Endangered animals mini-project

We worked in collaborative groups of three. We did a collaborative mini-project on Endangered Animals. Each person in the group was assigned a different animal to research. We had to put the information into our own words and we also had to add a video icon and link a video to the icon. Here is my group's work.

My Zoom out story made from blog comments

On the 10th April we played the Zoomout Game. This is a follow up post. The Zoomout Game is when you add an image to your blog, and start a story in the comment section. Other classmates  add to your story in the comment section. Finally we had to create a story from what people said in the comments. These were the comments in my blog. 

1. Eli the huge elephant was on his way to Tim's house for tea.
2. When Eli arrived at Tim's house, he saw that the door was broken.
3. Eli carefully crept inside to see what was happening. 
4. He saw hunters that were looking straight at him. 
5. Eli turned around and ran as fast as he could back to the wilds.



Here is my story

The Two Friends

Eli the huge elephant was on his way to Tim the rhino's house for tea.After a long walk he eventually arrived at his friend's seaside home, but the door was broken! Eli looked around, but he could not see anyone so he crept quietly inside  to see if his friend was inside. He walked into the kitchen, through the lounge and then the TV room. In that room there was a view of Tim's bedroom. He saw a man and then three more. He peered around to see if he could see his friend. Then he saw him in the corner of the room. Eli realized what was happening! The hunters where getting ready to cut off his horn!

Eli knew that he had to  save his poor friend. He thought about going back home to tell his herd, but his home was almost 2 hours away and by then his friend would be dead. In desperation  he ran into the woods to see if he could see anyone that could help. After 15 minutes he saw Leo the Puma. Every in the wild knows that Pumas are not very smart creatures. Leo came to him. Eli told him his story. Leo listened to him and then he said "I am very hungry why don't l eat you now." Eli replied saying "If you eat me then you get a meal, but if you eat all the hunters you 4 meals." That interested Leo.

Leo agreed. They set out. When they got to the house Leo caught the hunters and ate them.Eli freed his friend and all three had tea after all.

Blogging challenge: Global issues

This week we learned about Global Problems. We opened two websites to do our research:
http://www.kidsgoglobal.net/the-issues 
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1AWEcGu1IfVTReSjrinmYPcU_C91Zyrqa-SRBsDjHjP4/edit#slide=id.p
We each chose a different problem and researched it. We added information in two headings:
a) What is the problem
b) What can be done about it.
Our collaborative slideshow follows.
