Digital Postcard!

Today in our Manaiakalani session we learnt what's real and what's fake, We also learnt how to be safe online and how to avoid scams, We also created a digital postcard! We learnt that there must be a padlock in the URL.

I enjoyed choosing my background cause it was interesting to think about all of the interesting ideas I had in my head.

I found it challenging to get my whole body into the photo because I was to big so we had to do a lot of adjustments to get the right photo that would fit the shot.

I found it easy to make a paragraph about my "Trip" to the skate park! I found it easy because I already knew my idea while Mrs Williams was talking to us about these postcards.

Next time I will make my "trip" a more interesting part, So the paragraph I wrote is more interesting then my first one!

10 Things That Make A Good Recount!

 Today in our writing session Addison(My Writing Buddy) and I made a google doc, We discovered and wrote 10 words that make a good recount!!

My learning goal for the remainder of term 4 is to cooperate with my buddy better,  talk to my buddy more so we know how each other work and would like to work so we are more comfortable to work together.

In a recount I need to use rich words in my paragraphs more often so it is interesting for the reader so he/she would like to carry on reading an interesting recount not a boring one and stop reading.

Persuasive Writing- T3 21.09.20

This week my tuhi ropu have been writing a persuasive writing sample.

Something I struggled with but managed to overcome was finding examples and finding the evidence to my main points.

I did this by doing a planning first and using that to help with my actual copy of persuasive writing.

Something I didn't learn but would like to is how to find a lot more sites on the web that actually match with my question.

Pohutukawa E-BOOK :)

For this weeks Manaiakalani we made a book/video on our scratch tutorial!

In this process, I learned how to make a interesting video and how to decorate a little portrait slide. I also learnt how to make my slide portrait!

Something I struggled with but managed to overcome was coping with my group because they were a bit distracting especially on our slides.

I did this by doing a background to make it a bit interesting, Adding my video of my tutorial on scratch and making it look attracting to the reader/viewer.

Something I didn't learn but would like to is how to make my slide look more fascinating and more attracting so the reader and when people look at our class book they will be attracted to my slide and when people look on my blog!  : )

Scratch Tutorial! How to make your Sprite Character ask a question and how to say something.

Today in Manaiakalani we had to make a screencastify to show how to do something on scratch. :  )

Scratch is a easy coding game and it is very interesting to learn and to do some Manaiakalani mahi around it.

In the past I have used scratch to do many things such as games,learning and much more.

I think that scratch is a great coding game! :) There are many other awesome things to do on scratch.
