Dream Jobs Tic-Tac-Toe

A Tic-Tac-Toe I chose to do today was to read an article called "dream Jobs" and then summarise what you would do if you 'did' that job! here is my summary.

A food taste tester:
-If you were a food taste tester you would have to test all types of different food: From Apples, to Toothpaste to even pet food! They say what they like about the food and what they dislike plus what they think other people will not like and like about the food. They judge each type of food on Texture, Aroma, Flavor and the taste. Also what it tastes like after around 5 minutes.
-If I was a food taste tester I would also test the food on it's appearance/presentation, (how it looks).

Professional Sleeper:
- A professional sleeper is when you go to different places in the world and sleep in different circumstances. For example: A hot place/ a cold place. In Finland somebody hired a person to sleep in around 35 different beds in different types of situations and temperatures and then write about the experience.

Video Game Tester:
- Testers get paid to play unfinished video games all day. They play the games all day and then report any problems/glitches to the game developers to fix before selling the games.

Fragrance Chemist:
- Fragrance Chemist's test different types smells. They study different scents and they develop different scents for men and women. They make up scents for perfume, soap lotions and face wash.

Last but not least...
A Nail Polish Namer:
-Nail Polish Namer's look and paint their nails and figure out what the new type of nail polish should be called. They try and come up with unique names for the new nail polish to be released by the company.

Never Say Can't Tic-Tac-Toe

Description:
Today the Tic-Tac-Toe I chose to do was watch a video called "never say can't''. After I watched the video I had to summarise the video. When Writing my summary I had to think about, what message I got out of it and does the women have a growth or fixed mindset?

Here is my summary:
Jennifer Bricker alway inspired to be a gymnast and her idol was Dominique Moceanu but the only problem was Jennifer Bricker was born without legs. They raised Jennifer like they did "normally" with all her healthy brothers, but there was one rule in their house, NEVER SAY CAN'T. Over the years she put her mind to becoming a gymnast with the one rule: NEVER SAY CAN'T. She started at seven on the trampoline practicing with her dad, and then a few years later she was competing at competitions. One day out of curiosity, when she was 16 Jennifer asked what her last name was, her mum then said that her last- name would of been Moceanu. She looked through lots of files and then she wrote Dominique a letter and found out they where sisters.  They also talked to each other and Dominique said:How did she have this attitude to persevere and overcome every obstacle that life gave her?


I think that Jennifer had a growth mindset to persevere and accomplish her goals.

Tic-Tac-Toe Image Promts

Description:
Today for one of my Tic-Tac-Toe's I decided to do image prompts. My task was to think critically about this picture and how it relates to my learning.

Here is the picture:

This picture shows unity and togetherness. Also team work by helping eachother/holding hands while doing it. It also shows caring for each by holding hands (making everyone feel safe). Every one looks like they are putting themselves in the learning pit (because that is where the "best learning happens")! They are showing perseverance and persistence.

If I was one of those people I would be very scared to dive/jump of off where they jumped of but I would never say never or, never say " I can't do that" because that is a fixed mindset and great learning happens when you have a growth mindset. I think I would do it because it would be a one in a lifetime opportunity.

How I can relate to this in my learning is by be kind to everyone because everyone is happier that way. We also show perseverance and persistence and encourage each other to do their best. It also looks like they are having a lot of fun and in my class/poutama we always like having fun.

I think that the picture is very inspiring and if you look at the picture for a long time lots of great messages come across.

Somebody-Wanted-But-So-Then Tic-Tac-Toe

Description:
For one of my Tic-Tac-Toe's this week I chose to do the Somebody-Wanted-But-So-Then Tic-Tac-Toe. What you have to do is read an article and then summarise the story that I just read. I find that it is a great way for me to summarise a story and learn which parts are important in a summary and what you don't really need to put in as I have learnt that summarising is when you focus on the "key"points/ the details of the story you just read. I read the story four flags chosen as NZ is getting/chosing a new flag.
Image:
This is the model We/I used to summarise the story

Somebody- There is no main person in the story as it is the people of NZ choosing the flag but the people who designed each of the four flag could be the main people

Wanted- New Zealand wants a new flag that we can relate to and represents our country, also a flag that doesn't look like another country's. Our goal is to try and make everyone happy with the new flag.

But- The new flag will cost over 25million dollars and not everyone will like the flag that most people chose.

So- The first referendum will be held between November the 20th and the 11th of December.

Then- In March 2016 the public will decided what flag we will have...
I personally like this flag because it has the silver fern and lots of the NZ colors, Black, White and Red. It also has the southern cross on it. It is also similar to some of our sports  teams flags like the All blacks and the Silver ferns.

Here is my summary:
Four flags have been chosen to maybe be the new NZ flag. The first referendum will be held between November the 20th and the 11th of December, and the whole project will cost around 25million. The public will be asked to rank them to decide the final option. This will determine which of the designs will run against the current flag in a second referendum in March 2016 to decide which flag New Zealand will use in the future.

Reading Portfolio Post Tic-Tac-Toe (Summarising).

Description:
In Class each week for reading we have to complete three Tic-Tac-Toe's. It is a place where we get to chose what 3 tasks we want to complete for the week. We have to complete each Tic-Tac-Toe's to a high standard. For the Tic-Tac-Toe this week I chose to do a "fake" news report.  I  had to read an article, I read the article the World's Bodypainting festival. Then we had to summarise the article like we were a real news reporter.

Images:
These are some of the photos of the show, and the artists designing their amazing art:

Big Idea:
I have learnt that when you summarise a story you pick out the "key" points of the story and write about that I also learnt that it is a good idea to use the
Who
What
When
Why
How
chart to really capture the essence of the story/summary.  Here is my news report.
     NEWS REPORT TIC-TAC-TOE

Breaking News:

In Austria between the 3rd and 5th of July the world BodyPainting competition was held. Models from 45 countries came to Austria to display their art. Here is Hanne in Austria to talk about all the amazing art she saw.

Well the artists compete in a range of activities there is the brush and sponge activity and the head piece and illusion contest. The competition was founded in 1998 by Alex Barendregt and is now a popular event that is held each year.

FeedBack and FeedForward: 

I love your News Report. I think you put all I need to know. That was very interesting. You also included the 5 W's and the H. I really love it. The thing you could work on, would be including more information about what you learnt in the Big Idea. Great Job!!!

Rosalind:)

Evaluation:

I think that I summarised the story well and in depth but as Rosalind said, I think I could have included more information in the big Idea.

Somebody-Wanted-But-So-Then

 The-Somebody-Wanted-But-So-Then chart is a good way to summarise a story with it's key points. For one of my Tic-Tac-Toe I read a story about a Bionic eye fitted to a patent who was blind.

Here is my summary: 

Somebody:
The Main character was a Man who lived in UK  and over the years couldn't see things far away or in front of him very easily and then all of a sudden became blind

Wanted:
The man wanted to be able to see again.

But:
He thought that as nobody else has been able to see again once they have gone blind, that he wouldn't be able to be cured.

So:
So one day surgeons did an operation to put in what you call a Bionic eye. You have to wear these glasses all the time. These glasses  have a sensor that sends video images to his  \brain which helps him see.


Then: 
He can see very well with his glasses on but can not see very well without his glasses so I am guessing that he will have to always where his glasses, although he doesn't now what the future holds...

Description: 
For one of my Tic-Tac-Toe this week I looked at another quote and thought about what that quote meant.
This is the quote:

 What I thought that this quote meant:

•  If you did something little it would impact somebody else and then that person would learn from you and do something nice to another person and everybody would start doing something nice and  make the world a better place.
• I also thought that if there was a big group of people and something bad happened to every single person except you, you could save one person and then once that person is fine they could help a person and then after they are fine they could help another person so that everybody is helping eachother and impacting each other making the world a better place. 

Somebody-Wanted-But-So-Then

Description:
For one of my Tic-Tac-Toe this week I chose to read a Kiwi Kids article " NZ 4th most peaceful country in the world", and then use the Somebody-Wanted-But-So-Then chart to summarize the story I just Read.

Somebody- Who is the Main character?
There is not a main character in the story as there is no humans, in the story but you could say that the "main " Character could be NZ as it is talking about how NZ is the 4th most peaceful country.

Wanted - What does the character want or what is it's main goal?
I think that the people of NZ's main goal is to be rated as the most peaceful country in the world

But  -What is the problem in the story or what is keeping the character for achieving it's his/her goal?
What is keeping NZ away from it's goal ( To be the first rated country in the world) is the index rates countries on it's level of security and level of safety.

So - What is the solution to the problem or what is the characters main goal?
Nz's main goal is to be rated the peaceful country in the world. I think we could try and achive this by doing the right thing and trying to get along with others.

Then - How does the story end?
It still hasn't ended yet, NZ is still trying to become the first most peaceful country...

Description:
For one of my tic-tac-toe's this week I chose to review this quote/picture. We had to observe and think about the meanings to the quote. We had to also write down some responses and thoughts about the picture/quote here are my thoughts.  I also wrote what I thought about the quote ( that I thought related to this quote), and what it's meanings are after the dash.

• We are born to be real not perfect.  - We can't do everything and nobody is perfect.
• In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take. - Jump to every opportunity.
• Don't judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again. - Don't judge a fish by what it can't  do.

Summarising (Tic-Tac-Toe Term 3).

Task:
For one of my tic-tac-toe's this week I decided to practice my summarising. So I decided to go on to the bitesize website and do the mini test. You had to read the piece of text and then answer the questions. (Just like an Icas test). I got nine out of ten, although I guessed a few.

The Flag I like:

For one of our Tic-Tac-Toe's I chose to chose a flag that I like and then say what I like about and why it should be our new flag. Here it is

Connections

For one of my tic-tac-toe activities I chose to listen to some different stories and chose what connection the children had made... There was No connection, text to text, text to self, and text to world. I did 30 questions and got 22 right, so I got 8 questions wrong. Here is the evidence:

Pool Party For Pups

I  read and watched an article on a pool pups party. After I had read the article it said that there was some recall question for us to answer so I answered them. If you want to read the article than the link is here: http://tinyurl.com/muskyre Here are the questions I answerd:

1. Who is the main person or group of people in this news article? The dogs are the main “thing” in this article they swam around in the pool jumping in and out of the water and splashing about. 

What was the key event from the news article?

It was an awesome pool party to raise money for a dog organization.

3. Where did this event take place?

It took part In Auckland, and it was called bark in the pool. 

It looked like all the Dogs had heaps of fun playing in the water, chasing all the other dogs, chasing balls and owners could even hop in the water and swim with the dogs to!
