Today LS2 has reaseached about taniwhas. Specifically the Moko-Ika-hiku-waru (the taniwha who lived under the Panmure Bridge). It was really fun making this we made this with shaped and tools from google drawings we used a bit of polyline to draw this taniwha. This task was done with partners being Kato and Ali.
After reading the ‘Diary of Anne Frank’ and the book of The Boy in the Striped Pyjama’ we talked about what people have felt like when their whole world turned upside down. I really can’t imagion what it felt like in these times because some of the main characters we’re very good, they also showed how in good times we can still find our comfort and friendship that helps us have a good bond.
Yesterday we also learned about and discused how we could put their cloth of dreams back together again. This activity was inspired by the book “Teaspoon of Light”, We also drew what we thought about what different dreams the prisoners had just like their dreams of Hope, Freedom, Whanau, and their dreams dignity that they could finally go out and have freedom.
We all worked collaboratively with no rules beacuse it was about creative expressions that we could feel so that we know what they could of dreamed of, we also used the expression and gesture of being respectful because we don’t really know what happened in their lifes.
Today, me and my group created a summary of The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. We used an audiobook to base and sample our text from. Our text used both mood, and atmosphere. Mood is the feeling of the text (or room), and atmosphere is the whole vibe of the story. This helped us use simple, compound, and complex sentences more easily, as both mood and atmosphere require some amount of the three. We collaborated to write this summary of the book, and used all of our skills combined together to create our summary.
We also dived into the world of round characters, flat characters, protaganists and antagonists. Flat characters are characters that we don’t get much info about, and most of the time, their character doesn’t really evolve around the story, like how a round character would. Round characters are characters that evolve with the story. We see most of their backstory, and they interact with the protagonist more then a flat character would.
Speaking of protagonist, a protagonist is a character that the story revolves around. We see their thought procces, and their view of the story. Most of the time, protagonist stand against the antagonist, and antogonists are portrayed as villans. Antogonists are characters who don’t get along with the protagonist, and they try to ruin everything the protagonist does.
Something I found in the book that intriuged me is how cruel the Germans acted, and how Shmuel somehow managed to hold on to a sliver of hope, even when the soldiers tried to take it away. Another thing I found interesting is how Bruno sees the world. Bruno sees it as a happy little world where only Germans exist. He doesn’t realize the true horrors that his own country is commiting genocide.
Also, in case you don’t know what genocide is, genocide is when a person (or group) decides to try to eradicate a certain group of other people (and possibly animals). The story shows how a child slowly realizes that his own country is torturing an entire race of innocent people, and even when his story ends, he still holds on to hope, and reassures his best friend that he is his best friend for life.
Today I want to show you what mood, atmosphere, and types of characters are, and what they are like. This DLO that I made with my group explains all of that perfectly. A protagonist is a character that the story revolves around. Almost all of the time, we get to see their version of the story, which is different from the villains. An antagonist is a character that rebels, or stands against the protagonist. A round character is a character that develops with the story. We get to know a lot about them. But flat characters are characters that don’t develop around the story, or have little to no development. We don’t get to know much about them, we only know basic details about them. Mood is a feeling that the reader gets while reading the story, while atmosphere is something that lingers and something that can define a whole chapter.
Today me and my buddy Prince created a DLO that represents the overall mood of two characters from a book called: The Boy In The Stripped Pyjamas. It shows how they felt throughout the story of TBITSP.
LI: To use AI to create an image that contrasts two different sernarios.
Today in LS2 we made a presentation on how we can show what contrast is, and how it look’s like. While making this me and my partner were talking about the contrast of the two characters were both compared. I part I liked the most was designing thee title.
LI: To learn how to tell false information on the internet from real information
The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus may seem real, but it’s not. Today I made a DLO on The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, which explains the Tree Octopus. The Tree Octopus site was actually a hoax created by a collage student, its not real. Its hard to tell, isn’t it?
LI: To vary our sentence lengths to create pace and impact
Today I want to show you how to use simple, compound, and complex sentences using this DLO. It shows you how to use them, what they are, and some examples of what they should look like. My DLO breaks simple, compound, and complex apart so you can understand it.
LI: To learn how to Identify prime numbers
Today we were making a DLO about prime numbers. We were making it because we had just learned about prime numbers. So we created a DLO that can help people understand prime numbers. Prime numbers are numbers that can only be divided with 1, and itself. For example, 2 is a prime number because it can only be divided by 1 and itself. Any number that does not fit that description is called a composite number.
