Prediction

My reflection :

Reading

Bias Chapter 8 of the Whale Rider Story

I choose these parts because It shows Koro Apirana being bias to Kahu. Koro Apirana is getting grumpy. . This is chapter 8 of the whale rider story. We had to go through and find the sentences about Koro Apirana being bias to Kahu. And this is what I found. I have highlighted these ones because It shows Koro Apirana being bias to Kahu. He is being bias because he didn't want Kahu to be a girl and Koro Apirana is getting angry because she is not a boy.  And in his family the oldest child is always going to be the chief . Also in Koro Apirana's family all the leaders have been a boy and they have no girl leaders .  So that is why Koro Apirana doesnt like Kahu being a girl
 Bias is  Focusing on one side of the story.  It could be forms of racism, sexism or other cultural beliefs.  It can involve people forming stereotypes.

My Reflection :
  I enjoyed doing this activate because I have never done it before but we have talked a lot about bias so I did know what bias meant .  Next time I need to work on finding more bias parts because I only found 3 .

My Reflection:
Room 20 has been doing a reading challenge .  I have read 6 books already . Billion air boy , Thea Stilton, Timmy failure , demon dentist , tattoo mum and weirdo 2 . I find it a bit tricky to find books that fit the category's.   I am gonna try really hard to read all 20 books .

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.
