San diego zoo

Walt: think about the purpose and my reader by planning my recount

Purpose:

What message do I want my reader to have? (highlight)

Virtual tours of a zoo isn't as fun as a real zoo - Whitebait fritters

Plan of my paragraph topics

1. Introduction	Orientates and hooks
2. Body Paragraph 1	Disappointed when Mr Goodwin said we are going to the zoo then he said click on the link
3. Body Paragraph 2	Not as exciting then the real zoo
4. Body Paragraph 3	explaining that I prefer going in real life
5. Conclusion	What I think about the San Diego zoo

Yay we get to go to the zoo but this time it’s online. Virtual zoos for me aren't as cool I would rather real life because we can actually touch them. How would you feel if it happened to you?

We planned a recount for our virtual zoo tour. We wrote two and re-crafted one .We ended by planning at the start and marking myself on a rubric.

5. Conclusion	What I think about the fear factor challenge

This morning Mr Goodwin announced that we were going to be writing about the fear factor

but then I thought what are we going to do now. We watched a YouTube video of two people eating

maggots drowning in blood with a delicious side of rat hair chips and Madagascar hissing cockroaches.

This is my introduction about the fear factor. This introduces my class doing the fear factor.

Problem solving

Walt: find a fraction of a number


In this task I learnt how to solve these equations.
I think the most challenging one was the one that 
Adriel my partner did.

My egg friend

Walt: think about my purpose and reader by planning my recount

I used to like egg races until yesterday. Yesterday we had and egg and spoon race.

Races themselves are difficult but yesterday was the top of the top. Check this out.

Egg races are hard because, you really have to concentrate while doing it. You

will probably get the feeling the spoon is heavy because you are moving alot.

We were in buddies and we each got one egg per group. My buddy Lani drew a face on our egg. While my buddy was coming with the egg I felt extremely nervous. I was waiting at the other side of the park and I thought what if I crack it or drop it. But that wasn't the worst part.

My buddy Lani had given me the egg. While I walked through the park I was scared but I sort of succeeded. I was happy but when I was one foot away from the finish line  my egg fell onto the ground. Luckily my egg never broke or cracked.

I think that next time I will go a bit slower so I can gain control over my egg. To be honest I don’t know if I will ever do that again. If I do it again I will probably think about what I'm going to do before I do it.

The Trade Fair

Walt: use language that paint a picture in the mind of our readers.

Trade trade trade,in week 4 we had a trade fair we sold products from our different umbrella businesses .

We all had  completely different groups, but we only had six. We also have our own currency, money , bank accounts and jobs.

A trade fair is like a normal fair but, we have our own currency for the trade fair. We sold products that were hand made. In the Trade fair, we had to take money from other people who would buy our product. We had to explain what it was, say what they had to give to buy it and gain interest from our customers.

There are six business umbrellas. Our businesses are Home ware , Toys , Kitchen , Jewels and accessories ,  Custom stationary and Musical instruments. In each group we make and create products by hand or from scratch. My group is kitchen and we cooked home made pizza bases then our thing was chop, grate , slice and spread it only cost $10.00 to make and we sold them for $2.00 and made $40.00 we had to repay our loan amount which was $10.00 and the leftover money we had to equally split the amount. Unlike other groups we sold at the trade fair instead of taking orders because our product was already made.

At the trade fair for the first 15 minutes of it I sold the pizza’s we had prepared earlier. It felt good selling the product we made. Whenever a customer took a bite they said “ far out this pizza is so good “ and I felt good knowing our customers were satisfied.

I can’t wait for the market to come because in kitchen we are making a different product. Our next food item is frozen yoghurt Yum Yum Yum….

In this task we tried to write a recount about our trade fair.
We had to explain it so well that it paints a picture in the readers mind.
