October 23, 2012 Learning log

What we did:

         Today we went to the library, we talked about and read about the problems in Woodleighville, the fictional town from a class in Australia, such as: the Riot, Woldi, and Cyclone Mike. We typed out our letters to the editor on the computers replying to one of the issues in Woodleighville. We had to either agree or disagree, suggesting solutions, and relating to it.

Why we did it:

         We talked and read about Woodleighville so that we can learn more about the town of Woodleighville and make typing the letters a lot easier. We did a response / letters to the editor to practice our English, and doing a project/assignment with grade 8's from Australia is fun because you have no idea who they are.

How this is useful:

         I think that this will help us because we are typing out letters that people other than your class/teacher will be seeing. It will help us build our confidence and we will be more careful with our spelling and grammar.

Homework:

  1. Finish up the letters to the editor.
  2. Read more about Woodleighville if you haven't already.

Tips:

  • Ms. Lees linked to this page to help with the letters.
  • Type it out in Word first because Word has spelling and grammar check.
