Malala yousafzai Poster

 

For reading LS2 has been learning about Malala Yousafzai who is a Pakistani education activist and when she only 16 when she gave her powerful speech to the UN(United Nations). She fought for education and equality rights for everyone but mostly girls, when she went on the bus to school she got shot by the Taliban in the left side of her face thinking it would silence her. But she only came back stronger and because that happened, that’s when she realized that girls and many other people have the problem of not being able to go to school, so she fought. She fought for everyone to have the luxury of going to school and learn many things. Her story is very important and she should be more well known. So my reading group and I created a poster that shows people one of her famous quotes, the quote we chose was “One child, one Teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” because we all thought it was a very powerful quote in our opinions.                                                              

Group 3 provocation

LI: To evaluate (form an opinion) the text and respond to the provocation

  • We read the text RISE UP: The Story of the Dawn Raids and the Polynesian Panthers and asked to create a DLO that explores and discusses both perspectives of this historical event in our groups. Something I found interesting about this text was learning new things about the Polynesian panthers and the dawn raids, also learning about a actual Polynesian panthers experience also I loved the teamwork and the other thing I found interesting in the text is how much people became Polynesian panthers for real and how much people joined to help and support them.

Once a panther comic strip

  • LI: To identify the key historical context and events related to the Polynesian Panthers and the Dawn Raids as depicted in the graphic novel.

This week for reading, our teacher gave us a challenge to do a google doc with questions that we answered based on the dawn raids, we are currently learning about the dawn daids, after we finished our questions on the dawn raids. We had a very cool task to get into our reading groups and create our very own comic strip. We used Google slides to create our comic strips, I really enjoy learning about the dawn raids and the Polynesian panthers I suggest that we all learn about the Polynesian panthers, we used speech bubbles to signalize the people are speaking and we made people to also signalize that the people are the ones speaking
