact and the opinion about the video. We had to watch another video to and write down the fact and opinion on another google draw. I learnt to separate fact from opinion and what fact and opinion means.
