Silde The Corner - Fast Finish

 Yesterday in wānanga I finished doing my fast finish for slide the corner. The fast finish task this week was to do something you haven't done yet. Since I didn't want to do any of them, I choose to design a rally car. Here is the rally car.

Slide The Corner - Character: Fact Or Opinion

 Yesterday in Wānanga I finished reading chapter 6 - 7. After we read chapter 6 - 7 we have to do a character fact or opinion. The character we have to do is the main character, Greg. We also have to say what is the same and what is different from us. We have to make a copy of a doc and then we work on there. Here is my work.

Slide The Corner - Fast Finish

 Yesterday I finished doing my work for novel study. After we finish doing out work that has been assigned to us we can do fast finish. I choose to do two things for fast finish. The fast finish tasks I choose to do were to make a canva poster of an upcoming rally and research about rally history and make a poster about it. Here are the Posters.

Slide The Corner - Chapter 3 - 5

 Today I read chapter 3 - 5 on Slide The Corner. After we read chapter 3,4,5 we had to do a character table. On the character table, we had to write about the persons personal detail and their characteristic and also their relationships. The people on the table were Greg, Mum, Dad and we also could add more characters. I added Holly and Brad. I added Holly and Bard because they have been in the past 2 or 3 chapters and they have been really kind to Greg. Here is the character table.

Slide The Corner - Gregs Diary

 Yesterday since I finished my work I had to do a fast finish task. There were three things I could choose out of. I did one of them last year and the other one was reading it out loud but I don't feel confident so I am not doing that one. The only other one I can do is make Greg a diary. Here is what I wrote in the diary.
Pages 12 - 15 Date 12 - 5 - 2007 Time: 6:30pm It was another day and I had to be late again. The reason I was late was that I was too bothered looking at the cars. One of the cars I really want but I can’t until I get a job. Back to being late again. Let me tell you what happens when I am late home. Most of the time I have to get to bed without dinner and I have to stay in my room sometimes if I ague I don’t get lunch that next day. I think that it is unfair because if Kitty or William are late it doesn’t matter they still get to have dinner. One of the things I liked about today was that I got into the automotive engineering course. That was a part of my day. - Greg

Slide The Corner

This term we are starting a novel study in Wānanga. The book I am reading is Slide The Corner. The author is Fleur Beale. Before we start reading we have to answer some questions. Here are the answers.

1.I think that the book will be about a rally because there is a car and there are two people in the car and you need two people in the car to do a rally.

2.I think that Slide The Corner means sliding around the corner.

3.I have heard about Fleur Beale. I have read one of her books. The book was Playing To Win. Fleur Beale is a New Zealand fiction writer. She used to be a teacher. The school she used to teach at was Canterbury University. She went to was Victoria University and Christchurch Teachers College to study. 

4.I haven't learnt anything by reading the back of the book all I learnt is that I was right about the car that it is a rally car.

Playing To Win - Book Review

 On Monday I finished reading Playing To Win. Since I have already done a fast finish task our teacher said that we have to do a book review. Playing To Win was made by Fleur Beale. I didn't select the book my teacher did because they thought I could handle some of the stuff that happens in the story. I think the book was very good because it was full of drama but not to much drama and the characters interactions that happened. My favorite part of the book was at the end when Denny and Alice kiss. That we my favorite part because I like the ship and I predicted that it might happen. The characters were: Denny, Alice, Zak, Kyle, Sally, Clara, Todd, Rose, Lucy, Pete, Coach and Rugby boys. My favorite characters are Denny, Alice, Todd and Pete. I would recommend that if you are into rugby and drama you should read this book. I rate this book 5/5

Playing To Win Fast Finish Task - Kahoot

 Today in reading Playing to win group got to finish reading there book. After we finished reading we had to do fast finish task. One of the task was to make a kahoot about the book so I choose that one because it looked fun to make and it would be cool to make something that not most people make. I got to make the kahoot with a partner. My partner to help make the kahoot was my friend Shanaya. The kahoot has 22 questions. Me and Shanaya tried to make the kahoot long because it was a good book and there was lots of things going on. 

Playing To WIn - Fleur Beale

Today in reading since we don't have our discussion questions today and we didn't read anything there wasn't much to do. Since we didn't have much to do we moved onto fast finisher tasks. The fast finisher task that I am doing is getting some information on the author of our story. The author's name is Fleur Beale. She is not  just an author she also used to be a teacher. The school she used to teach at was Canterbury University. She went to was Victoria University and Christchurch Teachers College to study. I don't think that this helped her a bit to write a novel but her family inspired her to keep on writing. Fleur Beale mother was also a writer. Fleur Beale published playing to win in 1999 and it came out to New Zealand in 2006. Her most popular book is "I am not Esther".
