Silent+Reading+Tasks

If you are on the computer during silent reading it is to complete reading related tasks and to silently read online work.

You should first log on to Reading Rewards and log in your reading time if you have not done this at home for homework as you may not have internet access at home.
 * Task One**



Next, you should read our online spaces and the work that our class has done or read the blogs and wikis of other classes in New Zealand.
 * Task Two**

Remember Have fun and use your time well, you will only get this opportunity once a week.
 * When you make comments on any page your username is visible.
 * The school rules apply online just as they do in the classroom.
 * If you leave a comment make sure it is valuable- don't waste people's time with dumb comments like 'cool' and 'good work'. Tell people exactly what you like about their work and pose questions about what they have written.
 * If you are leaving comments on blogs and wikis of other classes leave the url (website address) of our wiki so they can visit us. You can copy that from the web address space when you are on our wiki homepage.

Here are the url (web addresses) of the classes you can visit and leave comments on.
