current events

Current Events Term 2, 2017

WALT: I can successfully research a current event.

Here is a link to our online modelling book for this unit of learning.

The National Standard that I have been aiming for during this unit of learning is:

• Year ⅚ :  I can locate and summarise ideas by skimming or scanning, by identifying key words, topic sentences, and key questions, or by using subheadings

Each week we have read a short text about a current event/ topic. We then formed questions based on what we had read.  After this we researched the answers to our questions and finally we gave our opinions on what we had found out.

Here is some evidence of my learning.

My Next Step is to continue to apply the reading and research skills that I have learned in a variety of other areas.

Drama

In ARTS this term we have been learning to:

Select and use techniques and relevant technologies to develop drama practice.

Here is a link to our online modelling book.

• During this unit of learning we:
• Described the characteristics of silent performances.
• Identified different techniques used in silent performances.
• Used these techniques in a variety of different practice situations.
• Worked in a small group to put together our own silent performance.

The most challenging part of this unit of learning was to get all the things going well

The two things that I enjoyed the most were:

1. I liked the they play we made up
2. I liked that my team mates were good and not silly

The story that my group told silently. We were at the park and this kid was sitting down by the tree and we were playing with a fidget spinner and he cam and took it from us and we had to chase him.

Overall I think my group worked really well, because we worked has a team.

Question 2

Three men run a business together.

The proportion of the profit they each get at the end of the month is based on the proportion of the funds they have invested in the business.

The April profit is shared out so that Al gets one third, Bob gets one half and Chuck gets one sixth.

In May, Des joins the group, investing half as much as Bob invested.

What share of the profit can Des expect to get?

Al ⅓ -100 bob ½  =150 chuck ⅙ des half of bob=75 dollers
