Reading: What Is Inferring?

Hi today I am going to tell you about what inferring is.
Inferring is where you 'read between the lines' in a story.

when the author is said something but you need more information about it, you look at the photos if there is some if there is not you think about, what you think is going to happen with out seeing whats happing.

Here is an example of what inferring is:

The colours are muted - there is not much light in the room, there are no windows.

The concrete that had shielded them from the blast - There was a nuclear bomb.

Here is a photo from the text that I got the inferring from.

Reading - The Bullet

The Bullet

Hi today I am going to tell you about a story I have read, the story is called The Bullet.

The story is about a girl and a boy, they moved to a new house and they are starting there new school, Rodney is the boys name, the girls name is Charmaine, Rodney is getting bullied, Charmaine she has great friend and doesn't know that her brother is getting bullied.

Summary

When Rodney goes to the new school he is bullied, but when he finds the bullet he think he is cool and stuff, but when he sees the man that had the bullet get arrested, he learned his lessons.

Questions/Answers:

I think Rodney doesn't care about who the bullet owner is cause in the book it says, So what Its mine. like he doesn't care that it came out of the dodgy mans car.

I dont know the point of why Rodney picked up the bullet and in the book it doesn't say why he wants it, I think the reason he picked up the bullet is cause he has never seen it before and thinks its ins testing.

I found some clues of why the man probably goes to jail.

1. when the man drives away he doesn't look like he can drive and he probably stole the car.

2.And he looks like he sells smokes and drugs to people cause the way he came up to Rodney.

The reason Rodney near the end of the story think hes cool, and then hes thinks he not cool is cause he has a bullet. And acts all cool but when he sees that the person who had the bullet goes to jail the lesson is that not all cool guys are good guys.

Rodney changed when he found the bullet cause he acts all cool when he goes to school the next day.

I think when Charmaine says guys like him, cause Rodney is starting to act like the man and when she says that he realize he should just be himself.

The author's message is, when you find something that looks call you dont take it you leave it cause it could end up making you have something bad in the future.

Benny - Drama

Benny - Drama

Hi today I am telling you about what we have been doing for the past week we had to draw stuff about a book.
The book is called "Benny". We go given a piece of paper and we had to fulled to into 6 squares.
Then the teacher read parts of the story and when to finished reading the part we had to draw the main event in the part. 
On the back of the paper we had to draw a person and choose from Benny or I.
In the person we had to put there emotions they felt and what we think they are like and there personality.
The teacher showed us a thing called Iceberg, at the bottom of the iceberg we had to put stuff down that was not in the story.
Here my work:

School Journal October 2013 - Kahawai

School Journal October 2013 - Kahawai
Hi today I am going to tell you about a book I am reading Kahawai, This book is about two girls there names are Trish and Areta, and they are trying to find some rubbish that is good and that can sell for a lot.
But they find something that is surprisingly would be the only one alive, the thing they found was a fish in polluted water, the fish is called Kahawai.
Heres a photo of the fish:

Questions/answers:

Aretas personality is calm and colonnaded cause in the book when Areta speaks she is calm and not really worried.

I think the story is set when the world is polluted and when Areta, and Trish when they go out to sea it looks like it sunrise and when they catch the fish it nearly sunset so noon.

Trish felt surprised but really happy when they cached the kahawai, probably because it would sell for a lot.

The aurther probably made this story to tell people when you find something that is rare put it back so then they can make more of the thing.

Radiation Is something that can badly hurt you or even kill you cause it can brake up the DNA cells. There are different types of radiation that you can find, I found this information of a website here the link if you want to learn about radiation.

Trish and Areta are trying to find some rubbish that is good and that can sell for a lot. But they find something that is surprisingly would be the only one alive, the thing they found was a kahawai in polluted water.

I think before the story began they packed some lunch for them with some water, and then they drove to the beach with the boat and then put there gear on and then the story started.

Heres my activity i did about the story Its not that great but i tried:

Tom and the Look-around by Sue Gibbison

Tom and the Look-around by Sue Gibbison
Hi today I am going to tell you about what I have been reading, I only started reading it yesterday and I found it really cool to read.

Cause it was about a boy named Tom, he was at the beach fishing and he heard something behind him.

What do you think was behind him?

Tom went to his grandad for the weekend since his Mum had work and Tom did not like that, because his grandad house did not have internet.

Question/Answers:

I can relate to Tom cause when were angry we go and do something we love, Tom likes fishing and I like to play with dogs.

Tom handled his angry really well cause he just left when his mum was talking about why she had to leave him there.

When Tom started to calm down he went to the beach and I think that made him even calmer, cause of the nice breeze.

While Tom was angry he could of not shouted at his mother and just agreed with his Mum instead of doing the opposite.

Tom and Kekeno are so different in so many was, but they have a connection to each other some how.
Heres my work:

The Lack of Pigeons

The lack of Pigeons

Hi today I am going to tell you about a book I have been reading its a short kids book with 1-5 pages. Its about a girl named Meredith she looks around the age 10 or 11.

I found this book fascinating for me to read cause Meredith, pretended to be a Hollywood star, Its her dream to be a star of a movie.

I chose to recreate the book cover cause I wanted to try and create a cover for a book so i thought of this book to make one of.

I did a activity where you go to canva and try and make you own cover of a book.

Questions/Answers:

Meredith's personality is bright, shed be the one who wants to make friends with everyone, and would be the one to help you if your down.

Meredith lied about having an audition, I think she did that so she could make everyone proud about her going to an audition.

In this story I think the author is telling a story about what they have done, like the author did the same thing when they where younger.

Meredith's Mum did really think about it when Meredith tell her Mum about what she has been telling everyone.

If there really was an audition I think Meredith would of been panicking when she got there, and prodaly got a not as important character.

If you have any feed back or what i need to improve, about my work can you please comment it.
Have a great day bye.
