Learning Skills Success Criteria for TERM 2 are now posted in the classroom. What are your learning, social and personal goals for the next 4 months?
Storytelling at Jesse Ketchum *Storytelling has begun! Students have chosen short stories and teachers are available at recesses and lunches to provide support. The event will happen after March Break, giving you plenty of time to either get on board if you haven't already or to continue practicing!
For Aboriginal people, storytelling is both a gift, and a very old custom, sanctioned by the people, to teach, entertain, and remember.

Drama & Reading
*Learn about the elements of drama to communicate feelings, ideas and stories
The elements of drama are:
1) role/character
(consider the inner and outer life of a character; sustain roles; vary positions -full front, back, profile)
2) Relationship
(between characters)
3) Time and Place
(setting)
4) Tension
(using audio, visual and stage effects like lighting to heighten suspence and engage audience)
5) Focus and Emphasis
(identify key emotions, themes, draw audience attention to specific aspects of drama)
How are the elements of drama used in the above images?
*Continue reading from the novel Run by Eric Walters. Keep a reading journal. Apply reading strategies, use drama and art to develop your understanding and make connections with the text.
Ms.Perlmutter,
ReplyDeleteCan we use powerpoint for our presentation?
Q:How do you measure the area of a rectangle?
ReplyDeleteA:I think there is 2 ways. The first is to measure the length and width, and then multiply one by the other. For example, if the width is 4cm and length is 6cm, the area is going to be 24㎠. Because, 4×6 is 24. The other way is to draw the rectangle on graph paper then count the squares in the rectangle. For example, if the width is 5cm and length is 8cm, there is going to be 40 squares of 1㎠. Then you’ll know that the area is 40㎠.

DeleteQuestion: How to find the Area of an triangle?
DeleteAnswer: First you multiply one side of the triangle onto the other one, as you do it on a square. You will egt the area of a square. But then you divide it in 2 and it equals the Area of the triangle.
Example: There is an equlateral triangle its side is 4 cm. -
1) 4 times 2=8 cm2
2) 8:2=4 area of triangle

Q:What simple machine is displayed below?,
ReplyDeleteWhat do people use this machine?
A:The simple machine is called Pulley, people use Pulley to pull/push something they can't reach.For example:when someone push the flag so the flag can reach top of a pole,they use pulley to help them.
Analyzing a cover page of cook book
ReplyDelete-Picture
It makes me want to cook or eat the foods in the book.
e.g. angry birds, manga, foods looking delicious.
-Colourfull/bold title
e.g. COOK BOOK, flavors and fantastic recipes
-Message
It’s catchy
e.g. let’s cook!
I'm soooooo exiting to make the cover page!
Q~ How are transformation used in this tessellation?
ReplyDeleteA~ The transformation is reflection and rotation. I know this because you can see the same thing on the page but turned 40 degrees.
How do you measure the area of a rectangle?
ReplyDeleteI measure the area of a rectangle by multiplying by length times
width witch eaqels the area of the rectangle
These are the answers to the science questions on the blog site.
ReplyDelete1. This simple machine is called a pulley.
2. They use this machine to lift heavy objects to higher levels.
3. It makes simpler because you do not have to carry the object.
4. The force that is being used is 'pull'. As you are pulling on a rope.
Have a great day.

How do you measure the area of a rectangle?
ReplyDeleteYou need to know that area tells you how much space is inside the rectangle.
A rectangle has 2 equal sides of length and 2 equal sides of width.
Formula: Area = Length x width
There are two ways to find the area of a rectangle.
1. Multiply the length and the width.
For example, my ruler has a length of 15cm and a width of 3cm.
Using the formula Area = 15cm x 3cm. The answer is 45㎠
2. Adding the number of squares.
Using 1 centimetre square grid paper draw the ruler on it.
*Remember to only add the squares inside the drawing
If you add the squares inside the ruler that is 15cm x 3cm
the answer will be 45㎠ (45 squares that are 1㎠ each).
TAKE THE QUIZ!
ReplyDeleteTrue or False: Pulleys and gears change the speed, direction, and motion of, and force exerted on, moving objects. TRUE
True or False: It is impossible to measure forces to determine how they affect structures and mechanisms. This information is not needed to guide the design of new structures and mechanisms. FALSE
Force is measured in Newton’s. The Builder of anything (elevators) must pay attention to the force that will be on it like total weight (Maximum number of people and weight).
THE NEXT TIME ANYONE IS IN THE ELEVATOR YOU WILL SEE THE SIGN POSTED.
My Dad says in Japan they have so many earthquakes that the designers are making buildings that are able to move shift/twist slightly and not collapse.

ReplyDeleteQ:Why are visual aids so useful in a presentation?
ReplyDeleteA:It's because people might be curious of the picture and if they see the picture they might know more facts about the person/place or thing.
YAAAAA! GOT MY YELLOW BELT AT 2:16 OH YA
ReplyDeleteQ TAKE THE QUIZ!
ReplyDeleteTrue or False: Pulleys and gears change the speed, direction, and motion of, and force exerted on, moving objects.
A True
Q:What features are used on a cookbook cover?
ReplyDeleteA:The features used on a cookbook cover are:
A picture of a recipe that is in the cookbook,the tittle has a description of what type of foods you are making for example:"Gour-
ment Foods",the author's name and maybe a small description of what
type of recipes you will make in the cookbook.
I am so exited about storytelling!!
ReplyDeleteQ: What simple machine is displayed below?
ReplyDeleteA: The simple machine displayed below is a pulley.
Q; Why do people use this machine?
A: People use this machine because it is easier to lift heavy objects such as bricks, wood, and metal.
Q:True or False: Pulleys and gears change the speed, direction, and motion of, and force exerted on, moving objects.
ReplyDeleteA:True
Q: How does it make work simpler?
ReplyDeleteA: You can make work simpler(easier) by using machine. For example, use printer(copy) instead of drawing over and over. Use food processor instead of cutting with knife or smashing with your hand.
I think that it would be amazing to have a gallery walk because I lke art and paintings. Yester yester yester yesterday me and my group of simon, sabrina, daravone, and adea werebuilding a bridge.We also did a wind test on it, the results were- It didnt move. By the way the bridge we made is a x bridge. Now we should test the bridge on how strong and stable it is (pull it down with a special thing).

Sorry Moeka I did not come to school for your last day.I am sick.The pencil case u wanted to give me,give it to Betty so she can give it to me after school.If that is ok with Betty.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And good luck at Japan.
I will miss u alot.

Q:What simple machine is displayed below?
ReplyDeleteA: A pulley. It's a machine which for example maybe construction workers use to carry heavy objects.
Q:Why do people use this machine? How does it make work easier?
A:We use pulleys because it would make it easier for people to do our work.We would not have to work so hard.We use pulleys to lift heavy objects. Like those big long machines construction workers use to carry bricks and parts of buildings. Imagine if we had no pulleys and we had to carry those huge bricks and parts of buildings with our hands.
You measure a rectangle by multiplying the length and width together.
