Today Mrs Anderson's reading group has been doing reading challenges to practice our Skimming and Scanning. We learnt what Skimming and Scanning Means Skimming is like a low flying plane - It goes over the information once and quite quickly. Scanning is like an helicopter, it finds what you are looking for and then hovers over until the information has been found.
I am a Year 8 student at Panmure Bridge School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Learning Space 2 and my teachers are Mrs Anderson and Ms Kirkpatrick.

This was such a fun lesson Manu! I loved watching the collaborative thinking that was happening as you all worked together to make the text make sense. Remember to use your skimming and scanning skills when you are researching too!
ReplyDeleteHi Manu, I like how you explained skimming and scanning as a low flying plane and a helicopter. Did you enjoy the reading challenge(s) your group was given?
