In reading we have been learning to skim and scan. We read the articles first and then practised skimming and scanning. Skimming is reading quickly in order to get a general overview of the material. Scanning is reading quickly in order to find specific facts. The facts we needed to find were about the Olympic Games. We found some very interesting facts. Did you know that there is actually a fourth medal?
Read Jakob A's fact file. Just click on the picture and it will take you to some facts, then click on the picture of the house and it will take you back 'home' so you can click on another button.
We have also been creating our own Olympic mascots. We looked at the current mascots and mascots of the past and decided to create one just in case the Olympics ever came to New Zealand. We used a new google tool called Chrome Canvas. For most of us, it was the first time we have used it.
Have you ever used Chrome Canvas? What did you create?
Here's Camille's NZ Olympic Mascot.
Kia ora Room 1,
ReplyDeleteI have viewed Camille's mascot and was amazed with the creativity the Chrome Canvas allows you to have. I had a go at drawing with it and it took me while to work out I could get my own colours.
What other tips have you got that would help me use this tool?
