Argument and Advocacy Debates-Zoos

Researching was easy because there were so many people and each person didn’t have to do as much research as they would have done if everyone was by themselves. It was easy to prepare for the debate because everyone put their information together, so we had a lot more information than if we worked alone. I liked presenting with the group because it allowed us to split the presentation up, so I did not have to say as much. I thought after researching both sides, it was weird that we did not get to choose which side we debated.

In my project I studied the cultural universals of Australia. I did research from books and websites from the Heathcote library databases. I put facts in my script and then I recorded them into my adobe spark video. Then we put it on to youtube. Then we put the video on my blog. One thing I liked about this project was the recording. One thing I thought was difficult was gathering facts. I hope you enjoy my video.

 

We Need More Magazines

I think all third grade classes should have magazines too. In my opinion piece, I shared my reasons which are magazines have more up to date information, the articles are interesting, there are cool games and we can learn what’s happening around the world.

In my project, I created a screencastify that shared my opinion piece. It was a fun project but was a little challenging. I liked recording  my piece and writing it. What was hard was trying to find a quiet place to record. I hope you watch my slideshow and agree that we need more magazines.

The Tubing Trip

I felt like I was going to fall off. The boat was really fast. The tube was hitting wave after wave after wave. “THIS IS SO FUN!” Devin screamed holding onto the tube not wanting to fall off.

“THIS IS AWESOME!” Spencer screamed.

“There is salt water in my eye,” I said. “Ow!” I wiped the salt water off my eye. “Where is Devin and Spencer?”

All of a sudden my tube was sinking. BOOM! My head went right into the water and then the boat picked me up. My dad started to water ski. He is so good he could do tricks. He was jumping and holding on with one hand. It was really cool. After my mom, Spencer and Devin tried it was my turn. I jumped off the boat and got into the skis. My dad helped me put them on. I was nervous. “I’m going to fall off!” I thought. All of a sudden, the boat started. I tried to hold onto the rope and get up but then I fell. I only got one shot.

“Good try, Brody! Maybe you’ll do it next time.” My dad was circling me with the boat. I had a really fun day.
