 * My Notes

** ** Paw challenge **
 * Since Room 41 is such a caring and warmhearted classroom, they decided to do a charity challenge, for no reason apart from wanting the causes of their charity to get more money to do the things they want. **Of cause the charities wanted some sponsors, so they were only to happy to help us out a little by donating posters, stickers, stationary and more. The students in Room 41 spoke with happy, good natured voices so the person on the other end would feel bad for not sponsoring!

One of the best teams is Charity for the PAW. The whole of this team signed to a contract that states that they will work as a team, they will help others, they will support one another and they will never say a put down. It has been two weeks since the start of the charity challenge and no one has breached the contract they all signed. The pressure has started to sink in but the group is staying on top, refusing to let the pressure beat them. Some of the group started to get fustrated with the lack of contact of some of the sponsors, but most of the group managed to keep their cool. Finally, the sponsers contacted the group and that seemed to melt most of the tension that had seeped into even the most calm and collective people. The group was glad to see the past tensions fly out the door and the reassurance come back.
 * Teamwork **

But then, drama! Even though the charity had called them back, they hadn't given them all the details and whenever the group tried to call, it went to answer phone. The group were very aggravated and without any charity they could go no further. One of the team mates tried to get another charity but they too lacked in response, stopping any progress with that charity too. Finally, they got a callback by their original charity with the excuse that they have had alot of cases lately. We took Paw justice's callback with great relief, it seemed they could finally advance in the challenge, to selling the raffle tickets.
 * Charity drama's **

The group had gone through alot. From communication, to money problems, the group had their fair share of problems. The group did pull through in the end, selling just over ... tickets. Something that the group learned from this expericance, is that you can't count on people that you haven't met face to face. Another thing they want to do better is the presentation of their selling as they did not have time to make a sign or anything fancy like that.
 * Classification **

**Research Report : Information Report**
Anthony from looking at a variety of writing samples (e-asTTle, Information Reports & Reflections) from across Term 1 you have the ability to write at a Level 4 which is equivalent to meeting the NZ National Standard for Year 8. Your writing always has creative use of language and you seem to be able to manipulate words easily to give your writing flare. However it is important to remain consistent in your efforts e.g. this Information Report lacks some basics such as images or graphs to support your writing and although you have used some good sentence structure there is so much more information you could have elaborated on. Remember to plan your writing well, consider what points you can cover in each paragraph before beginning your writing. This will help give your writing more depth and substance. **
