My Prediction

WALT: Write a prediction for what a story might be about based on the keywords

One day Lili was sick. Ana was delivering circulars on a buggy  when she stopped for a second and pushed the brake.   Later she took off down the street.   Ana’s manager was feeling very mad because something very bad just happened. She worried because she might lose her job her manager just said “hey your fired for being late almost everyday!!!”

“NOOOO I JUST LOST MY JOB!!!”

WALT:Evaluate our prediction after reading the story (Junk Mail by Prue Hilson, Pt 3, No.3 1995)

I give my prediction a 4/10. I predicted correctly that Lili was sick and that Ana was delivering circulars on a buggy. However I did not predict correctly that Ana got yelled at by lots of people and that she ruined the pamphlets.

My Speech

Children should be able to bring electronics to school.

“Mum, can I use my device for school tomorrow. The class doesn’t have enough and I can search for information. I also prefer to work in google docs because it’s easier” If you haven’t guessed by now electronics are important at school why you ask well that’s what I’m here to tell you today.

Laptops - why? Sometimes you would need to find information to things because if you were doing a speech or something like that then you would need to find information and 3 ideas for it.It also makes learning very fun because it has all these cool and fun games on studyladder, sumdog and many more.

iPads - why? iPads are also important because if we could bring our own ipads to school then it would be good too because it has all these different apps such as pic collage, explain everything, puppet pals, popplet and a lot more but none of our school chromebooks have apps like that.

Phones - why? We should also be able to bring Phones to school because so that we will not have to snatch the school chromebooks off each other because if that happens then we will get into trouble and we might even break it that would be even worse and you probably will get banned from the school chromebooks for the rest of the year! I mean like how bad would that be.

Conclusion - Overall i think that children should be able to bring electronics to school because our own electronics are useful and sometimes the school doesn’t have enough for all of us.
