Lieracy test

1. My strongest strategies are highlighting important informationg(I'm really good at that it really helps) When im confused by a sentence i just try to put it into my own words and face it theres alot of words that you wont know.I personally like to skim for information then i would read it closley.My weak strategies are asking myself questions about the reading not to mention that i have trouble relationg it to my own personal experiences.

My strongest strategies for newsreports are look closely at the headline and picture. Thinkof an event that relates to them. Make up the information and facts as you answer some or all of the following questions:Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? For series of paragraphs I'm good at stating my opinion at the beggining and I always have three or more paragraphs with a intruduction middle and my conclusion. For short writing task i'm good at rereading the questions over and over then i awsner them and always use deatail. I love multiple choice so it only makes sence that im good at it here are some of my strategies: First i look at the four awnsers and i'll cross out any that are inncorrect whitch i suggest everyone should do, If later on you find thats its inncorrect just go back and correct it.Oh and never,never,never,never,never EVER leave blanks just gess you might get it right!Some of my weaknesses are connecting the story to my personal experiences also once and a while i forget to space my paragraphs but i only do that rarley.Sometimes when i'm trying to the main idea i can get stumped pretty easily.

 

 

   I really like how the litericy test is not a part of our course marks because i would be really worried. Personally i really hate the thought of redoing the test the folloing year i rather u just redo it whenever as long as its before graduation. I think its very helpful that now i know that universities and colleges will see that i completed it.
I really would like to know what exactly would be on the literacy test would it be on everything we learned in grade nine? In your opinion do you think i would do good on the literacy test.

East Summary

China is almost like North America.China has North American teenage drama.Girls can be entirely different around boys. Suprising talents lie under somewhat decepitive exteriors. Never ofer low offers to an irate merchants high products. Everyone loves a person who never gets upset whitch there are only a very few members of the human population who hold this genetic makeup.

Third Man Theory

Many people, both religious and atheist, report being helped to survive near death experiences by an unknown presence.Spiritual or religious people say that a divine being saved them from a near death experience while atheist see it as  a brain function.Some psychologists believe the phenomenon is a product of bicameralism. Another theory suggests the third man is a coping mechanism. Whether the third man is an angel or a survival mechanism is for people to decide for them selves. The third man helped James Sevigny after a avalanche swept him 600 m down the canadian rockies. The third man helped again when Ron DiFrancesco was trapped in a fire.

Using Appositives

Hi Sam,



Yesterday we learned a new way to combine short simple sentences in order to make longer more effective ones.



The method we used was something called "Apposition" which is a fancy way of saying 'beside.' So instead of writing: "Our teacher is Mr. Pierce. He has taught the class a new lesson on appositives" we write "Our teacher, Mr.Pierce, has taught the class a new lesson on appositives."

'Mr. Pierce' is beside (or apposite) 'Our teacher' which means they are the same thing. This can be really handy when you are reading if you realize that a phrase you don't know is apposite a word or phrase you do know.

The following examples use apposition:



1. My friend, Autumn, went to Tim Horton's with me to get some coffee.

2. Today, December 6th, we had snow.

3. My friend, Katrina McIntosh, has known me since I was 3.

5. On Sunday, December 5th, 2010, my brother, Ben, came and visited me.

Another example I used was: Stamford has won Schools In Bloom, a horticulture competition, seven years in a row.

Once you feel comfortable that you know what I'm looking for, please try writing 5 to 10 appositives of your own.

Writing complex sentences

A complex sentence is a made up of an independent clause and a dependent clause. An independent clause is a group of words that could be a sentence. e.g "I am happy". a dependent clause is a group of words that cannot be a sentence by itself. e.g "when I ski" A dependent clause can help form sentence when it works with a independent clause. e.g "I am happy when i ski." other joining words-that,who,when,but,after, for, since, through,while. Not a complete sentence: "I was hungry, than i ate dinner."

"I watched the vikings game in the afternoon"

 "I watch anime after school."

 " I read while eating my dinner."

  "I love to eat chocolate once a week"

  "My brother loves to bug me at every moment he gets."

  " I eat a lot of sweets when my parents are not around."

   " I got the highest score on my test on Ecology"

     Not complete sentences

      "for awile."

     "for hours."

    "on my bed"

   " this afternoon"
