International World News (Current Events)

L.I: Exploring international current events.
This week for Reading we used Google Maps and looked international news that follow either of these reasons; Timeliness, Relevance, Magnitude, Unexpected, Impact, Reference, Oddity, Conflict, Negative, Continuity, Emotions, and Progress. Working in small groups, we located where the event took place and pinned them on the collaborative map. Using sites such as Kiwikids News and NZ Herald. Last week we looked at national news meaning stuff only happening in New Zealand. Now we are exploring things that are happening all around the world, international. We found some very interesting world archives, such as the fire in the Amazon Rain-forest.

Daily Information

L.I: To use a range of comprehension to go deeper into a text.
This week for reading we have been looking at the 6 news categories. National, International, Business, Sports, Entertainment and Weather. This week we had to get into groups and create a DLO or website including each of the topics but except for Weather. The leaders/editors of the groups were the people from Rudolph the Reading Reindeers. Victoria, Nyjah, Jack, Alex and Joseph but on the day that we were organising who is in which group, Joseph was away. In my group I had Jonathan, Karlos, Matthew, Xavier and Mele. First we discussed who would be doing which category, what we were going to use to put all our information on and the title of our news paper. We agreed that we would be using a google slides and the title of our news paper would be - Daily Information. My job as editor was to make sure we the people in my group were doing their work correctly/properly and make sure their information is true and make sure it is not all copy and pasted. I worked on Entertainment, Xavier and Karlos worked on Business, Matthew worked on national, Jonathan worked on international and Mele worked on Sports. The newspaper had to include an attributed image so it could help the reader understand or have a view of what is going on or what it is, the date, a title for the newspaper and who it was was written by. Also, the event had to have happened anywhere from the 28th of November to the 4th of December.
