International Current Events

L.I To create a google maps that explains current events around the world

This week for reading we were finding international current events, and plotting them on the map. We ended up with 9 current events. We found all of our current events from a site called Kiwi Kids News. They have events National, World, Sport, and Odd stuff. The aim of this activity was to find out what has or is happening around the world. The creators of this map is Karlos, Matthew, and I. We all worked together to find these. They all had their most interesting thing they found, but the most interesting information I found out, is that a chameleon called the voeltzkow's chameleon. It was last spotted 100 years ago at madagascar, and has been spotted again by people in an expedition. Scientists were so shocked, and only know that they only live in the rainy season. I love doing current events, because I like learning new information.

Current Events 1 (Home Learning)

This is a current events 1 activity for home learning. There are 11 main types of current event titles. I have chosen 2 current events from around the world (Japan, and Venice). The 2 types of current events titles I used were odity and Relevance. The oddity was about a school graduating in minecraft. The other was sightings of dolphins, swans and fish in the clearn canal waters. These were both very interesting because I have not heard about anything the same as there subjects.

National Current Events

Today we created a map DLO that shows current events around New Zealand. We have 6 national current events in New Zealand. The article we found most interesting, Ardie Savea being banned on tik tok. He was banned  from his doctor for dancing when he was supposed to be in bed resting because of his knee. The most shocking article was Southland flooding. Lukah, Acien, Vayan, Afatia, Liletina, Azatulah and I worked as a team to complete this activity.

Provocation

A provocation is an action or a speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Recently a mojor supermarket chain announced it will no longer sell energy drinks to kids under the age of 16 years old. My opinion is recorded in my DLO that shows both perspecgives. What is you opinion ans why?

New Zealand News Articles

Each day, newspaper editors make desisions everyday about which current event stories they will run.  We explored that different types of current events that are happening in NZ, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map. We were creating a Map DLO that shows differet types of Articles that happend in New Zealand. The types of articles we were to find were Timeliness, Relevance, Magnitude, Unexpectedness, Impact, Reference to someone iportant or famous, Oddity, Conflict, Reference to something negative, Continuity, Emotions and Progress. The most shocking one I found was the measles outbreak with more that 1,000 people affected. My Group (Matthew, Karlos and I) found 7 news articles that took place in New Zealand. The most unusual one I found was that Russia Accidently replaced New Zealand With Japan on their news channel. Our Task was to find current events that were happening or that happened in New Zealand so that we could grow our knowledge about what has been happening or what has happened in New Zealand.

Current Events

This week I did a current events activity. I wrote about the book called: Zombie Apocolypse. It's about some people who crash and find themselves stuck and decided to survive there until help comes. It come to a happy ending, but there are some sad bits in the story that are sad.
