Literacy Challenge No Comments »

Hi year 6 - consider this a cheat sheet for your next Grammar check. Copy and paste this and put it on your own blogs so that you have something to check before your next test.

Common NOUN - the name given to a person, place or thing eg pimple, towel, pumpkin

ADJECTIVE - a word which describes a noun eg. blind, prickly, enormous

PROPER NOUN - the name of a particular person, place or thing. Proper nouns have capital letters. eg Kevin Rudd, Canberra, Prime Minister

VERB - an action or a doing word. If you can do it, then it’s a verb eg crawl, tickle, swim

ADVERB - Adds to the verb. Usually ends in ly and usually answers the question “how” something was done. eg. erratically, mercilessly, quickly

PERSONAL PRONOUN - a word which indicates personal onwership eg she, he, they, we, them, their, we,

CONJUNCTION - A word that joins 2 ideas together in a sentence. eg. and, then, so, but.  One conjunction, one fullstop. A sentence must only contain one conjunction.

PREPOSITION - A word  which indicates the “position” of something, compared to something else eg. the frog in the pond, the turtle under the rocks

Virtual Bibliography

Blogging tips No Comments »

Whenever you publish work on the net, you MUST include a virtual bibliography. This bibliography acknowledges your sources from the internet or books, so that the authors are credited with their work. You must NEVER copy and paste the work of other people, without acknowledging their authorship. This is called copyright and it is illegal.

So, create a table in word, which includes 3 columns for the URL (website address), content - a brief explanation of what was on the site, and give the information a rating out of 10 for usefulness. The above table is an example of a virtual bibliography and I expect to see one with every project you present this year.
