LI: to use our smart searching skills to find information about the giant panda.
Our focus for this challenge was based on writing TEEL paragraphs about giant pandas. After using our smart searching skills, we used the TEEL structure in order to write paragraphs. TEEL is the acronym for: topic sentence, elaborate, evidence and link sentence.
First we researched about giant pandas and found information about them. After this, we made bullet point notes including the main points of our research. These notes helped create sentences with all the main ideas and made it understandable.
After making the notes we started writing our TEEL paragraphs. TEEL paragraphs help us to expand our knowledge/ideas and formulate our thinking into informational pieces of text.
We found this activity very enjoyable because we collaborated together to find out shocking information about pandas. One thing I learnt from this activity was that giant pandas are very close to extinction.
Hi Juel
ReplyDeleteYour research about the Giant Panda was very informative and very interesting. I was really surprised to learn how tiny the newborns were and it is sad that sometimes only the strongest infant is cared for and the weaker ones don't survive. I was also amazed at the amount of food a Giant Panda can consume per day. It was shocking to read of the many threats facing the Giant Panda and that they are close to extinction.
Keep up the great work.
Good Morning Juel
ReplyDeleteGood to see your postings. The information on Pandas is very comprehensive. Good to see that you have used the TEEL structure to focus and construct your writing.
A little known fact was related to this, was that Police cars were often referred to as Pandas. I'll let you work out why.
