Why it's great to be me

These are all the words that explain why it's great to be me. This task was fun because we had to get into a group of four and log into our Tagul account this is a website that creates a word cloud and it is very awesome to use. In my group of four we had to type these words in order with the ABC.

Capitals

Since I am Yr 7 I must know where I put my capitals in my writing. This really helped me to improve and practice where I should be putting my capitals. Which will make me get better and better at my writing.

Two Day Wonder

Two Day Wonder

There is a clever contrast between the way the poet describes yesterday and today. List all the words that give you a feeling of being sick, sad, depressed or bored.

Dragged, silent, still, dragged, sulked, yawned and garbled.

Now list all the words that describe feeling well, happy, bright and active from the second verse.

Shine, dance, better, hurry, flying, clatter, swish and gallops .

The lines from each verse match up also. List five of the opposite images. This first one is done for you.

The street stretched silent - Cars swish, skateboards clatter.

Washing dropped on the line - Shirts, sheets, socks stream in the breeze.

Clouds dragged low and slow - Clouds hurry high and flying.

The dog sulked in his bucket - The do gallops around the house.

My bike lay on the drive - My bike waits by the garage.

The world yawned and grumbled - The world shines and dances.

This is called juxtaposition. Look this word up in the dictionary and copy the definition here.

The fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect.

For reading my group had to each read a poem called "Two day wonder" after reading this poem I answered questions that my teacher Ms Kirkpatrick put on a document. I now know a new word called juxtaposition this word means when something is compered with something else that is the opposite.

Apostrophes

For my writing task my teacher Ms Kirkpatrick made 8 sentences that had a missing apostrophe I had to put the apostrophe in the right place. 

Kim-T5

For key into inference I am now on T5/Kim. When I finished answering questions I had to do a activity which was to make a map that says how many steps from my bedroom to the kitchen to get a drink of water.

Career-Flight Attendant

For inquiry we did careers for this topic we had to take a test on a website called Career quiz when you enter this website it will ask you questions about careers and at the end it will give you a list of careers that would fit for what you want. I took the quiz and it gave me more then 100 results and I picked a flight attendant because I love travelling the world and helping other people. This helped me to strive and to know what I want for future and I could learn what I have to learn so I can be a flight attendant. This DLO will show you how much money I would earn, Skills,knowledge and ability and also what I would do as a flight attendant.

Flextangle

For maths I crated a flextangle this was fun and when I finished it looked even better then I thought. This was fun because it was something different then what I normally do for maths. I found it challenging to make sure that I created it correctly.

She cross the bridge riding her bike but as she was riding on her bike the strong wind blew her hat away when she got home she was. For this task I had to type down a conversation that Melissa would

This dance is for the end of this terms production which was really exciting. Zoe helped us to create this dance she also chose the music "Staying Alive" which I really love. I would like to thank Zoe for everything she has done to create this dance. Learning the dance really helped my group do the dance in sync and making the dance came together.
