L.I. I am learning to make connections to the story, and share my experiences and thinking with others.

S.C. I can contribute 7 thoughtful responses to the Google Classroom Adolescence Survey.

Task 2: Survey on Adolescence

In Jonas’s community, twelve is a pivotal age. In our society, adolescence (beginning roughly at the age of twelve) is also an important time. Today’s activities require us to think about adolescence. What are some of the characteristics of adolescence? What are some common adolescent concerns? What are the personal hopes and dreams of young people for the future?

There are many positive aspects of adolescence, but some examples of dilemmas and issues of adolescence might be related to school, parents, siblings, dating, peer pressure, body image, pop culture and social media.

So that we can share our thinking with others, we are going to be conducting a Grade 6 student survey. Our answers are anonymous (unnamed), but the answers collected will be made available to others, so that you can see what your classmates are also thinking/feeling. For this to work and be worthwhile, we are relying on you to all be good digital citizens, respectful, mature, and put some thought and effort into what you type.

Step 1 - You need to go to the Grade 6 Google Classroom, and open up the ‘Survey on Adolescence’ assignment.

Step 2 - Click through the survey and type in answers to the following questions:

1. What is your biggest worry now?

2. What would you like to do in the future?

4. What will help you get there (achieve your goals)? What obstacles might stand in your way?

5. What are you looking forward to about being a teenager?

6. What are some concerns you have about becoming a teenager?

7. Write your own question. What do you want to know more about (e.g. Do boys and girls have the same concerns?). Type in a question you would like to ask your Year 6 friends about. It might be about their concerns or their hopes and dreams for the future.

LI: We are learning to create information reports in unusual ways by creating a wanted poster

SC: I will can be successful if I can include all important elements into the wanted poster (and have fun on this Friday)

Someone has been caught committing a horrible crime and they are on the run! The authorities are searching far and wide, but they are nowhere to be seen.

Your task is to create a wanted poster for this person who has committed the unthinkable crime. The criminal could either be a fictional character, one of your friends, or even yourself!

The front of the poster must include:

A photo or drawn picture of the person on the front

Their name, age, height, hair colour, last known location

Cash reward amount $$$

The back of the poster must include at least one to two paragraphs describing:

Description of the person (just like before)

Time of the crime

Location

Eye witness reports (this is a perfect time to use dialogue which you can make up yourself)

Particular notes or characteristics of the criminal (if they are dangerous, caution when approaching etc.)

Crime ideas:

Stealing Mr. Semianiw’s heater so he freezes in the mornings!

Adding blue food colouring to Ms. Barson’s tea so her teeth turn blue!

Covering Mr. Petering’s whiteboard markers with super glue so they are stuck to him all day!

Any other appropriate choice of your own.

Here are some examples of effective wanted posters:

Spelling Test

Test for every word on the list, then correct. You could ask a family member to test you, or use the ‘look, cover, write, check’ method to test yourself.

Well done on completing another week!
