Kuaka Reading

Today for reading LS2 were working on a multi modal site about Kuaka or Godwit. We started our task today. We were put into groups and I was in the R group with Juanita, Manu, Eric, Mia, Ana, Jasmine, Paige, Tai and Zeba. We were making connections without looking up stuff on the internet. We had to think of some ways that we use transport today, 30 years ago and 100 years ago. When we did this we also had to write down what kind of problems there was when we used some transport.

Godwit Comic Strip

This is my Godwit Comic Strip I have made and completed today. I used Storyboard That to make this. The task was to create A comic strip showing some interesting facts. First we learnt about godwits in inquiry, Then we did some other tasks. Then we used Storyboard That to make this Comic Strip. It was a bit hard because it got deleted so I had to do everything again. This was the first time I used Storyboard that to create a comic strip. I think that I did well my first time. I will keep using this because it is a good way to make a DLO of some sort and it is fun to play around with and use.

Yr7 Collaborative Popplet

This term our inquiry focus was on the Bartailed Godwit but in Maori it is known as the Kuaka. The Yr7's have created a popplet together that tells informations about the appearance, habitat, Migration diet and what effects Godwit/Kuaka in different ways. We also added in some images and videos to give a clear picture of the special bird.  Did you know that they have a 8-9 day non stop flight, this adds up to one whole week and one day which is a short period of time considering they are flying long distance. We look forward to learn more about the unique birds.
