connections:
- that things are not always black and white (one's idea of villainy) - here, Bill G's teacher  will never be mistaken for a villain
- fiction is not always/necessarily 'untrue.'
- & sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction haha

offer:  
- a familiar personality (Bill Gates)
- actual photographs of the teacher (Ms Blanche!)
- an opportunity to explore more about the 'story.'
- the impact of such persons on the world can be felt/seen/experienced by the reader
-  shared interests (reading) & everyday experiences of a 9/10-year-old extends across geographical/cultural boundaries]]> 2022-11-23 04:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/rcfrindlews_nov22/wish/2395026283 Zarinah - Session 4 ( A Teacher Who Changed my Life) https://padlet.com/moegebr/rcfrindlews_nov22/wish/2395078751 Connections
- relating to real-life event (comparison between the two teachers in the story)
- the cause and effect (a student having a hard time, a librarian/teacher coming to the rescue but in different ways)

Offer
- factual info/ account of events (real life event versus the fictional story which have some events that occur in reality)
- offers accurate images to readers (the power a teacher has over the students)
- usage of photographs/artifacts (picture used in the text versus that in the book)

]]> 2022-11-23 05:12:05 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/rcfrindlews_nov22/wish/2395078751 A Teacher Who Changed My Life - Farhana Session 4 https://padlet.com/moegebr/rcfrindlews_nov22/wish/2395085479 Connections:
- both texts include characters who are teachers
- teacher descriptors are similar suggesting that both were passionate teachers ): 
1) Ms Caffiere (real life example) was a kindly, an important figure in Bill Gate's childhood who had instilled good after-reading habits in him such that he was hungry for knowledge; 
2) Mrs Granger (fictional) was described as one who had a perfect attendance record (wouldn't want to miss a day of teaching, would she?), highly disciplined (from her attire and routines), grading tests frequently (language drills), taught children to be self-reliant and consult the dictionary and learn from it (which is a good habit).  
- both teachers transformed their students' lives through challenging them (Ms Caffiere discussed books with Bill Gates while Mrs Granger's actions of not giving in subsequently pushed Nick to go all out to prove that "frindle" can be an acceptable word) and be aware of the terms that he was learning (e.g. ain't, consumers)

Non-fiction texts
- offer real life stories that could not be made up; something that is true and factual
- give hopes to those who want to compare real life events to their personal experiences and reflect on them (Bill Gates was able to succeed because his teacher challenged him; possible lesson learnt - not all challenges are meant to oppose one's desire. e.g. If a teacher gives you a lot of homework, it doesn't mean that she/he wants to burden you and make your life difficult. Your teacher wants you to work hard and imprint what you have learnt in your head and you would grow to continue to work hard out of habit.)
- allow students to see from the perspective of a student who is now successful
- allow students to realise that not all teachers are bad (or the villains in their personal lives); teachers have a job and certain things must happen for them to help their students grow and thrive which could help them unpack Mrs Granger's character in Frindle]]> 2022-11-23 05:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/rcfrindlews_nov22/wish/2395085479 Audrey (Session 4) https://padlet.com/moegebr/rcfrindlews_nov22/wish/2395086489 ▪What connections can we draw between the non-fiction texts and the book? 
There was a teacher figure in both texts who played a significant role in shaping a student's life.
▪What do the non-fiction texts offer that the book does not?
The non-fiction text offered insights into the experience of a real individual whose life was greatly impacted by a teacher-figure. 
The use of authentic texts also helps the students draw connections to the real world.
It also offered text written in another text type: Recount vs Narrative, which allowed students to see the text and language features used in the different text types, especially in the narrating of events.

- Both Annabelle and Nick are enterprising by nature. They see a worldly problem and find a practical solution. (Annabelle's suggestion to make medication more inclusive for the less well to do countries. Nick's rally to coerce an improvement to the canteen food quality.
▪What do the non-fiction texts offer that the book does not:
- While Nick do create changes in his community, I find that Annabelle's changes are more beneficial and practical, as well as it extends beyond her immediate community.

Nick-Frindle; Annabelle-an electronic board that could run various AI software.
Inquisitive minds, visionaries, and risk-takers; Nick(It was a plan, a whole plan, just begging for Nick to put it into action. And "Action" was Nick’s middle name, pg 37) 
Annabelle: "That's why I'm running my own company. I have the independence to share useful technology with smaller businesses that may not have resources to build it from scratch,"
 
▪What do the non-fiction texts offer that the book does not?
Practicality and how it would benefit others (an aviation corporation, an automation industry company and chocolate company Ferrero.

The idea that frindle could have been an official word one day was not preposterous.

Offer - Real life examples of how language evolves. What is termed as slang one day- if used widely enough may become an official word. Relatability; frindle is set in the US, in an earlier period. This non-fiction text in our local setting may prove to be more relatable to the children.]]> 2022-11-23 05:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/moegebr/rcfrindlews_nov22/wish/2395100824 Pin Pin (Session 4) https://padlet.com/moegebr/rcfrindlews_nov22/wish/2395132973 Connections:
- Both texts are about teachers who inspire, even though Mrs Granger was portrayed like a foe to Nick at times and ( a foe can turn out to be a friend in the end)
-  Both illustrate the important role of teachers – Nick and Bill Gates have grown significantly due to the influence of their teachers 
-  The book may contain characters that the author had come across and he created them based on an actual events or real people 
- They may contain settings, characters and a plot
 
 
Offers:
 -  Students are presented with real life pictures and people whom they can relate to and they are able to research more on the details if they like 
-   Non-fiction texts focus on what is real so students are able to connect themselves to the world
-  The information presented could be verified as it is accurate and factual
- The authenticity of it makes it more convincing for readers, thus motivating them
