Compulsory Post- Reflection on Writing Process!

We have been working in this process of writing a fantasy showing text for many weeks. Now it has come to an end. Therefore, before starting another one, I would like to know what you think about it and what you learnt by reflecting on all the different steps that you carried out in this writing process, such as: rough copy, self assessment, clean copy, second clean copy, completing your evaluation rubric.

You might be wondering, why so many reflections. Let me tell you something about "reflection"

Reflective writing tasks lead you to deeper learning. Reflection can help you:
  • better understand your strengths and weaknesses
  • identify areas for improvement
  • acknowledge a positive change in your learning process
Click here and complete the form by July 10th. There is no need to leave a comment here but if you do, extra houses will be awarded!!!

Concert- The Wiz

Finally the time has come.


Your last primary concert. Enjoy every second of it.


Read and reflect on the following quotation from a German tennis player.


"As long as I can focus on enjoying what I'm doing, having fun, I know I'll perform well"


What does he mean?
How can you connect it with your performance in the school concert?

The Bottle Imp

What do you think of the story?
Click
here and you will find one version in English.
This a summary of the story. Hope you enjoy them!




Keawe, a poor Hawaiian fisherman, falls in love with Kokua, a young girl of royal blood. Her father refuses to let him marry her, though, unless Lopaka can bring him two feather cloaks from a rare bird. While searching the mountains for the bird, Lopaka encounters a dying priest of Pele who sells him a wishing bottle in which Kono, the god of the volcanos, is confined. The priest warns him of the dangers of the bottle: if he dies still owning it, he will be damned, and the only way to get rid of it is to sell it for a price smaller than was paid for it. Keawe agrees and wishes to be rich, then marries Kokua and sells the bottle. All is well until Keawe contracts leprosy. To get rid of it, he must acquire the bottle again, and he is forced to buy it for the smallest coin of the realm! To save her husband's soul, Kokua is ready to sacrifice herself by buying the bottle for a smaller French coin. Fortunately, a wicked sailor appears with a still smaller Chinese coin and becomes its final owner when the bottle is lost at sea. Keawe's wealth vanishes, but he is happy to be with Kokua.
