In this activity , I had to find out what adverbial clauses and connectives were. Then I had to give them an example of it.

WALT: Combine simple proportions to work out what parts the whole is made up in a unit We learnt how to calculate percentage increase and decrease. If you want to calculate percentage increase, you have to find the percentage difference between the two numbers you are comparing and divide the difference by the original number and then times it by 100 and convert that decimal into a percentage. For example: What is the percent of decrease of 16 to 14? The way you would solve this is find the difference between the original number and the new one. 16 - 14 = 2. Divide 2 by 16 which equals 0.125. Multiply that by 100 and it equals 12.5%, So its a 12.5% decrease. WALT: Combine proportions to work out what parts are whole is made up of using non multiples of 10. We learnt how to calculate how much the percentage increased or decreased in number. The way I did this was I found the percentage and if it was an increase: added it onto the 100, and if it was a decrease: subtra...

Exposition Plan Year ⅞ -  I can use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes. For my “Evaluating Leaders” research I have been researching about Mother Teresa and Sir Edmund Hillary. During this unit I have had to use a range of strategies to find the information I needed on Google. This includes: Cross-checking Using Advanced Search I have achieved this goal because I cross-checked my new info that I found, making sure its true. My next step is to set a new reading goal.
