There was no food, no strength, a cold night, I felt hollow and transparent, all I heard was silence, i died inside.

Many ignore what they cannot see.

Researching a #hashtag.

This weeks activity is to research a picture book using the TUMBLR hashtag.

One picture book I was hoping to find using the hashtag was “Tales of Peter Rabbit and his Friends”. Especially since it was discussed in my week one reflection.

Luckily it did pop up when using this hashtag. When typing in the #picturebook in the search bar I came across a blogger who collects everything relating to Beatrix Potter and all her stories. If you would like to follow them their name is @peterrabbit2007. By looking through what they have posted, you can see why so many people born in the that era to now loved the stories because of the illustrations and the way the books where written for each character. 

I would happily recommend this book and/or the tv series to anyone young and old.

Classroom Displays-

Having a classroom displays is a great way fro students to learn about different learning topics.

This week’s prompt was to design a prediction activity that goes with a cover of a particular book. The book chosen is “Are you seeing me?” by Darren Groth. A prediction is an activity that learners carry out before they start reading and or listening to the text and predict what will happen in the story just by looking at the cover of the book. Then they will confirm or deny their predictions. 

For this weeks reflection I would like you to make a list of all the different ways you have made meaning from text, in the last week.

Reading is a big part of my everyday life and I must say I read just about everything. Some of the ways I can remember making meaning from text in the past week include:

- Books: novels, textbooks

- newspaper

- Internet websites

- Ingredient labels, receipts

- Recipes

- Signs

- Electronic communication: Texts, Facebook messages, emails
