In reading I have been learning how to use researching skills using books,school journals and the internet to find information about WW1,WW2,Vietnam war, and the Korean war.
When I went to the library with my group we read a lot about the Maori battalion and WW1. I used skimming and scanning to help me find information and solve the questions quickly.
I found out that we got involved in WW1 because the British Empire needed help so then N.Z helped them and thousands of soldiers died at Gallipoli Peninsula.
As I am reading a book about the war.I ask my self questions like where did the war take place? Or what are they fighting over? When I am reading I use connections to what I have already learnt about the war to help me get more ideas and understand more about the war.
When I am reading I visualise what the author wrote and think about how they are trying to hook me in. I try to explain what the author means and what the author is trying to say.Sometimes we need to read between the lines because sometimes the author doesn't tell us all the information. We need to look for clues in the text to help us.
To help with my research I use appropriate websites so I can get more information. I write down the key information and make notes so I can remember it when I summarise the information in my own words.
I learned heaps about all the wars NZ was involved in and about the people who went to war and how it affected them.
My Next Steps:
To find appropriate websites to help me with my research on my own and be able to compare the information on the websites to know if it is useful and true.
