ALWTW Part 4 Discussion Questions

If Salva was older and stronger, I think he would share with the others. But I don't think Salva's Uncle would encourage that Idea.

I think Uncle Jewiir goes back to fight in the war because he feels compelled to help others. 

The groups attitude to Salva changes when his Uncle dies. The group starts to think that Salva will slow them down and complain. Because of this, Salva must work hard to earn his place in the group,

While Salva is in the refugee camp, he follows this woman that he think is his mother but while chasing after her, he comes to the realisation that his family is gone. The memory of his mother and father gives him the strength to survive in the camp. 

Careers Expo

Careers Expo

Today, me and my class headed down to the hall to check out Careers Expo. We were given a piece of paper with a list of questions that we had to answer by walking around and checking out the different booths. 

I went to the BITCO booth and it had a competition were you had to try to get a measuring tape to the top of the ceiling. If you succeeded, you would a get a hat but if you failed, they would give you pencil. I observed people doing that challenge only to find a handful succeed.

Me and my group of friends went to the stage where talked to some girls who ran the police booth where we were given a piece of paper with words. Each word would then have 3 letters next to it which meant the same thing as the words next to it. I only ended up doing half the page with my friend.

ALWTW Part 3 Discussion Questions.

Salva overcomes his fears because he is preoccupied with helping the group with build boats. I Have never experienced anything similar. 

The worst Salva has faced would probably be walking across the blistering hot dessert because he is forced to continue the journey even though his body is going through a lot of pain.

His Uncle helps Salva by asking him if he can walk to a specific part of the dessert. Without his Uncle, he would have most likely been left behind and died because of dehydration. I can make small goals that I know I can accomplish.

"I'm so scared and tired, but I have to keep going."

Week 3 Term 3 Reflection.

Week 3, Term 3, Reflection.

I enjoyed watching the push up completion at lunch and I'm grateful that I finished two of my tasks in DME. In class I learned how to find number that are divisible by 9. Next week, I want to work on completing all of my reading plus tasks.

The wind howled throughout the storm, grabbing everything it it's wake, and swallowing it whole. It screams echoed, for the ocean to hear. The sky cracked with thunder and grey clouds followed it's lead.

The waves crashed against the giant ship, rocking it violently from side to side. Next came the rocks that threw themselves against everything they could, including the ship. An island was only a few miles ahead but the clouds were obstructing the view.

Everyone on the boat was tossed into the sea, only a few incredibly lucky people would be able to survive such a cruel fate. The storm seemed to last for an eternity, Only a few hours ago the weather was clear and sunny. Now this.

Something had to be causing such drastic changes in the weather. The ship was being used to transport ancient artefacts to an island far out of reach from the world called Guacamole Island.

It was an island untouched by humans nor any animals, Just a blank canvas. The perfect place to keep such valuable artefacts. 

Term 3 week 2 Learning reflection

  

In this week of school, I have really enjoyed meeting the Japanese exchange students and being able to talk and play with them. It was the highlight of my week.

In class I learned how to multiply decimals with the help of a punnet square and place value.

Next week at school, I want to try and get my 15 minute writing words over 200.

A long walk to water - Chapter 6 prediction.

A long walk to water prediction.

A the end of chapter 5, Salva hears someone behind him call his name. I willing to guess that the person who called his name if one of his brothers, or someone else in his family.

Mariel tells Salva that they could be heading to Ethiopia.  I think that when Salva and everyone else arrives in Ethiopia, he will get some sort of clue as to where his family member is.
