City of Ember Instructions

We were reading the City of Ember and found this in the back of the book.

We paired up in twos and tried to figure out as much as we could,

we found out that they were instructions that were from the begining of the book.

The next step we did was come together and helped eachother to work out what some of the words were. We figured out:

I found it easy to mirror my name from one side to the other.

City of Ember Wordle

This is my description of The City of Ember.

I was describing the City of Ember to put a picture in your head of what it looks like to be underground in a small town with fail lights, with the things you need to survive that are running out!

It has a weird education that when your twelve you get a job.

Where the Mayer doesn't even know what he's doing.

Wouldn't you wander what you could do to save the city?

I encourage you to read The City of Ember where there are let downs and amazing adventures, problems to solve and disasters to fix. But if you think books are not your thing then you should watch the movie.

Math Problem

My Reflection:

I was learning to make a square out of 9 different sizes of paper.

Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example

Reflection

I was learning to look at the characters from Cry of the Taniwha, identify their personalities and how they behave (in other words their charcteristics). This is called a prejudice mind map and I used this to help me to find the evidence of how the characters behaved. I enjoyed thinking of ways to descibe Skulla.  My next step is to try this same prejudice map with a different story.
