Kereru DLO

For this week in the Kereru group we had free reign. We could chose to not use the task board or just finish off our book, 'Pig Heart Boy'. I chose to do the task board, we had to find out facts on Malorie Blackman, the author of 'Pig Heart Boy'.   My first thought of the author was that  she was white not black just becuase it was based in England.  I know thats bad to think but that was my immediate response to the first chapter of  the book.

For this week in the Kereru group we were reading chapter 6 and 7 on Pig Heart Boy. We had to create what we think either what the outside entrance or the inside entrance using google draw. I choose to do what I think the inside entrance of the hospital. I did a very nice and kind looking man as the first face you see when you walk in, and to the left is where they keep all the pigs and torchering devices. To the right is a top secret facility with a pass code protected with all the mixies and potions for xenotransplantation. I had a great time making this because it is so bright and colourful and to me it looked like a illistration from a childrens book.

For this week we also had a sheet of questions we had to anwser about chapters  6 and 7. All the questions really related to the chapters that we were reading and I was happy that we had two activitys to don this week instead of one.

For this week we read chapter four of "Pig Heart Boy". Our teacher is letting us take any angle from the book to do our DLO on. I chose to do my DLO on xenotransplantation, xenotransplantation is really interesting! I chose to do these slides because I think these are the key points about xenotransplantation. Most people automatically think that if you need to get a xenotransplant that you would get a monkeys or chimpanzees but.......... They are actually the worst animal to get a organ from. Because we are so similar to monkeys or chimpanzees it would be really bad for our body.

For this week my reading group we have started to read Pig Heart Boy. Its a really good book so far! For this activity we have to write adjectives that describe the two main characters in Pig Heart Boy. The Boy Cam is the main boy in the story he is the person this book is based on and Marlon is his best friend who is always worried about Cam. 

The reason I chose all these words to describe Cam, is he is brave to have been going through this experience of having a bad heart, and is a rule breaker because he does stuff that everyone wants him not to do. Marlon, is a very friendly boy and is as protective over Cam as his parents are.  He is a total dare devil, as well he loves to dive in the pool with his friends and is super competitive.
