Blog Title: Term 1 Novel Study

Term 1 Novel Study

This term I have been reading and studying the novel Abandon Ship

I found this novel interesting because I really enjoyed the past of the story and the characters, I also really enjoyed reading along with debbie about her grandfather's diary.

During the novel I had to complete two major assessment tasks. The first is an Explain Map which shows the consequences of a major event in the book. The second was a Describe++ Map (Inference map) which shows I how I have connected prior knowledge and other experiences to what I have been reading to make an inference.

• Explain Effect - Wahine Disaster
• I can make an inference about the ideas within the text, between texts and beyond the text Describe++ Map

National Standard this covers

• Year 7/8  Standard
• using several pieces of information to make inferences
  using their prior knowledge, along with information in the text, to interpret abstract ideas, complex plots, and sophisticated themes
• I can use a range of strategies, such as inferring, to work out more complex words.
