Reading: Activating Prior Knowledge

Hi, in Hurumanu 3  we read a story. When we read something new we are often reminded of things we already know about the text, It might be something we've done before, read about, seen on TV, or seen at the movies. This is called prior knowledge. We activate our prior knowledge to help us to understand the text better.

This text is called Jump, that's the title of the text and it's about bungee jumping. Mr Mitchell told us about the time he went bungee jumping to gave us some detail. Also he has a son and his 33 years old but he got scared and his the one who tell to go bungee jumping.

The people in this photo were going to bungee jump, the two kids and the guy with green jacket are family. The two kids were sibling and their names is Matiu and Pania, and the guy with green jacket is their uncle. When they are going up in the bungee jump Matiu stomach feel like a jelly while they are going up.

When they got in the top Matiu got scared, while his Pania and his uncle were just walking and not fearing how high they are. Matiu is scared of high, just then he want to go bungee jumping, but when he came in the top hi scared of continue to do the bungee jumping.

This text is pretty good, because it's remind me when I was going to jump in the high place on the water but I over come the fear of that high, and it's also remind me when I got scared and back down the high. The text is so amazing and they are reminding the past the happened to me.
