WALT: analyse media with an open but critical eye to inform our own opinions

Today for literacy we did an activity on Eu - social plants. Eu - social means a animal or

insect showing a new level of social organisation. The first thing we had to do was we

had to read the article. Once we had finished the article we had to answer the recall

questions. When we finished the recall questions we had to do a little glossary of the

words that you don't know in the article. Once we finished the glossary we had to do a

little activity as you can see below. After we finished that we had to do some facts

about Lord Howe Island. If you don't know where Lord Howe Island is. It is in between

New Zealand and Australia in the Tasman sea.

Recall Questions

of the trees like parasites. They were also talking about insects like bees,

the bee soldiers and the queen bee.

This event happened on the 17th June 2021.
