9T Engilish

 My reflection on everything I have learned this year in english.

About me: this was the first thing we did in English this year. Wee had to write about ourselves talking about our siblings, hobbies and more. We also had to talk about who we admire and of course I wrote about my mum and dad. 

Speeches: this year we had to write a speech. This speech had to be 2 minutes but a lot of us had ones that went over and under the time limit which was fine. We had three topics to chose from school/community problem, someone we admire and determination crates success and I went with someone i admire which was my papa Tk Brown .

Reading responses: it is now term 2 and we have moved on to reading responses we did a novel study, the book we did it about was see ya Simon. Simon a boy who is unable to do things normal human beings can do. That is a little brief of who Simon is. We also did a comic response, we picked one comic and wrote about it, like the main characters and things like that. Our final response was a short story which I don't remember much about.

Film study: In term 3 we had to learn about films and the different ways directors film/shot there shots in movies. We also had to learn why they use that specific shot and how the director wanted the audience to see them as. After learning about all these shots we watched a movie and had to answer these questions about the movie like: what shots did they use, what the director wanted us to see and how the shot works.

Creative writing: term 4 brought the last task of 9T English, creative writing. This term we have been learning about what verbs, adjectives and all those things .We wrote creative sentences using verbs and adjectives etc, and whaea Annette had to look and make sure we had all the right things. 

Extra: throughout the year we did different small warm ups such as word brick. For word brick we had to pick one word from a bunch of words and write the definition and a sentence using that specific word. Another little activity we did was SSR ( Silent sustained reading. ) This is were we read short little story's and answer the questions. We finally finished those SSR's today.

That is everything I have learnt and done in 9T english 2021.

Jungle scene writing

 One busy morning on a nice tragic day, when i wanted to run away and be free, i came upon a pleasing jungle with native trees and beautiful stairs along the way. I rusted ford as i could feel my hair swing throw the wind. The stairs felt like a bumpy snake. It had  this green ferns and dangling Pisces of vines. It was peaceful and quite, beside the little insects and birds chirping around. It was a tragic time, that i had to leave in the middle of such a nice moment.

Balaclava story

 In English we were working on the Balaclava story. The story was about this boy that really wanted to be in the balaclava gang, a balaclava is a ski hat or a hat.Some of the things that was interesting was when he was forcing him self to steal a balaclava, I was shocked. He was so desperate to have one and wanted to be in the gang, and since he wasn't in the gang his friends started ignoring him.

After he stole it and heard that someone's balaclava was missing he started felling guilty. After that his mum bought him his own balaclava, so he felt even more guilty and started regretting what he did.

 After that i created a work art and put in some of the key words that i found in the story.

SEE YA SIMON

For the past weeks we have been working on a scene from the book see ya Simon and we had to animate by using scratch , I did a scene where he went to go play soccer. Here is a scene I recreated in the book see ya Simon. To play it press the green flag then press the space bar when it say " Over here"
