Kia ora bloggers,
When reading a book, have you ever been curious about something you were reading, and wanted to find out more to help you understand what you were reading better? We have been learning about how important this is this week in Literacy.
When we read The Magic School Bus inside the human body’ I formed some advanced questions using ‘how’ and ‘why’. I made sure they were open-ended questions that would help me understand the book more. An example of one of my questions was “Why are intestines coiled up?’ and I then researched and found out that an adult's intestine is 7.5m long, so it needs to coil up so that it fits in the body.
Next, we got to chose our own book to read out of our virtual library and we had to form 3 advanced questions about it. Ours create task this week was to share these in a creative way. I chose to do it with Google Drawing and it was about a book called ‘endurance.
I really enjoyed this task as it made me realize how important it is to do this when reading to understand the text better.
Question time: Do you ever do further research when you are reading a book to deepen your understanding?
(PS Could not put the video on for some reason sorry)
