HW W5 – Advertisement

For this week’s homework (literacy section) we had to recreate a well know brands advertisement. We also had to include a text or phrase that would persuade people to buy the brand. I decided to do mine on KFC. I’m really happy with how it turned out and it was also fun to recreate. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Literacy – Fortnite Debate

Yesterday for literacy we did a debate but we got to choose which one we wanted to do. I chose fortnite, should fortnite be banned? Here is my writing/reasons why fortnite should be banned. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

 

  • Fortnite is an additive online game. Kids are addicted and play for many hours. They should do something more productive and focus on something else. 
  • Gaming/Fortnite can cause mental health issues, ADHD, social anxiety, gaming disorder and depression. They should be talking and playing with friends outside in real life instead of talking and playing with strangers online. 
  • It can be dangerous talking with strangers online, especially for children under the age of 12. Kids will be exposed to inappropriate language and things (like images, videos, etc). 
  • Fortnite is gabling in a certain way. Kids use their parent’s credit cards to buy things. To conclude this, these are my reasons why Fortnite should be banned and why kids under the age of 12 shouldn’t be allowed to play.

Literacy – Persuasive Advertisement

Yesterday for literacy we made a start on persuasive writing. Before we did that we made adds that would persuade people to buy it. We could choose any item and made an add out of it. I chose a hand sanitizer. I will share my short piece of writing later in the week. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

HW WK2 – Literacy 6 Sentence Story

 Task Description: This week’s homework included a literacy task. In this literacy task we had to create a six sentence story based on an image that was given to us. The image had two kids sitting on the edge/wing of the plane. Here is my story. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Writing: Siblings Lizzy and Luke were on vacation with their parents. This was a vacation trip for them, but for their mum it was a business trip. Their parents were quite wealthy so they paid first class for all of them. During the flight Lizzy and Luke were told to say put and don’t be disruptive. They did the complete opposite and snuck out of the plane. As they walked on the wing of the plane, a gust of wind blew them off.

Literacy – Descriptive Writing Sour Lolly

Task Description: Today for literacy we did a fun taste test game. We were partners and my one was Angelica. We were given local deliquesces that our teacher said was yum but it was sour and yuck. This was fun. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Writing: As it dropped in my hand, the texture of the thing was strange. The thing was a ball, a sphere. It was hard and crumbs on the outside of it. It smelt like a granola bar but mostly like nothing. Once the ball touched my mouth I felt something tingly and it felt very weird. It was so sour and tingly. At the same time it was crazy sweet. I bit on it straight away and it cracked easily. Once it cracked in my mouth I felt an explosion of sourness.

Information Report – Honduras

Task Description: Hello, welcome back to my blog/welcome to my blog! This is a FIOP task. In literacy we learnt how to write an information report. Below is my information report on Honduras. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Honduras, a country located in Central America. Honduras has a population of nine point five seven people and the capital city is Tegucigalpa. Honduras is slightly larger than the state of Tennessee and has heaps of mountains.Honduras got its nickname, the Banana Republic, from political science. The term banana republic describes a politically unstable country with a careful management and financial or other support. Their major export was bananas.

Around 5000 BC construction began in Honduras, in what would be Copan (was built by Uaxaclajuun Ub’aah K’awiil and K’ak’ Yipyaj Chan K’awiil), the key city maya civilization. Kings would reign it for centuries and skilled arctics and sculptor would call it home. Honduras broke away from Mexico in 1823, Honduras finally became completely independent in 1839.

The Hondurans (also known as the people of Honduras) are a mixed race, Spanish, also mainly from Andalusians, Galicians, and more. The traditional clothing in Honduras is made handmade, mostly from white fabric and sowed with colorful designs. Women wear sleeveless dress, usually with a cloth worn around their waist like a belt, while men wear white pants and a white shirt, also sowed with colorful designs.

Honduras is home to over 700 species of birds. The Scarlet Macaw (Aro Macao) is Honduras’s national bird.The most popular sport in Honduras is football. Honduras has national football team that represents Honduras in men’s international football. Honduras had a flag, the flag consists of five stars in the middle rectangle. The middle rectangle is white, the other two are blue.

Free Writing – Tightrope

“Wow, this view is beautiful,” Noah said. Allison agreed. They both gazed at the sun shining big and bright and the clouds fogging everywhere. There was also this big mountain across in the background. Noah was a photographer, taking photos of Allison, Allison was a professional tightrope walker. Allison was soon going to retire from tightrope walking and wanted to capture this last beautiful moment. 

This moment made Allison tear up, just before putting her foot on the rope. She was so emotional that she couldn’t walk so she removed her foot from the rope. She tried to explain to the photographer about her feelings but she couldn’t even talk. The photographer somehow understood her and gave her some time. She was glad she could have a break but curious of how Noah knew. 

All she could really think about is how this is her last time tightroping and how much time she is wasting with the photographer. Thinking that the photographer was inpatient just stood there and gazed at the sunrise. She was confused but wanted to get herself back on her feet. She quickly wiped her tears and began to walk. 

She felt quite steady as she took quite a few steps onto the tightrope. She continued to walk towards the other side, again she started to tear up and get emotional. As she cried she lost her balance and tried to gain it back again. She wobbled and shook but then finally gained it. She froze and wondered if Noah was there to see or even help. As she turned her head she slipped off the rope. 

Allison screamed off the top of her lungs “NOAH HELP!”. She tried to grab hold of the rope but she was too late. Noah was too late. Down, down, and down she went. Her screaming was an echo down the cliff. The fall was so long she wondered if it would end. Eventually it did and thought she was DEAD!

She opened her eyes and skipped around the area yelling “I’M ALIVE, I’M ALIVE!”. But she then froze and thought to herself, if I slipped  off the rope, where am I? She searched and pondered the place. There was this soft ground with luminescent and big trees with crystals hanging from it. The mysterious place was quite beautiful but not where she was supposed to be. No one was there to be seen but she wasn’t totally sure. Again she thought to herself, how will I get out of here? Will this be home? 

TASK DESCRIPTION: Hello, welcome back to my blog/welcome to my blog! This was my writing task for the week. This task was a free writing activity. I wrote about a tightrope walker who is soon retiring. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.
