My cinquain is about the moon and my free verse is about watching the Disneyland fireworks with my cousin. Here is a slide of all of our poetry. Cinquains is a type of poerty thats ordered from syllables. In the first line you have to have 2 syllables, then 4, then 6, 8 and back to 2. For freeverse, there are no rules. You can write it however you desire. My slide is the 4th one :P<br />
<br />
<br />

<b>Feed|back/ Feedforward: </b>Wow Aye that is some amzing poetry. My favourite is the free verse just the starting is wow! Next time I think you could work on the background or chose a diffverent colour for the words so that they stand out. but appart frome that I think you did an amazing job.<br />

<b>Evaluation</b>: Thanks Sophie for the feedback and Feedforward! I think that I have done a great job in using words to describe my topic. I believe I have officially gotten an understanding of Cinquains and Freeverse. Maybe next time I could add more language features and stay to the rules of Cinquains.</div>

We had to pick which inquiry group we wanted to be in and I chose Troy's Graduation inquiry. The reason why I wanted to be a Graduation was because its my last year and I want to make graduation something to remember. In graduation, we had to pick from different committees of what we wanted to work on. I chose the decorations and hats group because I wanted to be in the decorations group last year but I didn't get to. I also chose hats because I like hats I guess.<div><br></div><div>For graduation we try make as much as possible for the year 6's to leave something behind for us to remember them by. For example: in the decorations group, we are painting Jenga Blocks white so the year 6's can sign them for us to remember them by.</div><div><br></div><div>I think we thought outside the box because we thought of very creative ideas for graduation. Some are inspiration from Pinterest and others were completely original.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Kjpo14g5-zU/VlYa7MiD-pI/AAAAAAAABXM/-Y2DAI4MECE/s640/blogger-image--1162265496.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Kjpo14g5-zU/VlYa7MiD-pI/AAAAAAAABXM/-Y2DAI4MECE/s640/blogger-image--1162265496.jpg"></a></div></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>SEMI FINISHED 2015 banner thing.</b></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DiVcTl2fMeI/VlZgyhthMNI/AAAAAAAABXk/zS5kcIOdLvQ/s640/blogger-image-616103639.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DiVcTl2fMeI/VlZgyhthMNI/AAAAAAAABXk/zS5kcIOdLvQ/s640/blogger-image-616103639.jpg"></a></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058257051535761456.post-36855048707922678582015-11-20T11:48:00.001+13:002015-11-20T11:48:19.009+13:00Book Bash Blooms Questions 3I have been reading the Spiral Chrysalis.

<div>
<b>Description</b>: In class, we had to fill out a Self Managing, Directed and Agentic matrix to determine what goal we want to practise for the year. On the matrix, were 3 columns for Self Managing, Self directed etc. In each column were different goals which were appropriate for for the title. We had to highlight the goals pink or yellow. The ones that are pink are the ones we need to work on and the ones in yellow are the ones that we nailed. Here is what I found out after I filled out the sheet.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<b>I think I am a <strike>Self Managing / Self Directed</strike> / Self Agentic learner because: </b></div>

The type of poetry we are focusing on is Free Verse Poetry. Free verse means that there are no limits or rules to how we write our poem.<div>
<br></div>
<div>
The poem I wrote about was about seeing the Disneyland Fireworks. Here it is:</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<b>Bang! Bang! Bang!</b></div>
<div>
<b>The celebration has begun</b></div>
<div>
<b>Pow! Pow! Pow!</b></div>
<div>
<b>The colors explode to life</b></div>
<div>
<b>Lying in the grass,</b></div>
<div>
<b>Staring at the blanket of stars</b></div>
<div>
<b>Dreaming with my cousin</b></div>
<div>
<b>Music gets louder</b></div>
<div><b>Disney idols appear </b></div>
<div>
<b>The heart of Animation,</b></div>
<div>
<b>In one big splat of colors</b></div>
<div>
<b>A canvas of dreams appear</b></div>
<div>
<b>Thanks Disneyland</b></div>
<div>
<b>For being like no other.</b></div>

Book Bash is where the teachers give us 10 books to choose from. Then we pick 3 books of our choice that best appeals to our taste or intersest. I got chosen to read the Spiral Chrysalis first.<br />
Here are my predictions on my first look at the book:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Title: </b>I think The Spiral Chrysalis sounds like a book about a butterfly because butterflies make chrysalis'. I wonder why it says "Spiral" in the title though. What does a chrysalis have anything to do with a spiral?<br />
<br />
<b>Cover Design: J</b>ust looking at the cover intrigued me. I think the two girls might be sisters and they encounter a chrysalis in their garden. The wind is sweeping their hair across the breeze which seems like it's coming from the chrysalis. WHY THOUGH!? And there appears to be blood stains...<br />
<br />
<b>Blurb: </b>Honestly, I couldn't read the blurb because the photo was blurry but I'm sure it sounds cool. Judging by the fact my other preditions, they could give me a clue of what it says!<br />
<br />

Pae Tamariki is an annual maori event shared with primary and intermediate schools. It's a celebration of maori tradition but showing it in maori haka and dance. Pae tamariki was celebrated on the 31st July 2015.<br />

<br />
Big Idea: At Pae Tamariki, I felt... Scared to comfront everyone in the audience.<br />
<br />
I felt most proud of… smiling proudly no matter how nervous I was.<br />
<br />
I found folowing the actions challenging because… everyone was sometimes swaying their arms different ways so that confused.<br />
<br />
I managed this challenge by…. remembering the correct movements and sticking to my instincts.<br />
<br />
At Kapa Haka, I next want to.. Practising memorising the correct actions instead of embarssing myself by accidentally doing the wrongs movement.<br />

Big Idea: My goal in maths is PLAT. (Proportional Adjustment) PLAT is basically working out multiplication facts using doubling and halving AND tripling and thirding. For example: 12 x 5. If we were using doubling and halving we would halve 12 and double 5. That would be 6 x 10. That makes it easier and we get the answer 60. For the first question we had to use 2 strategies. One of the strategies I used was PLAT. The other strategie was KNOWN FACTS. Known facts is basically working your way up to the answer using facts that you know. For example 32 + 32. 30+ 30 = 60. 2 + 2 = 4. 60 + 2 = 62. Next is R/C (Rounding and Compensating) For example: 5x19. First we round 19 to 20. 5x 20 = 100. 100 -5 =95</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Evaluation: I think I have done well in using my strategy effectively. I believe I have proven my understanding in using PLAT. I think I might need to work on using R/C because I rarely use this strategy in my learning but instead use algorithm or PVP or even PLAT. </div>

Feedback/ FeedForward: You have done a good job at explaining your strategy. I like the way that you have presented your learning I learnt lots from it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next time you could try to add more stratigies to your brain and remember how they are all used!</div>

<br>
Big Idea:<br>
In class, I have been investigating modern architecture for Passion Project. I choose modern architecture because it's really interesting of how different our style of houses change. If you don't know what modern architecture is, it is basically a modern or complex design of a building or a house.<br>
<br>
Here is a bit of the info I've gathered so far:<br>

Evaluation: I think I have done well in gathering info of my pasion. I think what I need to do next is to start designing my dream home. I'm pretty sure I will start designing the floor plan with math paper so I can get the lines right. I also need to design the actual architechtual design right after. I have lots of images for inspiration.</div>

<b>Description: </b>In writing, my goal is to use planning templates. I chose this goal because I rarely get much ideas about what to what to write about and I NEVER use a planning template. I tried to get better at this goal by think of the most juicy words and write them down so I could add them in my writing. In my writing group we used the image below to help us get motivation of what to write about.<br />

<b>Big Idea: </b><br />
<br />
We had to brainstorm precise nouns and descriptive adjectives about the image above to inspire us.<br />
We also had to brainstorm 'prompts' about wha our character could see, hear or feel. For our planning, we used a mountain template to help us plan our story. We had to add lots of hints in our story so we can give the reader a clue about whats going on.<br />

<b>Feedback/ Feedforward: </b>I like the adjectives that you used Aye. Next time you need to make sure it makes sense because at points I didn't know what you were talking about. Ana<br />

The choices were: Out of Africa, Elements or Heros and Villans. Since I wasn't there, I was placed in Out of Africa. A Wearable Art is not a costume but a <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Garment.</u> A Garment is ART!!!! We also had to think of a color scheme. So we created a mood board to inspire us for making new ideas or creating different color schemes.<br>
<br>
Here is my mood board and my planning.<br>

I chose summarising because I think I need to work on summarising a story I have read without spoiling the ending. This is my goal because I want to work my way towards making a very good story. Summarising means to create a retell a story but only the KEY points. This includes: WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY and HOW. Since I've been practising summarising, I have to do summarising activities/ Tic-Tac-Toes. The activity that I'm doing at the moment is making a story wheel.<br />

The food chain with Troy, The digestive system with Suzanne and animal adaptions with Ebony. I chose to learn the digestive system with Suzanne. For the digestive system, we learnt lot's of interesting facts that we have never have known before. To gather all of this amazing info we made movies on what we have learnt about the digestive system.<br />
<br />

<br />
Big Idea: Here is a brief summary of what how the digestive system works. <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Digestion is all about breaking food down into tiny bits so it is small enough to travel all the nutrition around in your blood to feed your body and give it energy. All the leftovers (non nutrition) are placed together into this thing we call "poo". Watch the video above to see what happens inside our bodies and how the food travels around our body.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Feedback/Feed forward: I like how you added in some humor in the video. My favourite bit is the very end bit when your voice is very clear to here.You could work on making the video have a bit more information about the rectum and how it works. @^__^@ Ashlee</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span>
<br />
Evaluation: I think we showed a lot of creativity and excellence in our movie. We have added a lot of detail and info into our movie that the audience might of not known. Honestly, I think these facts will come in handy in the future. I think we need to speak more entertainingly so that our viewers won't get bored. Other than that, I think we have done a really good job. <br />

<span style="font-family: 'Lemon'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Big Idea : </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Lemon'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">At kapahaka I enjoy learning about the songs and how the songs relate to our culture. I also love to learn the moves of traditional dances.<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Lemon'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">I am most proud of being able to join the Kapahaka for the past few years and being able to perform in front of an audience.</span><span style="font-family: 'Gautami'; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'Lemon'; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Lemon'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">I find</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Gautami;"> pronouncing the Māori words </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Lemon'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">challenging because</span><span style="font-family: Gautami; font-size: 11.000000pt;"> Te Reo </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Māori is much more different than the english language. If you pronounce a word wrong, the word will have a completely different meaning. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Gautami'; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'Lemon'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">I am managing this challenge by</span><span style="font-family: Gautami; font-size: 11.000000pt;"> listening to what everyone else sings, then I copy what they say. If the person that I am copying is incorrect, the leaders would correct us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Gautami; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Lemon'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">A personal goal for me is</span><span style="font-family: Gautami; font-size: 11.000000pt;"> to be able to prove that I know all the meanings to the songs and the pronunciation correct by the end of the year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Gautami; font-size: 11.000000pt;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Lemon'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Our school wide focus this term has been around showing excellence. I
show this at kapahaka by striving to the best of my ability and trying my best to get the movements correct.</span><br />

Each Stage Group in maths had different questions. For example: Stage 5 had to use one number, while stage 6 had to use two. For stage 6 maths, we were tested on questions like: "Write two numbers that have a sum of exactly 30." These questions were laid out as Rebel Sport prices.<br />
<br />
Questions:<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Big Idea: The strategies that I'm learning at the moment is: R/C, E/A and P/V. If you don't know what these strategies do or what they mean, here is my explanation. R/C stands for "Rounding And Compensating" We basically round a number from our equation, then add how many numbers we rounded in the first place. If that makes no sense, here is an example: 63-39=? 63 - 40 +1 =24.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
E/A stands for Equal Additions. This is the same as R/C but except from add after the equation, we add before the equation. For example: 63-39=? 64-40=24. And P/V stands for Place Value. </div>

You are probably wondering what answers I got. Well, here are my answers as well as what strategies I used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) (P/V) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5+9 = 14</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
600+110+14=724</div>

WOW Aye, you are defiantly showing a lot of stratagies and what you have been very good at. You could work on showing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the Reversibility strategy. I really think you have shown us what you know and what to work on. You have done a lot of work on this as I have seen you in class. Amy</div>

Evaluation: Thanks Amy. I really think I have learned a lot of strategies that I have never have known before. I think I might need to use more strategies that may be a good match for the equation. Other than that, I think I have gotten a better understanding of different strategies. I hopefully can use these strategies in High School or College or my job!</div>

<b>Description: </b>My writing goal is to use a range of different sentences. One of them is complex sentences. I am gonna try get better at this goal by using a range of different sentences and try combining them together. In Troy's writing class, we watched a movie about a mouse trying to get adopted. We had to retell the story in our own way and try to add complex sentences in the story. Here is the movie we watched. It is called "Mouse For Sale":<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Big Idea:</b> Here is my story. The complex sentences are highlighted <span style="color: red;">red</span>. If you don't know what a complex sentence is, here is a brief explanation. A complex sentence is a sentence where it has two clauses. One of the clauses is an independent clause (which means it can stand alone) and the other is a dependent clause. For example: <u>Because my coffee was too cold</u>, I had to heat it in the microwave. The underlined part is the independent clause. The dependent clause can't stand alone so it is added to a independent clause.<br />
<br />
Here is my writing. Hope you enjoy!:<br />

Great Job Aye, I really like your writing! I love all the complex sentences that you have used. They make your writing much more interesting! Next time I think that you could make smaller paragraphs because they are sometimes a little big! Great Job! Hannah K </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I honestly think that I have developed an understanding of complex sentences. Before, I had never heard of a phrase like "complex sentences". I think I might need to work on using different types of sentences like: " Compound, simple, compound- complex etc" I'll work towards this goal by thinking more about how they work and which way will imporve my sentence. - Aye</div>

For today's Tic Tac Toes I have done "What's a Prefix?" Tic Tac Toes are reading activities that we can choose from to improve our literacy. Tic Tac Toes are cut into to groups. "Expanding Vocab" and "comprehension". I'm in Expand Vocab. Since in class we had to do a portfolio sample I decided to do a sample on this Tic Tac Toe. If you're wondering "what is a prefix?" let me explain. A prefix is is "affix" which comes in the beginning of a word. For example: if the prefix was "un" and you added it onto the beginning of "happy", you will get "unhappy". The "un" changes the meaning of happy to the meaning of "un" which has the same meaning as "not". <br />
<br />
<i style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here are my words that has the letters "TRI" in them."Tri" means "three." On a bicyle you add the letters "tri" and it makes "tricycle" A trycycle means it's a bike but with "three" wheels.</span></i><br />

Big Idea: We had to make a list of words with the letters "TRI" We had to find as many words as possible.</div>

Feedback/Feedfoward:</div>
<div>
WOW Aye!</div>
<div>
Those are awesome words that start with tri. I think I could use some of those words in my writing. Just a question what would you do if you could not find a device or a dictionary book how will you be able to find some new tri words? But you have done a very VERY good job.</div>

Thanks Sophie for the feedback and feedfoward. Just to answer you question: I think I would look around me and see if any objects or related objects might help me get more ideas. I think I might need to work on trying to get more juicy words and hopefully use these words in my writing. I will work my way up to this goal by looking in the thesaurus and maybe think about more complicated words that have the same meaning as the basic one. I also think I am doing well using the sucsess criteria because I use most of these strategies to find out about new words. Hopefully I will still remember these strategies when I get older! :D</div>
