Term 4 is a time to recap

Hi Bloggers
This Term we will be doing a bit more reading of your own choice, looking at magazines and Newspapers and doing some quizzes.
Please bring in a magazine you enjoy reading- anything at all, but remember you will be justifying your choice :)

Culture Shock

I hope you were all watching the news today as there were some good articles on culture all relating to the Rugby World Cup.
They would have provided some good clues to you all :)
I guess by now you will all be into your novels and starting to make your  mind up as to the cultural differences you are finding. I hope to meet with you tomorrow, so let me know if you need help.

Well done Radio Stars

You were awesome! I had no idea we were going live today at Compass FM, so you all did very well. I hope you enjoyed the visit as much as I did.
You now know what we are looking for in your reviews....

This week we are going to be looking at Cultural Perspectives. I know some of the books may be a bit different to those you have been used to reading, but please give it a go. You may enjoy it. As always, if you have a problem - please talk to me, or your parents. We are here to help you ; )

Enjoy the challenge and you will go far.
Who's going to be first to respond?

Term 3 is all about research

By now you will have noticed that Term 3 is all about research. The work is getting harder, but just think how well prepared you will be for High School and the Kid's Lit Quiz next year!
I am impressed with how well most of the group are performing and I hope you are enjoying the challenge.
Next week we are going to be looking at novels that focus on a different culture, so if you have any you think may be of interest, bring them along. Extra points for books that fit the criteria.
I am looking forward to visiting Compass FM on Sunday, so let's get some reviews done and you never know, you may be on air next week...
Keep reading -  you are doing well :)
