Jonathan-NZ Jobs In 1870

This week for reading we had to be in a group of four and we looked for information about jobs in the 1870s.  We made a compare and contrast chart.  We had to draw 3 circles in google draw and we had to look for information about the roles of 1870 Men and Womens jobs.  We only found 4 jobs that both men and women did back then and these are in the middle of our 3 circles.

Tunnel Vision

Lee’s eyes widened and he grinned when he saw what was ahead.  Kerry bit on her bottom lip and frowned slightly.

Even though they could see the end of the tunnel, it looked very small, a long way off and it was very dark in the middle.  

Water dripped down the walls at the entrance and there were puddles inside the tunnel.

Kerry looked at the light sandals on her feet.  

She was sorry now that she’d argued when she was told to wear boots.  

Lee, meanwhile, had control of the torch and was shining the beam on the dripping walls.

Although it was summer it was quite cold in the tunnel.  She rubbed her bare arms to keep warm.

“This used to be a train tunnel,” said Robert, as they went deeper into it.  “They dug up the rails and now it’s part of a walkway.”

Kerry was trying to avoid the pools of water that she knew were there, but couldn’t see.

 As they walked, Robert told them the story of the railway line that used to go over the hills  and how there were many short tunnels. He told of how it was a long, slow and difficult journey.  These days there is just one long tunnel under the hills and you are through to the other side in just seven minutes.

It wasn’t til they reached the end that Kerry realised that the only way back to the car was through the tunnel again.

a.  How was Kerry feeling when they were at the tunnel entrance?   She felt sorry  Why did you say that? Because she is going to ruined you light sandals.

b.  Why was Kerry sorry that she’d argued?

She argued about to wear boots .

c.  Why couldn’t Kerry see the pools of water?

Because lee that has the torch.

d.  Why had the rails been dug up?

Because robert  want to tell the story about the rail.  

Reaction question: I have no reaction.

Do you think Kerry should have been better prepared for the walk through the tunnel? Yes   Why do you say that? Because there is going to be there  lots of walking to water pond and digging .

This week for reading I have been writing answers with the question and it was every hard to do but I done it by reading the text and answering the question . And also the the answering part is hard too so the blue text is the answer's for my reading .

Two day wonder

     Yesterday…

I woke up feeling sick and lazy

The street was gloomy and very dark

the sky was grey and dull,

the people are rushing and stressed

The rain pours down on my face as I race

to the classroom.

Today

I woke up feeling fantastic and energetic

The street was upbeat and sunny

the sky was blue and bright,

the people are strolling and relaxed

The sun shines down on my face as I amble

to the classroom.

 Today me and my partner did Juxtaposition is when you have two different situations then put them side by side to create a contrasting effect. Lastly we wrote our own version of a poem similar to David Hill's but for this one it was based on our way to school. The DLO on the top is the poem. Reading a poem with low level words such as sad and happy can be very boring. To help us discover more vocabulary and to help us make our poem more powerful we used a cline. This is a resource that helps develop better words.  and me and my partner make powerful words
