The Wonky Donkey

 Hey readers!

As you may know this week is book week! So most of our books were really popular books. The books were, Hairy Maclary, Where the wild things are, The Wonky Donkey, You are special, When Pigasso meets, The empty pot, A bad case of the stripes and Peter Rabbit! I did The Wonky Donkey because I really like the story. The Wonky Donkey was really fun to watch the video! The Wonky Donkey is about a Donkey signing while walking down the road this song/story is a really fun way to describe the Donkey while singing! And it's really fun to try and say all the words really fast! This week was really fun to do. This week our school also had a performance named Rumpelstiltskin! and on Thursday we had a dress up day! 

WALT: Make connections to ourselves, other texts and the world

I think this walt means to connect to someone/something to yourself other texts (movie and books) 

Create task 1: For this create task we had to write connections to ourselves other texts (books, movies) and then the world! I was reading the wonky donkey. You had to find connections to yourself like may the Donkey is spunky like you! Then other texts like the movie Shrek because there is a Donky in it! And the world like meat, and Donkey crisis because it is in the world!

Create task 2: For this create task we had to get the book you were reading (wonky donkey) and make a Venn diagram you also had to use one of the other books (I chose Peter Rabbit) and out it on the other side then you had to think of things they have in common. A Venn Diagram is when you get something and you describe it then you get another thing and you describe it then in the middle of the 2 circles you put similarities the 2 things share.  

Create task 3: We had to choose a connection (I did the Donkey crisis) and fill in the questions about your connection.

Who is involved?

• Africa, Brazil, Pakistan.

What happened?

• Donkeys today are subject to a shocking epidemic of illegal capture, inhumane treatment and mass slaughter in many African countries and elsewhere, like Brazil and Pakistan, in order to serve the exploding demands of the traditional Chinese medicine market.

Where did it happen?

• It started in 1992

Why did it happen?

•  Chinese medicine market.

When did it happen?

• 1992

Websites that I used…

1. Google

2. The ruru site

3. The video

Create task 3 part 2: For this create task we had to make a animation about the chosen text I did the donkey crisis!  The Donkey crisis is where people are killing Donkeys and turning them into medicine for people.

The thing I found hard was finding information about the donkey crisis as there was a lot of things to read. My favorite part was when I was filling out the information for create task 3 because I was reading for a while.
