Taking the Bait

Week 7  Term 2 -  Connected 2012 - Level 4 Oceans - Taking the Bait-By Kate Potter.

WALT: We are learning to make predictions using visual cues and our prior knowledge on the topic or title and by reading the text..

Few weeks back I have been working on my reading with my group. I have been learning about predicting.
I think when we predict it really helps us with our reading.  It has been fun learning with my group. We learned about Lot of things. I have learning about my summary. This is what I have been doing in the past few days.  

Summary  
There was a  crew of men's going out fishing for fish. They have been working on an experiments they had discovered that the birds would dive for them. This is about dave and his crew he is also an inventor. One day him and his crew were throwing pilchards that is a type of over slice of their boat to attract tuna.  They went to fish They have been working as a team to try to help the fishers and the sea bids.

What are four questions you would ask one of the animals.

I would ask the phytoplankton If he was really,really small how would he go shopping with lots of people around stepping him.  

I would ask him how do you get really small but you are so strong that you can eat a burger is that right or not. I also want to ask you what do you look like.

I would ask the phytoplankton what do you like eating. If you could eat an apple in 10 minutes then how could you eat a burger in 5 minutes. I would really love to know lots of things about you.   

I would also want to know are you scared of anything I think you are scared of a dogs because you are really small that you can't even look at a dog . What if a little baby was looking at you would he or she cry or would pick you up and eat you.

3. Write a paragraph summary explaining if Pluto is a planet, and why/why not.  

I think Pluto was known as the smallest planet in the solar system and the ninth planet from the sun. from now on Pluto is called a dwarf planet. A dwarf planet orbits the sun just like other planets, but it is smaller. Pluto was are plant put now it is a dwarf planet because international astronomical union decided that pluto should not be a plant from now on.
