TEEL Challenge

Task 2

Energy drinks like Red Bull are dangerous.

Energy drinks are extremely dangerous! They can give people heart rate problems. More than 10 000 people have died from energy drinks like Red Bull. Do you want your life at risk? By Shahnti

Red Bull is a drink that hypes you up. What would you do if you drank three cans of Red Bull at night and couldn’t sleep? It makes your heart rate beat go faster. It may taste good but it is bad for you.  By Ty

Energy drinks are extremely dangerous so stay away. They make your heart beat very fast and after too many you could pass away. More than one million people are drinking them today. You could die, so we will warn you once DON’T DRINK THEM! By Hayley

Red Bulls are dangerous as they speed up your heat. If this happens you could die. If you keep drinking Red Bull say goodbye to your life. Even though it tastes good it is a curse. By Sabastian

Red Bulls are dangerous because they can kill you. They can speed your heart and you may die. Before long you will hear your heart going BOOM BOOM BOOM. Do you really want to risk your life? By Aubin

Do you realise that Red Bull makes your heart beat faster? Scientists have proven that Red Bull is just one of the drinks that increases your heart rate. Almost all Australians have been addicted to this drink. Can you imagine your heart rate suddenly going 10 times faster. By Geraldine

TEEL Paragraphs

TEEL is an acronym that we are using in our classroom to explicitly teach paragraph writing.

T – Topic sentence

E – Expand

E – Example

L – Linking sentence

The students were asked today to create a paragraph using TEEL that would persuade the reader to believe that animals should not be kept in zoos. Here are a few wonderful examples.

Zoos should not have poor defenceless animals in them. Thousands of animals have died in zoos, that’s more than they have in the wild. The zoo’s cages are small, stinky and the animals want to be free. The zoo must let the animals go. By Isabelle

We should not keep animals in cages because it is cruel. It will be really cramped. What if you were kept in a cage at a zoo? It would smell. How would you like to be stuck in a cage for your whole life?  By Rocco

Animals should be kept in cages, no way. It is dark and cruel. The poor creatures being stuffed in a steel cold cage for pretty much your whole life. These cute animals like pandas squished in to a dirty prison cell. Could you live like these innocent lifeforms.   By Jessica

Animals should not be in cages because they are so adorable. They have a life. They don’t want to be stuck in a cage their whole life. They want to be free.      By Sabastian

It is absolutely cruel to keep animals in a small cage and away from their environment. Animals should be able to live in the wild instead of a small smelly cage. Almost 1 million animals are living in zoos today. Do you want the poor animals living in cages for the rest of their lives? By Geraldine

 

Jules Verne

5SK have been working through a selection of math problems about Jules Verne. We have learnt that he was a French author who wrote over 40 books. His most notable were Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. He is the second most translated author in the whole world.

Forest of Silence

We are about to start our unit on the book, Forest of Silence. Please read the first two chapters over the weekend. Take note of any words that are new to you or that may be a bit difficult. We will add these to our  Interesting Word Wall on  Monday.

 

If you find the book too difficult on your own, please follow the link below and listen to the recording. Try to follow along with the reader.
