Novel Study - I am Malala

 Hi guys today in Wananga we are working on our novel study work. I have already read the chapters 14-17 so now I have to do the activities. The activities that we have to do is writing a Summary, doing a Vocabulary, and make an inspirational quote from something that Malala has said. Here is my work and I hope you enjoy.


Summary - 

Chp 14
Her father had wanted her to learn more English so he had given her some shows to watch, the first one named Ugly Betty and Mind Your Language. She did learn some words from the shows but it was mostly in weird accents because of Mind Your Language was spoken in a very strong British accent. Few schools had been blown up during some time. Malala's teacher had sent messages to the girls who went to her school to say that they can still go to school but not wear their uniforms because it would be too dangerous.

Chp 15
She woke up to gunshots because people of Mingora were celebrating a peace treaty. The peace treaty was that the government would impose Sharia if the Taliban would stop fighting. Sharia is basically all aspects of life. Which meant she would be able to go to school, but women and girls would have to cover themselves in public. She had been continuing on doing interviews about girls right to gain an education. The biggest tv channel in her country (GEO TV) wanted to do an interview with her. Her and her dad had done an interview about it. A teenager had been killed by the Taliban, she had come out of her house with a man who wasn't her husband. 

Chp16
Malala and her family were moving for a few because the Taliban were forcing them out. They traveled in Safina's family car, there wasn't much room in the car so the the rest of her family was going in a car with her fathers friend. Malala couldn't take her school books with her she wouldn't have enough room, so she had hid them in a bag that was in the guest room of her house. The had said goodbye to their house and did a prayer for their house and left. At least 2 million people had fled their homes. She missed her home, her school, as well as Ugly Betty.

Chp17
After 3 months she was on her way home, they were driving home, her father had seen the swat valley and started to weep. They reached Mingora and saw the state of it and they all started to cry, it still looked like a warzone. They were scared what their house would look like since they had heard that the houses around them had been looted. When their father had opened the door the first thing they all saw was that their backyard had become a jungle. Her brothers instantly went outside to check on the chickens, they both came back in crying, the chickens weren't there they were just a pile of bones. Malala ran into the guest room to check if her school books were still there, surprisingly they were still there untouched as well. Malala and her father had gone to check on the school to see if anything had happen to it. The school had things painted on the walls and they recon that it had been use for a sniper spot.

Inspirational Quote 

Te Ao Whanui - Treasure Island - Tic Tac Toe

 Hi guys today in Te Ao Whanui I had to look at last weeks work since I was there the whole week since I was sick. What I was reading was something called Treasure island, after I finished the work there was a Tic Tac Toe board we had to do. Here is the work I did for the Tic Tac Toe and I hope you enjoy it.

Recount - The story you just read in your own words pick main events that happened 

There were terrified passengers and crew members watching the ship helplessly not knowing what to do, even though there ship was being thrown around in the sea. The ship was thrown into the entrance of a rocky cave , it was being forced further into the cave. They wanted to jump out in the water and swim to the boats, some decide to actually jump out of the boat and swim. They made it into a lifeboat but the lucky people who were on the lifeboat they looked terrified at their friends and family slowly sinking into the dark water. There were only fifteen survivors, they were rowing for three days trying to find a suitable place for them to survive. They searched for ways to make fire as well as trying to get food even though it would be super hard to do because there was fifteen people that they had to find food for on an island.
Eighteen months later a ship had come to save them. They were all saved, though two survivors went to go search for the treasure but it was never found.


Write a news paper article as if you were a reporting on the events 

General Grant,

Eighteen months ago General Grant crashed, no-one was sure that there would be any survivors, but news came in that a ship went out and saw some people around fifteen on an island which had an fire pit right in the middle. The boat that the people saw when they were on the island was Amherst. The survivors were saved but there was gold that was on that ship that wasn't recovered. No-one knows where this gold is, apparently there was eighty kilograms of gold from Australia's Victorian gold fields, though there had been rumors that there had been more than eighty kilograms of gold on this ship. 


Make a postcard as if you were stranded on the island

Writing Choice

 Hi guys in Wananga we have been doing some work on the weather we have been having over the few days. First you had to make an infographic on some tips and tricks and some things that have happened. After you finish that you have a choice for two writing prompts. One being writing a letter to Mr. Williams or writing a diary entry. I choose to write a diary entry for what I have seeing and experiencing over the few days. Here is what I wrote and I hope you enjoy.

When it stared to rain I was at home watching some YouTube and I suddenly heard the it was raining pretty hard. I thought nothing of it at first because I thought it would just go away because that's what it normally does. the next day it was raining again pretty hard. I heard from my mum that some places had been flooded and some people wouldn't have to go to school because their schools had been flooded. I still didn't really care because we werent flooded. The next morning it was still raining, I was kind of exhausted because I'm not a morning person, still I got dressed and went to school. During school it was raining hard, when walking outside just to get to another class you would get soaked even if you were wearing a jacket. Near the starting of one of the lane ways there was a huge puddle. When school ended I was walking to my car and when I got in I was completely soaked. We got home and I looked out my window it was still raining, our backyard looked like a small pond reaching up to a point of our trampoline, it wasn't that high up but it was the low down. My life was impacted during the few days that this has happened besides being soaked whenever I got to walk outside.

Infographic - Weather

 Hi guys today in Wananga we looked at some articles about the Weather we have been having for the past few days.

Reading comp - Suffrage Movement

 Hi, guys today in Te Ao Whanui I did another reading comp. There was some question on the slide you had to do as well as a creating task with 5 facts about Kate Sheppard. Here is what I did for both of them and I hope you enjoy it.

Only white own-landing men could vote. Kate Sheppard thought it was unfair for only men to be able to vote even though women were just as intelligent enough to vote. The suffrage movement made it for women to be able to vote in New Zealand. Australia was the second country to let women be able to vote. The first women MP was Elizabeth McCombs and she was elected in 1993. Kate Sheppard is on the $10 note.
