Heroes



This week we started working on the new collaborative project on heroes.



Remember to follow the steps for a successful paraphrasing.


  • Apply the “double check rule.” Return to the original material to confirm you used your own words before submitting your work.

  • It is extremely important for you to do lots of research, that means, read, read and read all the necessary sources so that you find interesting information about your hero.

  • You are doing fine. Keep on working hard and enjoy it!

Hello Miss Ale
It is a good thing to have the rules near us wille doin our work no heros. The more we see it the meore we remembre. It is good to have it in the blog and in the elang. Thank you for helping ose remember so as to have a veter work it is intresting to see that in this year we osed lots of online different tools that will help ose in the futture to do better peces of work. It is also intresting to see that we can leern two things at the same time we learn Language and IT at the same time. I wish to use this tools in the futture the same very use full fore a time to work or to help or selfs get organised. It sames that it is realy how it has to be learn different things at the smae time. I see we have started the two long months of hard work. But they don´t same so boring as I imagened because in the first project we have we gwt to do it with friends of other classes. I WISH IT CONTINUES THE SAME!!!Bye.

Dear Miss Ale: I really think that this tips are very iportant for us all. Not only because of the useful information that you are delivering us all, but also becuase this will be useful for us till the end of our lives. In one of the tips you say that we should read, read read..I think that that is one of the most important facts we should remember while we are paraphrasing, bacause if we don´t read, we won´t learn what he/she did for us and many other important facts that you told us, and most important of all, we should learn, by practising this exercises, to fail and to re-try it, because we are abiously going to fail lots of time before we getto the point we are all trying to get to, and yes, to learn something new and make it last forever, we should now how it feels to fail all what you´ve been trying hard to do, and then getting it right. I do think that paraphrasing is no t that easy, and even more difficult when you are puting in practice all of it in a project, but when you have some very usefull tips, you feel more confortable, and you know that if you don´t remember a step to a sucsessful parapharsing, you can count on your friends, teachers, and even a blog!
I REALLY THING THAT IT IS A VERY GOOD IDEA TO POST A COMMENT ON TIPS ON SOMETHING WE ARE STUDYING AND PUTING ALL OF IT IN A PROJECT!!!!!!
WISH YOU CAN PUT TIPS OF WHAT WE ARE LEARNING AND PUTING IT N PRACTISE!!!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS TIPS MISS ALE!!!!!
SEE YOU SOON...
BYE BYE

Thank you for the tips! They are very important to us because we are just learning to do paraphrasing! In google docs I already did paraphrasing so I don't get lost. Because if we copy and paste and then we don't have more time, we will forget everything. So I like best to go slowly but good!
Thank you for the tips!

see you soon...

I think this tips will serve us to do a very good project!
I think this project is going to be very succesful and I also think that is one of the best projects I have done in 6 because you can share your heroes and find out of a lot op people who maybe you didn't know or who knew but are very interesting for you to investigate about it! It is interesting too because you have the oportunity to work with boys and girls of other classes!
My heroe is Eleanor Roosvelt and I discovered that she wis very interesting to investigate about her!
I'm enjoying very much this project!
Good luck,
Agus.T!

Miss Ale,
Today 6c started working with the work on Heroes. Well at least the people the people of Mar Del Plata started everything today. I started researching yesterday night with the pages you gave us in elang, which were very useful. I really learned a lot with these pages about Helen Keller and I am very anxious to start writing about her. That is what Cami, Maggie and I did today in class, we found a lot of pages that might be useful for 6b and 6a in our group. I love working with Cami and Maggie, we work a lot but we also have fun together while we learn. About the tips you gave us in the post I think they are really useful, because we can look at those tips whenever we need them for this project or for more in life. I am really learning about paraphrasing and all those thinks, which are very useful for everything. I haven´t really realize the importance of paraphrasing till now. I had started writing on a paper and today night I will pass it to the computer, I have found a really good book, that had easy words that I could understand and that help me paraphrase more easily .
Thank you for the tips you gave us, they were really helpful for us. For our group specially, we enter to the blog a lot of times to see if we were paraphraisng all right. We read the tips like 1000 times to be alright. You are right when you say we have to READ READ AND READ all the time, thats the most important tip for me in paraphrasing. And if we read more we understand more the meanings of the words and the sentences.
Thank you so much for adding this tips, they will help everybody a lot. I also help us get organized very good. I hope I follow the tips correctly and do a good project. We have all worked really hard and we are hoping it to be alright.

See you,

Hi there!
I really liked the tips you gave us because they will really help me. I didn´t know about the double check rule and now I´m definetly going to use it. My hero is Eleonor Roosevelt and today I started searching for information about her. I saw that you have a book about her in the class. Maybe tomorrow I can get a look on it. I am really enjoying this project and I hope I can do it well. I´m giving my best.
See you,

Thank you again for the tips! As I sayed, they are really usefull because we are just learning to paraphrase! My hero is Rene Favaloro, he is from Argentina! In the page I have already done paraphrasing, so then I don't forget anything.
I am really sorry because I didn't blogged this weekend, I didn't have Internet! That is why I blogged today morning. I am also sorry if I am not working hard and doing my best, when you told all 6a this. I hope we can get better! But don't worry, I will reflect if I know that there is something I have to change, but if I don't, please let me know! I will always keep on blogging! So don't worry, you won't lose me!
Well, back to the heroe. Today I worked with Caro and Agus with the laptop. They don't really know who Rene Favaloro is, but with the time they will start knowing him! I really like doing this! He is very interesting. I found lots of sources about his childhood and adulthood, and everything else 6a have to do. WE ARE ALL WORKING REALLY HARD!
THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS...
See you tomorrow...

Miss Ale,
Thank you for the tips, they will be very usefull. I like this proyect because we are not only working with classmates of our class, we are also working with persons of other classes ! (a and b) Thats fun, Well, I will try to make my best ! The tips of reading is very importaint. It will not only help us to know about our hero, it will also improove our vocabulary. As far as i have red on some sites on the internet, there some words i learned, new words. Some I could understand because of the things it said in the sentence, I could have a little idea of what it was. But i wasnt SOOO sure. Other words i couldnt understand. totally not. Well, I hope It goes well on the proyect ! I will try to do my best !
Bye bye miss ale see you tommorrow !

very useful tips it would be very good to apply them on the google docs.tomas.s

Anonymous said...

Miss Ale...
Those tips are very usefull so that our google doc will be very juicy. This project is really fun because A,B,C look for different information and then with all the information their is a really good biography of that person. When I am paraphrasing I realize that I do not memorise the information I see that I am learning. In my doc we have been looking for a lot of information and really leave a lot of comments with information for other groups.
See you tomorrow,

I think that before this project we weren't used to look thaat of information, athough we looked some information. Too I think that we excersised a lot about paraphrasing and we are doing good. We were succesful and although the hard work we enjoyed . But the thing that I most value is that we can work with people of other grades. Marcos

Thanks very much for that tips, they are very useful.. I think they are all very important!!
We can do copy paste with out thinking about it and thenchange some words because you only want to finish the work.
We practiced a lot with the google docs though I didn't had much to write because the day they started the project my group did a lot and when I came again to school I didn't find any more information! Of course a part from that we practiced a lot!! I would like to keep on learning of these because the truth is that its not so easy and is a very important topic!!!!
WELL SEE YOU SOON AND HAVE A NICE WEEK!
