Comparison Venn Diagram

Similarities and differences are found by using a Venn diagram. The Dippy Dinners Drippers is about a family who are messy eaters. Space Food is about what to do when sending food in space.

The similarities in both of the texts is that they're both narratives.

The differences in those text is that one is talking about a family who are messy eaters, where as the other is about what to do when sending food in space.

Similarities and differences helps me separate ideas from the book.

Swimming | Kiwisport

Today I practised my water safety skills that I learned from last week at the YMCA lagoon pool.

The first skill I practised was Streamline. All I did was put my arms up high straight and behind my ears.

The second skill I practised was Freestyle. What I did was fast kicking and did slow strokes.

The third skill I practised was Rolling. What I did was kick 6 times and turned around and floated on my back.

Lastly I practised diving. All I did was dive diagonally.

The skills I practised were fun. I found streamline difficult to do.

Figurative Language

Figurative language is deducing the meaning of what a person said.

There's 5 different figurative languages. 

A simile is comparing 2 things by using "like" or "as".

A metaphor is comparing 2 things without using "like" or "as".

A personification is giving human traits to objects and ideas. 

A hyperbole is exaggerating to show strong feelings or ideas.

A understatement is expressing with less strength than expected (the opposite of hyperbole).
