Positive Behaviour – PB4L

LI: To explore the positive behaviour’s and expectations

For this task I had to write the expected expectations and the importance of positive behaviour. It is very important class expectations because without them there could be fights and arguements. It is also like the outside world, if there was no laws there would be so much violence between groups of people and it would be risk to even stay in your house as someone would break in

Expected Expectations when we’re in class.

  • Be quiet when the teacher is talking
  • walk around the class rather than running
  • Stay on task rather than doing something that is not related to work 
  • Put up your hand up rather than shouting out 
  • Be respectful to student and teachers

Sentence Structure – Rags To Riches

LI: To explore sentence structure

For this activity we played a game called rags to riches and is about our knowledge of simple compound and complex sentences. From this challenge I can see I have a clear understanding of simple compound and complex sentences I now need to focus on compound sentences and it has in it.

Simple sentences has one independant clause that must contain a noun and verb e.g: The cat sat on the mat.

Compound sentences are two independent clauses seperated by an conjunction (FANBOYS) e.g The cat sat on the mat and the dog lay in front of the fire.

Complex sentences has two independent clauses and one or more dependant clauses. e.g: The cat sat on the mat because it was tired.

The highest amount I got was 64,00 thousand whilst others got to 1 million. I enjoyed this task because I got to play a game about my knowledge in simple compound and complex sentences.

Sentence Sturctures

LI: To explore sentence structure.

For this task we wrote the sentence structure with another class, simple sentences and compound sentences. Simple sentences are sentences with verbs and nouns for example:  The cat sat on the mat.  The tiger was roaring at the zookeepers. The dog lay in front of the fireplace.

In every sentence you start with a capital and end with a full stop. 

A compound sentence is two simple sentences and a fanboy, For example:  The butterfly flew into the cats mouth and the grasshopper jumped but camouflaged on the plant In every sentence you start with a capital and end with a full stop. 

I enjoyed this task because I got to learn about the sentence structures.

Moment In Time Planner – Polar Bear

LI: To use the senses in our poem

We wrote a poem with senses about a polar bear an a man in a box that a polar bear that trys to scratch its way in but fails, I wrote:

I heard the paws of the pale brute land on top of the weak plastic shield, rumbling the cage trying to break their way into the fresh meat hiding inside.

I saw the menacing black dots appearing to be creeping towards me, I gazed upon the pale entity through my brittle cage as it scratched and rammed its huge torso into the only thing that stood between me and certain death.

I felt vulnerable for the first time as I tried to avoid the frigid gaze of the beast, not feeling initially troubled at this moment, but love at first site does not apply at these abominable white cold lands.

I wondered if the brutal beast would come upon another human, stalking it throughout the cold and misty landscape, its black void like eyes quietly contemplating his next meal.

I enjoyed this task because

Caring For My Chromebook

LI: to care for our chromebook’s

This task is about taking care chromebooks, taking care of our chromebook’s is important because we mostly use digital work taking care of chromebook helps us learn more research on things we don’t know about.
