Storyboard about Goeff Barnett

This week LS2 have been completing the city of sales challenges. The completed tasks that were set to complete were 5. For one of the activities, we were to research a kiwi who invented something. Today Mele, Sky, Hajera, Fui, and, I collaboratively worked together to find information about our kiwi inventor. As a group, we all agreed to create a storyboard about a kiwi called Geoff Barnett who invented a ride called the cycling monorail. It was called the cycling monorail because it was exactly like the skyline, but with someone who cycles a bike throughout the whole ride. We decided to create a storyboard about this invention by using storyboard that. Our story was about Geoff Barnett who went to a circus and tried out new rides, but then he thought about creating his own ride so that kids could be more active, besides sitting on a seat. Above shows the storyboard that we created and an image of Geoff Barnett's invention.

In the learning of this activity, we learned the art started. It started in the early 19 century Queen Victoria reigned over England. In this DLO I explain what the art of steampunk actually is and I also showed the image an image that I drew that had living based product that is added with parts machinery.

My time line through Reading

Today PBS is having their very own book week. For this special event, we had a task to remember the books that we have liked during the time of our lives and make a DLO showing the history of books that we have liked and way we liked them. In this task, I remembered six books that I have read from the time I was 5 years old to the now where I am 13 years old. I really enjoyed this activity because I got to go through memories and all these books that I have read have helped with learning new words and help with using my imagination.
