Today for reading we had to summarise about either a plane , helicopter ,  bird or hot balloon we choose for Inquiry. There were three choices to choose so one was the summary (which I am doing) , one was when inference , and the other one was the Main Idea Summary Frame. As you can see I did the Summary One. I did the Wright Flyer's plane to summarise. It is a plane built and designed by the Wright Brother Wilbur and Orville. We had to use the 5 w's to help us summarise. We had to summarise in 25 words. I had really fun doing this. I learnt a lot about the Wright Flyer's plane. I was a bit struggling on summarising but I stall managed to do it. I think for next time I should do this on another plane maybe the Airbus A380 or the Boeing AH-64.
