Polynesian Panthers

For the past week in reading, Rakino group has been reading a text that all revolves around the story of the dawn raids and the Polynesian Panthers. If you did not know the Dawn Raids were evacuation protocols which involved the police going to Polynesian homes and forcing them to show their passports that stated whether they were allowed to live in the country. If demands were not met, they were locked up and later kicked out of the country. Our challenge was to read the text and answer questions. With this new found knowledge we needed to create a DLO that showed both perspectives of the issue. 

What word's Look Like

Today as an excitement for reading, Rakino group read Oakley Creek. This book was interesting, because it reflects back to our inquiry topic. We worked collaboratively as group, by giving each other the opportunity to read a sentence. For this we used reciprocal reading, which helps us understand what the book was about. After doing this we defined 2 important words, which were dilemma and guilt. These 2 words belong to someone has been peer pressured. Guilt is someone who knows that they did something wrong, but don't want to regret what actually happened. Dilemma is someone that is in the middle of a situation, that is finding it difficult to find the correct pathway. We each drew pictures that represented dilemma and guilt. My image is about someone who is finding it difficult to find the right path to enter. The reason why we did this task was to help us understand the meaning of these two words.
