WALT: Analyse media with an open but critical eye to inform our own opinions.

Wednesday 7th July 2021 ‘Green Ghana’

In this news article, the main person is Akufo-Addo. The key event from this news article is, when Akufo-Addo promised to make the small-scale gold mining and timber industry regular. This event took place in Ghana, Africa. This event took place on the 17th of June 2021. 

Thinking Questions:

Akufo-Addo promised to make the small-scale gold mining, and timber industry regular.  When one area of the land is tired, then the miners will move. A few plants grow on the mined, or disturbed land. Ghana has grasslands and rain forests.

This event took place in Ghana. Ghana means ‘warrior king’. Ghana is a really hot place in Africa. The most it could go up to is around 30°C (86°F), during the day it can go up to 24°C (75°F).

Glossary:

Jubilee - A special anniversary of an event.

Haphazard - Lacking any obvious principal of organisation.

Krystal - Current Events See-through wings Term 2 2021

WALT: Analyse media with an open but critical eye to inform our own opinions

Today my class and I did a Current Events activity. Have you heard of See-through wings before? Well if you haven't, I read an article about it. It is basically about how see-through wings are mostly on butterflies and on some moths. It mostly speaks about butterflies and moths. One paragraph talks about how people do not know the difference between a moth and a butterfly. Can you tell the difference between a moth and a butterfly? Also I did another activity like last time. I had to do a word find, and find a secret message phrase. Here are my activities!

Tuesday 6th July 2021 See-through wings

In this news article, the main people are the researchers from an American University. The key event from this news article is talking about how butterflies and moths have many differences. This event took place in South America and Colombia. This event took place on the 1st of July 2021. In this news article, it tells us about butterflies and moths. It is also about how some butterflies have see through wings. The researchers also found that tiny waxy bumps, cover the see through wings. In a paragraph it says if you touch a moth or a butterfly wing, you will see tiny dust on your fingers. South America is a continent. South America has 54 countries inside of it. The four I can name are Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and Chile. Colombia is also inside of South America. Colombia is also where this news article took place. Colombia has a lot of interesting and amazing places inside of the country. 

Glossary:

Repel - Drive or force.

Membrane - A thin sheet of tissue or layer of cells.

Bristle - A short, stiff hair on an animal's skin or a man's face.

Thinking Questions:

This article was about a group of researchers from an american university, wanting find out more of

butterflies and moths, but they chose a glasswinged butterfly. Butterflies start out as a larva, or caterpillar and hatches from it. The researchers used a microscopes to examine the glasswing butterfly’s wings.Then it goes on about talking of how some people can’t tell the difference between a moth and a butterfly.

The glasswing butterfly lives in Colombia, in South America, and the Central American countries of

Mexico and Panama.

This event took place in Mexico. Mexico is bordered to the north by the United States. Mexico is the

third largest country in Latin America.

Krystal - Current Events Eusocial Plants Term 2 2021

WALT: analyse media with an open but critical eye to inform our own opinions

Today we did read a story about, researchers from New Zealand going to Lord Howe Island and exploring it. I had to answer some questions and many other stuff. I also had to do an activity about the story. The second activity was to see if you read the story properly. For the first activity I had to do a glossary. A glossary is like a list of words that you don't know, then you find the meaning to it. Here are my activities!
