Today I have completed my fifth task for one of the Book Week activities. For this activity I was to count how many words in average there could be in 3 pages of a book. So what I had to was gather all three total numbers from the 3 pages and divide it by 3. I decided to do this activity on The Dragon of Fortune|Geronimo Stilton because it had less words then any other novel books. On page 1 there was 66 words, on page 2 there was 99 words, and on page 3 there was 62 words. The onomatopoeia (e.g zzzzzzzz) counted as well. Out of all activities this was the best so far.
I am a Year 8 student at Panmure Bridge School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Learning Space 2 and my teachers are Ms Kirkpatrick and Mrs Anderson.

Book Week Activity 4|Alphabet Key|Titles of Books
Today for one of the Book Week Activities I was to create a Google Document with a Alphabet Key. I was to write titles of books that started with each letter of the alphabet. For example if the letter was 'I' I was to think of a book title that started with I (As you can see I have written I Spy). In my perspectives I think this task was a bit difficult than the other activities because I couldn't think of any book titles that started with x, y, and z.

Book Week Activity 3|Signals needed in a library
For Book Week I have done one of the activities which was to create a DLO showing what signs should be in a library. As you can see I have added the simple one which are no shoes inside the library, not eating or drinking, no running, and no shouting. I think the top two most important ones are no shouting and no running. Why? Because the library is a quiet place and to be quiet you are not to make any loud sounds such as shouting or running.

Book Week Matrix|Author Interview
As one of the MI Matrix activities for Book Week I was to write down a couple of questions that I would say if I was to interview an author. It was pretty hard to figure what kinds of questions to say to an author. My favorite questions I would ask to an author is: Who is your favorite Author besides yourself? My best author is David Walliams because how he writes the first part of the story hooks me in.
Book Week Matrix|2 Different Types Of Book|Venn Diagram
As part of Book Week (which was last week) we were to pick one of the MI Matrix Book Week challenges. There were different types of amazing challenge such as draw a setting from a book you have read or create a 'rap' to create reading. Miki and I have decided to do the activity where we make a Venn diagram showing two different book we like. Miki choose Bad Guys and Billionaire Boy. The things that were similar between my book and Miki's book was that the Authors were both Male, they were both written in English, and it's both Fictional books. In my book I have two main character which are Joe and his dad. Miki's book has two main character which are Mr Wolf, Mr Shark, Mr Piranha, and Mr Snake.

Book Week Activity 2|Meerkats|Emily Gravett
Since it is Book week this week one of our task was to create a DLO based on Meerkats. We read a book called Meerkat Mail by Emily Gravett. It was interesting because we learnt a lot of fun things about Meerkats but in a fun way. Did you know that Meerkat like eating lizards, spiders, larvae of moths, and even mices. If you don't know who Emily Gravett is she is a English author and also illustrated children book.

Book Week Activity 3|Emily Gravett|Wolves
Today as part of Book Week Mrs Anderson has set another Book Week task for us. First we read one of Emily Gravett's books called Wolves. Everyone enjoyed the book and had a laugh. After reading the book we were to make a DLO based on wolves. We were to make a table: One side which had what we think about wolves and the other side saying what is true about wolves. For example if the myth was Wolves and dogs are related we were to search up if it was true or not and tell why. I really had a fun time doing this. I worked collaboratively with Sanujan.

Book Week Activity 1|Favorite Author Bar Graph - Statistic
This week is Book Week. For book week we were splitted into groups. After that we were to answer questions based on books such as: What is your favorite author?, Do illustrations matter? Why?, Do you read the blurb of the book? etc. After answering each questions we were to make a bar or pie graph on one of the questions. I picked the questions: who is your favorite author? We used the information that people wrote on the paper to help us make our bar graph. I wrote all the authors that the student in my class wrote down. After making the bark graph I made a DLO stating what the bar graph shows. On my DLO is explains what most likable author in our class is and the less likable author. I have also included a photo of my favorite Author: David Walliams.
