4 May - 10 May

Kia ora. It was a short week last week, so this week we are going to continue the work we started last week.  I have added an additional task for those of you who managed to get some work done last week.

We are thinking about our new context; Unknown/Unexpected  What do these words mean to you and how do they link?  How do you cope when something unexpected or unknown occurs?  Do you have any strategies?  How can you make sure that you are not impacted negatively long term by unknown or unexpected events?  What about other people?  How do they cope with the unexpected?  This term we are going to start by looking at an extended text (novel) where the protagonist has to deal with an unknown threat or unexpected event.  A story with a twist in the tail would be the best place to start.  I would therefore like you to select a novel you have access to (that is appropriate for Year 10 reading).  You may want to look at the ebooks in the school library or may have a home library you can use.  I would like you to be able to tell me the name of your novel by the end of this week.

Success Criteria: I can/have...

• select an extended text
• read the text
• identify elements of text structure
• make notes around the elements of structure
• write to explain

Activities (Google classroom):

1. Read the first 1-2 chapters of your novel. Identify the setting (place and time) and main characters and make notes/quotes that describe the setting and characters
   
2. Read chapter 3-5 and make notes about any indications you have of the problem or complication in the early stages of the text.  Remember to include quotes with page and paragraph numbers
