Show Don't Tell

As he opened the door, a rotten smell shot his nose. The paint crawled down the door frame as the floorboard creaked when he walked to his bed.

This is a part of my story where I used a writing strategy called "Show, Don't Tell". Here is and example: TELL - I had good supper last night. SHOW - Last night I slurped down some good food which was a palatable combination of sauce, veggies, spices, and spaghetti. My show don't tell was about one of the characters entering a house. 

Narrative Plan - Outstanding Opening

In a house close to the city named Metropolis-∞, there lived a so called man, Zakh “Insane” Miller. Zakh has a reputation of doing illegal things like stealing and pickpocketing other people. He did those things to buy materials for a special project he is working on. As the sun set, he started hdashing home. As he opened the door, a rotten smell hit his nose. The paint crawled down the door frame as the floorboard creaked when he walked to his bed.

Party Plan

This is a maths problem solving activity I did with Jonathan, Nathan and Natasha. The goal was to buy and plan a party with a budget of $50.

Number Talks

This is my number talks I did with Jonathan, Ved and Nelvin. The problem was "0.8 + 0.7=?". First we had to do it solo in our corner then we have to explain our solution and see what connections we could make between our solutions..

Maths - Cogs

What - Today we had to continue our collaborative maths about cogs and the learning intention was to work together collaboratively. In our groups we all have our own roles and I will explain my role.

So What - For our cog activity we had to colour one tooth on the cog and then figure out which pairs (of cog) would go / fit together in each slot and what we would clarify or call the cog as was the amount of teeth each cog would have for example a cog with 3 tooth would be called or clarified as "3". A pair of cogs that would fit together is 4,5 and also 5,6. A way that our habitat found to know which ones would work together was if you put an even number and another even number together it would work and a even and odd together, it would also work but if you put odd and odd together it wouldn't work and the reason is that if you do even times another even number it would be even and odd and even would also be even but if you times two odd numbers together it wouldn't work because the sum is an odd number. At first I found it difficult but once the learning coach told us the way I just told you it was easier. Now I'll explain my role. My role is called "Questioner/Includer". The includer bit is my secondary job / role and if anyone is away i will be their substitute. Now for the questioner. (Not Finished)
