The Biggest Eagle In The World

What-to make a conclusion or an assumption.
So What-I learnt how to use a T Chart . I firstly wrote down a inference, then I'd write because..... (from the evidence from the text).
Now What-I think I should write down more ideas and only have to read the book once.

Here are a couple of my thoughts.......

-I think that the Haast's Eagle was the biggest eagle in the world because .... It weighed 13 kilograms , a wingspan of 2 metres and powerfully muscled legs and feet.

-I think the Moa was the biggest flightless bird in the world because ......... It weighed almost 200 kilograms.And the Maoris wanted it for its large amount of meat,bones and feathers.

A picture of a Deer

WALT-Sketch an animal.
So What-I learnt how to draw a Deer properly and we had to show where the light was coming from in our shading , the shading was done on the opposite side of where the light was coming from.
Now What-Not having to use the small guide lines to help me draw the shape and not having help from a tutor.

Gallipoli

W.A.L.T:Show our understanding of why Gallipoli is important.
So What:I learnt why Gallipoli is important , where it is and what it is.
Now What:Not having to research before writing down my findings.

What is Gallipoli and why is it important?

Gallipoli is a peninsula in the north western side of Turkey near Istanbul.
It was the place where many of New Zealand's and Australia's men , teenagers were brave, killed or injured.In all 2,721 NZ soliders were killed on that beachfront,more than 25% of those who landed at Gallipoli.

(What is special about it and what was unfair)
-New Zealand and Australia working together.
-They evacuated after 8 months
-It was where many brave soliders died.
-Maori battalion took part in the first attack by maori soliders outside NZ.
-It was harder for the ANZACs to fight the Turks due to not being in their own country.
