Story Map about Petronas By Tina Shaw.

Ki Ora!

We have been learning a mysterious fiction book called Petronas. At the start of the book, the author tells us that she has been inspired by water. We have been taking water for granted, out of taps. But What if you lived in a place where finding water was hard work, she says. Well we have been doing activities from every chapter, about what it was about or what we learned in it. After we finished it, at the end of the slide show was "Response to text". It basically means that work to show share it to the class and you guys. I skipped the (Chapter 1-5) Response to text and finished that 6-7 Response to text. 

Well here is mine

If you read a book, what kind of Book would it be? Fiction or Non-Fiction?

What is Media?

Ki ora!

Today i'll tell you guys what media is. We have been learning how to classify different forms of media. Media comes in many different forms such us Print media, Broadcasting Media and Online Media. After we all learned the different types of media, we made a Venn diagram. Then we name the three circles with the media. Then we put things that originate from those medias e.g. Netflix goes into the online media and newspapers goes in the Print media.

Well, here is my Venn diagram that shows the different types of media.

So if you have a similar task to mine, what would you put in the Venn Diagrams?

I found the information in Uru Manuka

I thought I did well but at first I had a really hard time to understand the media. But when I learned more I understood what media is.

Toolkits

 Ki Ora!

Today, we used the Toolkit prepared by our cluster of year 7&8. First, the day before our teacher shared with us a doc that contained a link for a sheet. It was about what toolkit we will go through tomorrow (Today). For my first session it said that I go in "How to Use Prezi" But I'll skip all of that as I didn't learn anything because of technical difficulties that took most of the time.

The last session was the most important session as it took 30 minutes for the session to finish and in that time I learned "How to Use Prezi" (Yeah I know, I already did the prezi. But the link to my original toolkit didn't work) The leaders who were presenting it was Mia Lee and 2 other were from Yaldhurst Model School. I really enjoyed the toolkit. 

If you can choose your own school, what would it be?

Smart Relationships

 Ki Ora!

What is a spam? What I know about a spam is that they don't have any post in their blog. They comment on your blog and when you think their comment is fishy you clock on their name above their comment. 

To start an online conversation. 

Tip #1 When someone comment on your post you answer their comment with a thank you for commenting and a question at the end.

Tip #2  Make your comment thoughtful and helpful.

Now enough talking.

If you were to make a book creator, what would the topic be?

Tapa

Ki ora!

Today i'm gonna show you guys one of my completed task for tapas. One of my activities was remembering and understanding. The remembering task is in the same slide as the understanding but it was remembering what tapa is and what is true or false, and how to make a tapa cloth and what the main function of the tapa. The understanding part means if I understand tapa. The first task for the understanding is to summarize the title "A Vanishing Art". Then the next task is how you can make the dyes for the tapa and what you need to make it. 

I couldn't really find any link for the book.

I really think I understand what the tongan tapa is and that I finished the tasked really quickly.

So, If you were to make a Tapa what colors would you choose to dye it?

Scale

 Ki ora!

Hi guys, today i'm gonna tell you guys what scale means and how to use a scale. First things off, our teacher taught what scale is. During that, she called people who volunteered to help her measure our classroom. At the end our classroom was 9 meters length and 7 meters width.  After measuring the class, she gave us a grid paper, at the time most of use were confused and didn't know what to do! But later on we got to know scale. The gird paper was full of 5 by 5 squares. Then we made a 9 by 7 rectangle in the paper, to recreate the classroom. After that our teacher tasked as to measure our desk and write in the grid paper. Eventually we all finished the tasked and measured other things in the classroom.

I really liked my work as well as my teacher because the placing was accurate.

So what did you think of mine? How big is your classroom? Comment down below
