Skins Profile

LI.to describe my favourite online gaming character. 

In this activity I created my own character called Poised. In the writing section I have wrote what she looks like and why shes wearing that, and her reactive skill to describe my character. I really enjoyed doing this activity because I was able to customize my own gaming character. 

Manga Artist

LI: To read for meaning and understanding

Our challenge today was to use our smart searching skills to create a DLO in our own words that tells us about the life of our favourite manga artist or a well known manga artist.

A fact I found interesting was just winning a comic contest in freshman year led to him having his stories being broadcasted. 

Advertising

LI.to use advertising language to persuade others to think like you. 

In this activity my partner (Te Raumati) and I created an advertisment to explain which console or device was best to play online games. To create this DLO we looked at different websites to get more information and to find the best ways to describe the model. I enjoyed doing this activity because I was able to understand more about gaming technology from the websites that I have come across to. 

6 Sentence Story

LI: Use 6 sentences to set up the structure of a narrative 

To help us put our learning this week together we were asked to write a 6 sentence story. This story will be used as the text in our manga comic DLO.

Manga Comic

LI: To illustrate our writing in the style of anime/manga
Our challenge today was to turn the events in our 6 sentence stories into a manga comic strip. This activity was really fun because I was able to be creative by designing my own comic.

Cinquain Poem

LI: To write a cinquain poem to describe an anime characte

This week we have been exploring the world of anime and manga. Our challenge today was to write a cinquain poem to help us strengthen our connections to description that describes our favourite anime/manga character. A cinquain poem has 5 lines. Each line has a different purpose. Line 1 is a noun which is a name. Line 2 has 2 adjectives taht describe the noun. Line 3 has 3 verbs that end in ‘ing’ and describe the actions. Line 4 is a noun phrase which is a group of words (not a sentence) that go together to describe the noun. Line 5 is a synonym which is a word with a similar meaning to the noun. 

Summary Customised Shoes

LI.to explain in fewer words what the text is about. 

The challenge for today was to read an article about Rangi-Haira Jaxon for his passion of customizing sneakers. For Rangi-Haira Jaxon to do this he was inspired by Just For Kicks as they were designing shoes, and because he had a desire of art and sneakers. 

Something I found interesting was how Rangi-Haira Jaxon can design them and sell them worldwide as it can allow people to buy from him and be reconized on internet.
