My Inquiry: Blogging 101



Topic:  What I want to learn about.

What worked?
I didn't know much about blogging but I knew that we would need to learn about it more because we would be blogging lots in school.  That's why I chose this as my inquiry project.  Now, I feel like I know more about why we blog and how we blog.  I also know how to leave a digital footprint so others can visit my blog site.

What I found difficult?
I found it really hard to summarise all the information into notes.  It took me a long time.  I especially found summarising slide 5 difficult.  I think it was difficult because it was hard to remember sentence starters that we use to show the 5 key points.  I found it hard to remember the difference between being thoughtful and helpful in a post.

Where to next?
I'd really like to create my own game.  I learnt a lot from watching Jordan and Anthony making a game.  I'd like to give that a go.

Mr.Wonka and his sailboat

WALT: To improve our writing through films.
SC: I will include a setting, characters, a problem, a resolution and sequence of events within my story.

Once upon a time there lived a very old man called Mr wonka. He loved  flying his huge sail boat amongst the clouds.  The sun was starting to set and it was getting late.


All of a sudden there was a crack. Mr.Wonka’s  engine fractured apart splitting away from the stern of his sailboat. He wasn’t surprised by that.  The engine needed to be replaced ages ago.  It was then that Mr wonka realised that he was stranded.


There was a big  thump!  When Mr. Wonka looked under his sailboat he noticed that there was a huge bale of green flying turtles around him. “Holy moly” screamed Mr. Wonka.  Bang, Bang, Bang.


“Help! Help!” The turtles were attacking his sailboat.  They were flying around and coming at him fast.  Mr. Wonka’s sailboat was going to collapse at any minute.  He needed to find a way off his sailboat fast and quick.  Holding his breath he jumped overboard onto a turtle.


Thump!  Mr. Wonka landed hard on the turtle. “Ooh that hurt a lot!” Looking around he took in the view.  It was beautiful and breathtaking.  Sadly though, he saw his sailboat fall to the ground.  I don’t think the turtles liked sharing the sky with Mr.Wonka and his sailboat.
