Week 5 Reading Work

Kia Ora everyone, welcome back again for my another blog post so for today's blog I will be talking about my last activity work. This week activity is kinda harder because I have to answer some questions and then create a task, and every questions there's a related task that I have to do in different website. It was different because week 3 and 4 reading task are not like this, I just have to pick one journal story and one activity. And this time I used the that I have read for the past week, it was called Animorphs The Visitors and the authors of this book is K.A. AppleGate or Katherine Alice Applegate.

This book is about a group of friends and their names are Jake, Marco, Cassie, Tobias and her Rachel. All of them have the powers of morphing into different types of animals, all of them are heroes because they were trying to save the world by the Yeerks their enemies. Yeerks are like slugs but don't have ears, mouth, eyes etc. They are here to take control of human being, that's why all of them are trying to play safe because if the Yeerks find out where they lived they will be in trouble. And it will be the end like the Yeerks might kill them or worse. I really like this and if I could rate this 5/5 I will give it a full five because first the front of the book was really interesting the way they make it make it more mysteries, second the title of the book was really unique well first I didn’t even know why it was called Animorphs and it was my first time seeing the front like that. Third, the blurb was really creepy and cool at the same time the way the author wrote it gave me goosebumps because it included some interesting questions that made me want to read until the end non stop. Fourth when I started reading some chapters I saw that the group of friends were morphing into some kind of birds and for me I found it really cool, also the way they are helping each other just to get away from those hunters. And fifth the last chapter was really scary well let say that they almost got caught by their enemies a.k.a the Visser Three and the Yeerks but that didn’t stop them because they always look after each other also all of them are thinking about her or his friend situation and not about their self. That’s why I ranked this book 5 because of the reasons and also I love how the author includes a lot of new words that make me want to research so I can know it.

Let's go back to the activities, at the first slide it asked me to retell the main events/ ideas in my own words and then use draw.io to make a flowchart that shows the key events in chronological order. It was my first time using this but I have fun at first I don't understand how to use it, but lucky that there's some video in youtube that I can watched. For the second activity is if you ask one of the characters three question, what would it be and why?
Then I have to create a biteable video that shows I was asking the questions I have written . I like using this one but what I hate the most is it take so long to load, so I have to wait for 2 minutes and when it's done I would put it on the slide.

And for the third activity it asked me when and where the story takes place?, and when I finish doing that I have to use google maps and screencastify it to create a video showing where my story take place. For me I used Texas as my example because the has lived there so I thought why not use Texas as my example, I had fun playing with google maps and then recording it. I hate recording myself I don't know why, but I just hate it. But luckily I've finished this in no time.

For the last activity I have to choose 25 interesting words from the book, and then create a word art. I had fun editing this and choosing some shaped and exploring it. This one is seriously really easy to do and to use, that's why out of those activity this one is the best.

By the way guys here is the slide and the activities I've done.


          

Interpreting Graphs

Kia Ora everyone, welcome back to my blog so for today's blog I will be sharing you my last activity for our maths. Because at Monday we are no longer doing online class, but we are now allowed to go back to school. So this week maths work was kinda easy and also fun to do, because it was all about Interpreting Graphs. It include a lot of different graphs like Line graphs, Steam and Leaf, Dot Plot graphs and etc. I had fun doing the line graphs and Steam and Leaf one,and of course  answering the question.

There's a site where we can see the questions some of them only ask 3 questions, and some of them ask 7 questions. It's the same thing like what we did in making end meets, we have to put our answer into the slide. To be honest some of the questions are kinda confusing so I have to compute it, and make sure that my answer is right. It only took me an 1 hour to do this because add some equation how I get the answer, so that it will make it easier  to understand it. Let me tell you about the different questions and what the graphs talk about.

Stem and leaf: This one talked about the students measuring their pulse for 1 minute, and record recording their finding by using steam and leaf graphs. Well your pulse rate is the number of times your heart beats in one minute. The questions are about "What is the lowest pulse rate in the class?", also "What is the fastest pulse rate in the class?". Those are the questions that I have to answer. 

Line Graphs : This one talked about numbers of dollars that Sam had in his savings account, from January 1997 to April 1999. The questions are about "How many dollars did Sam have in his account in December 1997?", also "Which months in 1990 did he have $ 80 in his bank account?". This one had 4 fun questions to answer. 

Dot Plot Graphs: This graphs talked about the pupils who read book over a week. Well let me tell you something some of her pupils don't read books and someone read over 5 books!. And the questions asked altogether, how many pupils are there in room 6?, also what was the most common number of book read?. It only have 5 questions. 

Line Graphs : It talked about a caretaker of he school who measured the temperature of the water in the swimming pool, over 14 days. The graphs include the title and number of the water temperature, and of course the questions asked about what was the temperature on Day Number 3? On which day did the pool have the highest temperature?. It also have 5 questions like the dot plot graphs. 

Pie Graphs: The pie graphs shows how Donna spent her $ 10 fr Christmas presents. This one is different from the other graphs because it give you some choices, not like the other graphs. Also this one confused me a lot when I was reading it, but luckily I understand it after a minute have past. The question are like " How much did she spend on her brother Jim?" and " How much did she spend on Sarah?". 

Data Tables: The charts shows the temperature readings made at the different times on that four days. Answering the questions are kinda easy but some of them are not, this table include the time, days and temperature.Questions asked " What day was it hotter at midday?" and " What day and time was the hottest temperature recorded?". It have 7 questions for me to answer.  

Bar Graphs: The graph include or shows the number of hours of sunshine for the whole week, and it start at November 24 - November 30. The questions asked which day has the greatest number and how many hours of sunshine were there on Monday?. It also have 3 cool questions. 

Pictographs: This pictogram shows the different fireworks sold at the Park Avenue store. There are keys like this @ it means ten dollars, and this & it equals to five dollars. Questions are " How much was spent on Volcanoes?" " Which two kinds of fireworks had the same amount spent on them?". It also have 5 questions that is kinda confusing. 

I had fun doing this activity, and by the way here is my slide.
