Jonah's Pride

 WALT uses studies of the bible to gain an understanding that we all need  God's help, mercy, and love, and we are all called to forgive others.

 

The Bible records many stories about "forgiving". The Lord Jesus also taught us this: when we forgive men when they sin against us, our heavenly father will also forgive us. However, it's hard to forgive from our hearts. With God’s help, you can forgive. 

 

Your assignment is to research "forgiving", in the bible and share what you learned. You will need to use reference material such as biblegateway.com or search engines to locate stories of forgiveness in the Bible.

 

Begin by brainstorming possible topics and bible references

 

Create your own framework to record bible references you will read, key events within it, and your thoughts. In week 8 you will use this to write what you learned from the bible about forgiveness.

Fraction Action

 In class, I have been trying to sort fractions from biggest to smallest.

The Big Rip

 I have been learning to use show not tell to make my narrative interesting

To do this have tried to use describe what the characters think and feel. I have changed this with a partner.

 The Rip                                          

   

There were two brothers who were not at all alike;  they were different in every way. The younger brother stayed on the sand. And the older brother was always in the water. The older brother liked to swim with his bros, diving , tumbling, bombing,  snorkling and surfing in the waves. During the day the older brother liked to go on lots of adventures but the younger brother would stay safe on the sand. Sometimes the older brother would creep up to the younger brother and drag him into the water. “Oh come on you little chicken, it’s only waves,” teased the older brother. 

One morning their mother got angry with them you too are “ like cats and mice!”  “Out you go both of you,” said their mum. Go to the beach and play nicely for once. “Why did you come?” said Jack. “ I never even wanted to come,” James replied. Jack found some big waves and swam in .”Hey, I found some  waves, come in”        

Said Jack. “no, there might be sharks !” answered James .” you're such a baby,” replied Jack.

James started to get worried he felt sick in his stomach about  Jack. He had been waiting for him for about 30 min. He came to the last place that he saw him but he was not there. James started to walk down the beach and he saw Jack in a rip. He was covered with fear but he knew what to do, he needed to go and save his brother.

 

James got rid of his fear and got into the water to save his brother. “Help” Jack screamed as James was heading straight toward him. He got the lifeguard's attention and he started to come this way. When the lifeguard brought them back to the shore the older brother was begging for forgiveness. “I'm so sorry for teasing you, please forgive me,” Jack asked.” Ok I forgive you,” replied James

They walked back across the sand when they reached home, their mother was setting the table. “Hello,” she said, “you two seem very quiet,” she asked. Dinner will be ready soon so don’t go too far. Jack and James played together for a bit until it was dinner time. Jack smiled at his brother. James smiled back.     

Thirst New Ending

In class, we read Thirst, and our task was to make up our own ending to the story.

I think I have done the following show not tell well.

Something I still need to work on is the 2A sentence and BOYS sentence.  

Dad shouted once more. His voice rumbled through the trees, scattering the birds that had been perched at the cans quenching their thirst. Ryder heard him. “What shall I do?” He wondered. Thoughts flooded Ryder’s head about what was going to happen when they find me. I can’t stay here any longer I think I need a new hiding spot. Ryder knew he would get a big growling or not, he didn’t know what to do. We might have to move somewhere else if they find out where I am. Where is dad?                          

Ryder’s eyes opened wider than a shark’s mouth, he was shaking in fear dad turned his head this way and slowly walked over but didn’t see me. Tears threatened to burst from his eyes, not knowing what to do. A few hours later it was starting to get late. It was cold, scary, and dark. I crept up to the door, Brooke heard me “don't freak out it’s just me let me in please”.The more Ryder thought about what was going to happen, the more scared he got. That morning before Ryder could open his eyes, his dad was standing right there “where did you get the water from” asked dad.              

RRRIIIGG there was someone at the door I did it and said Ryder just don't fire, my mum or dad, please I will do anything to make it up to you.
