    In Week 5, we will continue to sharpen our graphing skills by focusing on line charts, and we will dive into reading comprehension techniques. This week, you will learn how to effectively create and interpret line charts while also improving your ability to skim, scan, and infer meaning from texts. We will enhance your understanding by using graphic organizers such as Venn diagrams and concept maps to make connections and deepen comprehension.

    FOCUS / ARONGA Learning Intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on constructing and interpreting line charts to analyze trends over time.
    • We are FOCUSING on improving reading comprehension skills by using inferencing, skimming, and scanning techniques.
    • We are FOCUSING on using graphic organizers like Venn diagrams to compare, contrast, and make connections in texts.
    • We are FOCUSING on combining visual data (graphs) and reading comprehension skills to understand real-world scenarios more clearly.

    Kotahitanga (Unity):

    Just as graphs visually represent the relationships between data points, reading comprehension techniques help connect ideas across different texts. By combining these skills, we can foster deeper understanding and unity in interpreting information.

    Learning Intentions:

    • Students will develop skills in constructing and interpreting line charts.
    • Students will enhance their reading comprehension using inferencing, skimming, and scanning techniques.
    • Students will use graphic organizers to visually represent connections between ideas.
    • Students will apply both graphing and comprehension skills to make sense of real-world data and texts.

    Success Criteria:

    • I can accurately construct and interpret line charts and understand trends.
    • I can use skimming, scanning, and inferencing techniques to comprehend texts effectively.
    • I can create and use graphic organizers to compare and make connections between ideas.
    • I can integrate graphing and reading skills to analyze and understand real-world examples, such as trends in sports or environmental data.

    Prepare for an engaging week of learning as we deepen our graphing skills and refine our reading strategies, making meaningful connections between visual data and text. Together, we will continue to build our knowledge and understanding!
