Answer the questions:

1. What did the Epidemiology story explain?

2. What does an epidemiologist do?

3. How does Dr Emma Miller describe the type of work she does?

** This task will be

compulsory each week

because your teachers

would like to collect and

like this task to be

completed independently

(like a test in class), so we

can continue to monitor

your amazing progress in

reading.

else with similar characteristics. Hills bleached gold, a baked blue sky Why does the author not just say the hills were gold coloured or the sky was blue? How do the metaphors help us understand?

6. Simile: a simile compares two different things using “like” or “as”. Winding like a small black snake How is a fire like a snake? How does this simile help us understand the fire?

7. Personification: occurs when an animal or object is given qualities or abilities that only a human can have. One small spark brought fire awake Do fires “wake up?” How does this help us understand the fire?

8. Inference: readers infer by drawing conclusions based on evidence in the text combined with their own knowledge and experience. The images above (metaphor, simile and personification) help us understand the meaning behind the text. What can we infer from the words?

2. How do bushfires start? You may need to google this.

3. How do bushfires spread? You may need to google this.

4. What differences would there be between a fire in a city and a country town?

Activity 2: Watch this video:

7. What have you learnt about bushfires that you didn’t already know?

4. Why have we heard more about epidemiology over the past year?

5. The COVID pandemic isn’t the first big disease outbreak the world has ever seen. True or false?

6. In which century were viruses first identified? a. 18th century b. 19th century c. 20th century 7. Which outbreak did John Snow help to control?

8. Apart from helping to fight pandemics like COVID, epidemiologists also fight health problems like…

9. What did you learn watching this story?

10. What questions do you have about the BTN story?

Who is Edward Jenner?

Watch this Horrible Science video to learn about Edward Jenner, then answer the following questions:

English: Infographics

“Turn In” Task

Lesson focus: planning your infographic.

Activity one:

Use feedback from your teachers to improve your infographic

Think about:

• Your research. The best infographics are visual without a lot of text.

• Use bullet points – plan text first and pictures second.

• Plan your design – you need a logical path for readers.

• Use larger print for the most important facts and smaller print for the supportive text.

• Don’t forget a title for your infographic.

• Use data and graphs to provide important facts.

Activity two:

English: Infographics

Lesson focus: design and create your infographic.

Activity one:

Using your work from yesterday, start designing your infographic.

Canva is an excellent tool, and you can sign in using your student login.

***REMEMBER***

Infographics are similar to posters, because they need to be presented on one sheet. You are NOT meant to create a PowerPoint presentation. You need to present your data and information on one sheet only.

Important features:

1. Title 2. Bullet points 3. Pictures 4. Data and graphs 5. Limited text 6. Larger text and pictures

for the most important facts

English: Infographics

“Turn In” Task

Lesson focus: Editing and publishing your infographic.

Activity one:

Read over and edit your infographic. Check your:

- Spelling - Capital letters - Punctuation - Formatting

Remember the more visually appealing your infographic the better.

Activity two:

Show your infographic to a family member and request feedback.

Post to Google Classroom under the link ‘Friday Literacy Work Sample’

Use the link to view the countries that experience the most natural disasters –they are in various shades of red so you must scroll down on the list to locate the countries with “very high chance of disasters”.

Use the questions below to help you brainstorm and research natural disasters in your chosen country. Use a mind map (like the one above) to help you plan.

• What country did you choose?

• What type of natural disaster/s affect this country? (Some countries are prone to more than one type of natural disaster),

• What was the impact of the natural disaster on the people and environment?

• When was the last time a natural disaster hit this country and what happened?

1. Organise your information into a Visual Hierarchy The most important information should be larger.

2. On a blank piece of paper or post it notes, plan out the structure of your infographic. How do you want your infographic to look? Some of you did this very well last week. Take another look at the student samples posted by your teacher in Google Classroom.

Floods

Flooding is a natural disaster where a piece of land that is usually dry is

submerged under water. Some floods occur suddenly and recede quickly,

while others can take days or months to build and regress. When floods

occur in an area where people live, the water can damage or even wipe

away farms, houses, bridges, cars, trees and other heavy items. Flood

waters can be very dangerous. People even lose their lives during floods.

Layers of the Earth and Plate Tectonics Use the words below to complete the cloze passage:

The crust is the layer of the Earth upon which we live. It is made up of

[3] ______________ crust). The [4] ______________ is the layer underneath

the crust. It is made up of both solid and [5] ______________ rock. The

mantle is much [6] ______________ than the crust. It is around 3000 km

deep. The outer core is the layer underneath the mantle. The outer core is

made up of liquid iron and nickel. It is around 2000 km thick. The [7]

______________ [8] ______________ is at the centre of the planet. It is also

made up of iron and [9] ______________ However, due to the intense

pressure surrounding it, the metals exist in a [10] ______________ state.

major plates are the African, Antarctic, Eurasian, North American, South

American, India-Australian and the Pacific plates. [16] ______________

plates can slide past each other (transform boundaries), slide away from
