You will then need to break into groups of three with others who have the same card type as you do. Discuss (according to your card type) either:
A time when you have observed (seen) someone being really generous. Tell about this time. What happened and what was the result?
A time when you have been a participant (the one doing the generous act). What happened and what was the result?
A time when you received an act of generosity from someone else. What happened and how did you feel?
Please note: For the act to be truly generous, it must have been an action of initiative, rather than having been asked to do it.
Review the bucket story.
Another way people talk about buckets is to have a bucket list - a list of things they really want to do during their lifetime. Watch this video of some people completing their bucket list.
Now it is your turn. Create a bucket list of blessings that you want to pour into the lives of others as they live their lives.
Please note: You may want to use the Graffiti Carousel List to help generate this. In how any ways will you be generous?
Your teacher will assign you to work in Reading Groups during this lesson.
Extra Games and Activities
In Lesson 4, Unit 30 choose and play extra games and activities on your iPads.
The 1st slide tells about Van Gogh and his painting techniques. Briefly look through this.
The 2nd video shows some of Van Gogh's famous paintings. Pause the video and quickly scroll through.
Similes are one way writers help to put pictures into readers' minds. Similes compare two things that share the same quality. Similes use the words 'like' and 'as' to compare them. Remember some similes in "The Art of Miss Chew"?
A metaphor doesn’t just say something is ‘like’ something, it is that something (as a comparison)!
“His hair was as dark a night”
“The stars were like pin pricks in the sky”.
“Slowly dusk pours the syrup of darkness into the forest”. This is more than a simile, it is a metaphor.
A metaphor doesn’t just say something is ‘like’ something, it is that something (as a comparison)!
Watch this video to see what is the same or different about similes and metaphors:
Instead of drawing, writers use words to describe what they want to show their readers. Writers use different writing techniques to make their words show pictures in your mind.
Similes are one way writers help to put pictures into readers' minds. Similes compare two things that share the same quality. Similes use the words 'like' and 'as' to compare them.
Here are some examples of similes: “His hair was as dark a night”, and “The stars were like pin pricks in the sky”.
Complete the Simile "Easy as Pie" sheet on Seesaw
At the end of the sheet, you are asked to write your own simile. Write one about Van Gogh's famous painting "Starry Night"
Work through this thinking challenge.
Spend 5 minutes practising the time table you are learning for this week.
Finish off your angles presentation and catch up on any activities not completed earlier in the week.
Create a maze using different paths where each path has two acute angles, one right angle and two obtuse angles. You can make your maze by drawing lines on paper with a ruler and different coloured textas or colours, or you can draw your lines using different coloured chalk on the concrete outdoors, or you can use duct tape to make your maze.
Then take a picture of your maze, use arrows to point to your angles, and upload to Seesaw.
