My Reflection:

Audio Conference Room 25


My Reflection:

Yesterday room 25 did a audio conference on a website called Learnz.  We went on a virtual trip called the Routeburn track.  I worked on question number 6 with my partner Aliah.  I was taking the notes and Aliah was reading the questions. We learnt how to note-take and note-make (the note-taking is in black and the note-making is in blue).  I didn't find any thing tricky about this because I paid attention.  Next time I would  like to do another virtual trip because it told me a lot of facts about the Routeburn track.

Learning To Write a Readers Response


My Reflection: 
I am learning to write a readers response to a text .
It was tricky to remember all about Caesar because we did part of the story every day . I enjoyed learning about Caesar because I was learning a lot about World War 1.  I would like to do another readers response because I love reading and learning new things.
