Eating fast food can harm a person's health. This is because most fast food is high in sugar, salt, saturated fat and trans fats, processed ingredients, and calories.

Teamwork

 Teamwork is a term to describe a group of people working together to achieve a goal.

Teamwork consists of three main mechanisms. Communication is a team talking together to make a plan. An example of this is when the dodgeball players talk as a team to make a plan to win the game.

Cooperation is working together to achieve a goal. An example of this is there are two teams playing dodgeball and they need to work as a team to win the game.

Collaboration is working together to be successful or finsh something. An example of this is when dodgball players are working to finsh the game.

( This video shows the mechanism of communication )

( This video shows the mechanism of collabration )

( This video shows the mechanism of cooperation )

To be successful as a team all three mechanisms need to implemented throughout the activity.

Making Connections

Making connections is connections that have similar to each other. 

There are three connections and they are text to self, text to text, and text to world.

Text to self is a text that links to yourself, For example: the duck returned the food to the village the connection i did was my cousin shared her food with me and I give it back to her and they both because they are both about sharing.

Text to text  is connections are when peole compare the text to the text they are reading to other similar texts. For example: The duck lead the rat to the cave, The three little pigs tricked the wolf when the wolf got in the house by going down the chimney The pigs had put hot water under the chimney.

Text to world is comparing something in a book to the real world for something that has already happend. For example: The duck gives water to the horse, people around the world help homeless people in need.

Connections give the reader a deeper understanding of what the book is about.

Multiplication

  Multipication is a faster way of adding the same number many times. The three ,four , six and  times are examples of multipication. 

The four tables are multiplying four by a number of groups.

 The six times tables are multiplying six by a number of groups. 

The three times tables are multiplying three by a number of groups.

The times tables are an easy way to remember basic multipication equations. The next time tables to learn  are the seven, eight, and nine times tables.

Mark duffy is now a role model and gives advice to kids about reading and tells about his life. 

Private vs Public

Information could be safe and not told but could also be shared and posted.

Private information should be safe and not be told in public so it will not be shared like a address, secrets, account details, and  social information.

Public information can be told to everyone and also be posted and could be shared it could be photos of pets, funny photos, nice comments, photo of the scenery on walk, and holiday photos.

Infromation could be safe and not told or it could be share or posted.

If information is not kept safe it could be bordcast, shared, coppied, or hacked.

Character Trait

 A character trait is writing information using adjectives and fact about what happend in the story.

The duck was clever by tricking the highway rat because he was being disrespectful and he got traped. 

The duck was a good character because she shared the leftover food to the vilage. 

The duck was being generous by giving the horse water because the duck knows the horse is tired.

Character trait helps people understand the characters personality

Multiplication

 Multipication is a faster way of adding the same number many times. The two, five, and ten times are examples of multipication. 

The two times tables are multiplying two by a number of groups. The five times tables are multiplying five by a number of groups. The ten times tables are multiplying ten by a number of groups.

The times tables are an easy way to remember basic multipication equations. The next time tables to learn  are the three, four, and six times tables.
