Workshop EL3 Reading

Workshop EL3 Reading

Today I participated in my el3 reading workshop. 

Our teacher handed  us a piece of paper of a grid. Also our teacher gave us some school journals. As a group we had to communicate and try find out what type of writing text that the author has used in the piece of writing. I highlighted the answer I thought. There were five options; Narrative, Report, Poem, Play and Procedure. 

Also we had to highlight what we thought was the author's purpose to write this piece of writing. The options were; To inform, persuade and entertain. Some pieces of writing was very hard to figure out. On the right of the author's purpose, we had to fill in why this makes the piece of writing a... ( Poem, Narrative, Report, Play, or Procedure). 

Here is a photo of the grid I filled in. 

Have you written a story before? What was your purpose? Were you trying to Inform, Entertain, or Persuade people? 

That was what we were learning today in our el3 reading workshop, How to find out what type of text the author has used and what was the authors purpose and what the author needs to have used to make it that type of writing.

Every week I participate in my reading workshop. This week, in our workshop we had to film a flipgrid of our self reading the retell that we all wrote last week. I was a bit nervous that I would forget my sentence I was meant to read. But I got ready to do my first attempt. 

Our goal was to look at the camera while reading, just so it looked like we were reading it off by heart. It makes it look better. It also makes people interested at listening to the video because you are giving them eye contact. 

I decided to take my first attempt. To make it look like I was reading the retell of by heart, I would get a sentence in my head then say it.  After I said one sentence I would pause the flipgrid, so then I could have time to memorise the next sentence. It took a little while but I got through it. I took a couple of attempts to get the video that I was happy with.  

I liked doing my attempts. Once I had finished my final attempt and I was happy with it. I posted my video / flipgrid. Then I linked it to the task sheet, so there is evidence that I  did a flipgrid and so the teachers have easy access to the video when editing and checking people's work. 

That was one of the activities that we did this week for our writing workshop. Then we had to rap up a little bit of information about the retell. I liked my reading workshop this week.  I learnt heaps and found out lots of new information I the reading workshop this week.
