Titi’s Reading Learning Story.
“This bittersweet tale had the publishing world buzzing”. Glam Reads 2009’s best books- Best Book to curl up with, Glamour.
What’s the name of your book? Well, my one’s called Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater. I found out that my book is a Fantasy book. I think that fantasy makes you imagine about anything you want. And most importantly, I think that fantasy isn't just for children. Becoming a teenager, rites of passage, facing failure and defeat, coming to terms with betrayal and disappointment - all the stuff of emerging adult life also has to be faced and coped with.
“The real purpose of books is to trap the mind into doing its own thinking”.- By Christopher Morley.
I am working on trying to find out what this book is about. What made me read this book was the praises at the start of the book for example “Shiver is a haunting, breathtaking and original supernatural love story that will have you hooked from the very first page... The quality of the writing makes this a novel that will stand out in the crowd”. This made me want to read this book.

Whenever there is a sentence or word I don’t understand I read it again and again until I understand it. I located information about my book by skim and scanning to find keywords and important ideas. I inferred ideas by working something out from what happens in the text to work out ideas that are not stated in the text.
Here’s a link to my screencasting:

The first thing we did was rest/play. While we were resting/playing we watched others to see what they did to be good. We also cheered people on and encouraged them to keep on trying. Encouraging was something I did all day. I was a brilliant cheerleader. I enjoyed encouraging my peers so that it would motivate them to achieve their personal best. In a way it made me feel as though I was responsible for a little bit of my peers accomplishments and happiness. Only a little bit. Then we moved on to discus. I think I tried my best to get silver even though my goal was to get gold but at least I tried. I had to learn how to hold a discus before I threw it and to throw it in the right direction. I think I improved on my real throw because I took the teacher’s advice. The teacher's advice was to

Art Learning Story.

What is surrealism art? Surrealism began as a philosophical movement that said the way to find truth in the world through the subconscious mind and dreams. Surrealist works often show familiar things in unexpected or impossible ways. Art is not my thing. But I stepped out of my comfort zone and had a try. I was really good at relating to others because I asked for advice on what colors I could use. In my art, I combined a guitar and my face. It shows that music is my passion. My hair has patterns in it which show my culture which is Samoan. The K.C skills I used was self-managing. I focused and chose the right people and the right place to get my art done. I didn’t distract other people and I shared my ideas. I was struggling with the equipment because it was too thick like the pastel. So I knew that my next steps were to not draw small patterns or else it will be hard to color. My advice for those people who don’t like art is to not be shy and just draw. Don’t be
