Term 2 novel study

Term 2 Novel Study

This term I have been reading and studying the novel Abandon ship

I found this novel interesting  because the people in the book were trying to survive the sinking of the Wahine.

During the novel I had to complete a thinking map which shows that I can classify how the author has shown the theme of the book.

The National Standard that I have been aiming for during this unit of learning is

• Year 7/8: I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.

Each week we have read a short text about a current event/ topic. We then formed questions based on what we had read.  After this we researched the answers to our questions and finally we gave our opinions on what we had found out.

 Careers Education C.V. Writing

In CAREERS EDUCATION we have been learning to write a skills based Curriculum Vitae.

A skills based C.V. focuses more on the skills that we have,  rather than our work history.

Here is a link to our online Modelling Book that shows the process we have followed.

Three things that I have learned about writing a Curriculum Vitae are:

1. You have to keep your CV simple and tidy.

2. It is hard to apply for a job

3. It is not easy to make a CV
