Reflecting on Creating My Immigrant Interview WeVideo

I had so much fun creating this WeVideo for the interview I did with my grandfather. It was a great experience that I enjoyed very much. I put a lot of effort into my WeVideo and I hope that it helps people learn about my grandfather.

Reading the Weather Reading the World – Project Ignite Reflection

The process of making this weather ignite was very interesting and very hard. There were many steps. First we had to be put in groups then we had to chose what we would want to research about in  the area of tsunamis. By that i mean we had to decide if we would research the firsthand experiences the important events the measurement and safety the causes or the effects. I chose to do firsthand experiences. we researched about three to four weeks. then we had to take that research and put it in to one narrative per person. Then we had to take it and slice it into smaller parts that we can say in fifteen seconds so we had one whole script.

I started out with two slides and now i have six. Then we had to put in images that matched with what we were saying. After that we had to paste into the speaker notes so the words aren’t visible when you put it in present. We had to practice over and over and over again by now are timing is really good. We still practice once a day.

 

My Expert Book

My expert book is all about Camp Pontiac Color War. The title of it is Camp Pontiac Color War. I enjoyed writing and typing this slide show. It was challenging to think of captions and putting them in. In this book you might read that there was a robot dinosaur that breathed real fire. I hope you enjoy reading my book!

Thanks for reading!

We Need a Kitten

We Need a Kitten

 

I think I should be allowed to have a kitten. In my opinion piece, I shared my reasons which are I think I deserve to have a kitten, me and Jenna would love it with all our hearts and it would make me more responsible.

In my project I wrote a persuasive piece, made a slideshow, and recorded it. It was a fun experience for me and it was a little challenging to. What was challenging was recording when it was so noisy. For my recording I used screencastify. I hope you watch and enjoy my slideshow and agree on why I should get a kitten.

    

Terrific Tribals


I struggled in my seat as the lights turned off, the microphone dropped and we all heard a SCREECH. Then they started announcing my division. I was freaking out. They announced the Orange Team, the Blue Team, the Yellow Team. Then finally the green team! They said my name first. I ran through the tunnel the CITS were making, got my shirt, put it on, and went back to my seat.

When everyone else was getting their shirts I thought about how I was the  first one to be announced on my team. When we left we had a little activity. We skipped a few things, but it was okay. Next Thursday, we had tribals again. We had a meeting and our tribals captain told us we would have a meeting every time. I was super happy about that.

 

She told us what activity we would be doing. My division was doing soccer. Let’s just say we didn’t do very well. But two weeks of tribals had passed and green team was in…1st place. But we still had three more weeks. The other teams could catch up. But…lucky for us they didn’t. Then the last day of tribals came. The Big Giche Gomie. My event was running backwards.

 

I heard screaming. “Go Green Team!”

“Go Yellow Team…. Go Orange Team…. Go Blue Team!”

I was screaming inside my body. In my head I was doing my happy dance. A super, named Sydney, ran through the doors of bunk 9 and passed me the baton. I started running backwards racing towards the flagpole to give the baton to the two CITS. And then it happened. I fell on my back. The CITS we’re like “Come on!”

“You got this!”      

“Get up!”

“You can do it!”

I got up and I ran to the CITS. It was crazy.

But I got back up and got to the CITS, gave them the baton, then they said, “Good job!”

Then a counselor said, “Are you ok?”

I said “Yep,” as I raced for Pine Island.

When the team captains came, yellow was first. Sadly, green was last. But that was only for the Gichie Goomie. Then they announced the real winner. It was green team! I wanted to scream. My team won on my first year. Squeeeee! I was so happy.
