“10-Search and Find” explains a coordinate-based method for creating secret codes. Learners draw a graph, place letters at specified coordinates, and then spell words by reading the horizontal coordinate first. The text includes activities to decode words from coordinate sequences and to convert given words into coded coordinate forms. A closing message describes the School Journal (Senior) as a classroom teaching and reading resource, illustrated and written by Papua New Guinean contributors with supporting acknowledgements and licensing terms.

Secretary's Message

10-Search and Find School Journal Senior 2, 2008-V1 .1 English In our Grade 7 class we were learning about coordinates in maths, and we found a new way of making secret codes. This is what we did. We drew a graph, and located letters at different coordinates. This is how Winkle’sand Shane's graph looked. 1 Then they spelt out words, using the coordinates on the graph. (They had to remember to always put the horizontal coordinate first.) Can you read the words they wrote, using the coordinates on the graph? 2 Check Your Understanding 1) Which coordinate goes first? a) Horizontal b) Vertical Check Your Understanding 2) Use the graph in the text to spell out these words. a.

Search and Find Secretary's Message The Papua New Guinea School Journal (Senior) is a collection of writing suitable forchildren in Grades 6-8. The Journal is intended as a teaching and reading resource and as supplementary reading and should be available for children to read in the classroom. Teachers are encouraged to read a story from the Journal to their class every day, in this way their children will become familiar with the stories and will want to read them for themselves. The Journal was written and illustrated by Papua New Guinean writers and illustrators. The Department of Education wishes to acknowledge the support of the New Zealand Government in making these Journals available for the children of this country.

FAQs

How do you create the secret code using the graph coordinates?

Draw a graph and assign letters to specific coordinates. When reading coordinates, always use the horizontal coordinate first.

How can the given coordinate sets be used to read the words?

Use the graph’s coordinate-to-letter mapping to translate each coordinate pair into its letter, then combine the letters to form the word.

What is the purpose of the School Journal (Senior) described in the Secretary's Message?

It serves as a teaching and reading resource and supplementary classroom reading for children in Grades 6–8, with teachers encouraged to read stories daily.
