Are Pigeons Special or Pests?

Are Pigeons Special or Pests? 

For our last lesson on Pigeons we have been forming our own opinion whether Pigeons were pests or not.   Our group collaboratively worked together and made a DLO that showcased each different opinions that we all have. To make it more interesting we took a group picture and recorded ourselves informing our opinion. I thought this was a great idea because it's different and I have never tried things like this before.  So combining all our information together we synthesized in a different kind of way. Instead of getting your prior knowledge and your new knowledge together to make a new understanding we actually used our new knowledge and our other pieces of new knowledge and put it together. I found our reading topic really fun because we got to use our skills that we have learnt this year and really have good use of it.

Pigeons

This week in reading we got to learn about Pigeons. Our learning intention was to develop the comprehension strategies of making connections, identifying the authors purpose and point of view, identifying main ideas , or evaluating. We used a multi modal , which is listening and reading . I worked collaborative with my group ( Jasmine, Charlize, Mahdia, Javeylor, A.J and Reon) . We had to write a point of view of if pigeons are pests or not pests. After listening to the audio I got persuaded that Pigeons are actually not pests the are unique to world history. We also made questions about Pigeons with the 5 w's.
