New Zealand Flag

Today in class we were talking about why and why not we should change the NZ flag. We were sent in groups to write down why we should change the flag and why not to change the flag. I worked collaboratively with my class mates Zeba, Mahdia and Oh Hsen . We then had to make a t - chart and write our answers.  When we went down onto the mat and we gave our answers to Mrs Anderson. We then individually got our voting papers, and the voting papers had both pictures of the flags. We voted and the flag I choose was the old flag because it represented the soldiers when they went to war. The old flag also represents NZ's history. Our LI: was to have an informed choice and our SC: was to read both sides of the t - chart, be respectful to others opinions and choose the side of the t - chart that makes more sense.

This week for writing we learnt the structures of CSP (Characters, Setting and Problem). We used the hook to start off our orientation. There are four parts to the hook and they are action, dialogue, setting and sound. We had many different pictures which had the CSP including the hook. This is what I wrote for my orientation.
