We make summary based on article that we took form news paper.
We found that from summary, it's easy for reader to define the main idea of the article/topics.

From this activity. It's make us more brave to create summary on future time. Thanks a lot to groups members and not forgotten Miss Cheah for the clear explanation and effort.

How To use Your Dictionary ????

Copy from google

                                          The secret way to use DICTIONARY  SKILLS



        The Dictionary is often regarded as the most important book that we have in the classroom. Just imagine living in a country that doesn't have a dictionary (and there are still many of these)! Just how well do students know the dictionary? Can we use it adequately? Is it just for spelling or does it contain a wealth of other information?
FIRST STEPS

Find out what we know about the purpose of a dictionary, eg

•It is for finding the meaning or words


•It can be used for checking spelling


•It tells us how to say (pronounce) words correctly.

Ask ourself how a dictionary is organised, eg alphabetical order. Why we think this is a good way to arrange a dictionary?

What problems can we see if it just contained words in any order?

         Find out if we are confident with the alphabetical sequence (often this can be taken for granted).
On a daily basis, play regular simple alphabetical team or group games such as …

•what letter comes after the letter L

•what letter comes two before the letter N etc.

PLACEMENT OF LETTERS

Have we discover that when we open the dictionary in the middle we will find words which start with l and m. What do the words start with if we open it in the first quarter? (d and e)

What do the words start with if we open it in the third quarter? (r and s.

Develop the idea that if we remember this it is a lot quicker to find words rather than scrolling from the first pages until you find the correct letter.

SIMPLE ALPHABETISING

Start off by  place lists in alphabetical order in which no two words begin with the same letter, eg

bill meaning carport


soil unmask mask


bevel lump world
Next  place words of the same initial letter into alphabetical order. Talk about how it is necessary to go to the second letter as the first letters are all the same, eg ?

early egg extra


enemy enclose extra


equator ear eat

        What would we have to do with words that have both first and second letters the same? (We have to go to the third letter),

Try the following:

gloss glib glaze


glass glance glacier


gloom glad glitch

          

Done!! Let's Try this.

We  are still learned about prefix and suffix but today we had special way to more understand about that.
Miss Cheah was introduced to us game named JOEPARDY .Interesting rite???

     Before we started ,Miss Cheah explained a lot about that game...here i will tell you how we are  play  Joepardy games.Miss Cheah are said to range from 100 to  500 is a total of 30 questions out of questions . The first question was randomly selected by the first respondent , the second question to choose the correct principle, problem solver . Higher scores than the problem , which is a difficult problem.


The problem is all in the form of Suffix and Preffix .  We need  to gave the right answer which is make one question with correct grammar. Wrong answers and time out ( answered within 10 seconds ), the amount drawn on the issue.

My group fight with other's  group to gained higher scores. Unfourtenaly we just got 3rd place. But the important things we learned from this games.We had many ways to understand about suffix and preffix not only read the books.We can learn from many way if we have creative thinking ..agree guys???
