Persuasive Texts (Arguments For and Against)

We are looking at persuasive texts or written arguments this term. This morning we looked at the following article and thought about who the intended audience might be. What is the author's perspective? How did they communicate this? Then we all thought about our own perspective and point of view and shared what we thought...

Take a look...

What's your point of view?

Evil Sock Agent (by Catherine Baars)

Evil Sock Agent was voted our class's best narrative of the week. The students were required to write an interesting and entertaining narrative using a list of words written on the whiteboard. Some of the words included nappy, agent, socks, pungent etc. Catherine used her imagination and a variety of interesting sentence beginnings and came up with the following...

Happy TWENTYten/Greetings!

Happy New Year to everyone in the Blogosphere!

Welcome to our class's blog entitled "iLearn". Already you may be wondering who on earth we are... perhaps even where on earth we are! So let us tell you briefly...

iLearn consists of a class of approximately 17 keen students from the north-eastern suburb of Watsonia in Melbourne, Australia.

We are a grade three and four class who are keen to not only share our learning with our school community and wider world but offer our thoughts on the things we are experiencing in our society.

We are wanting to communicate with other schools across the planet as well to see what other kids are learning and thinking about... like in the words of Patrick Star - " You mean what we thought they thought, we think and thought they thought. We think?"

More soon...
