SLJ Step it up: Spread the word

Today, I commented on my classmates blog post and chose my five favourite ones.

First, I chose the people I will comment on which were Jebrael, Kaysorn, O'Ninesha, Matheus and Densyn.

Next, I made sure to: include a greeting, compliment, positive feedback, be thoughtful, be helpful, make a connection, ask a question, add more information. 

Lastly, I made sure to make smart decisions, share information, make sure my comment makes sense, check my spellings and punctuations.

From this task I learnt how to make quality blog comments.

I liked this activity because I got to learn and share information and give positive advise to people.

SLJ Kick Start: Art Coloring Book

Today I colored a picture from the Art Coloring Book NASA edition.

First, I chose the picture that I colored. My picture is about a space shuttle that is being launched.

Next, I read some intersting facts about NASA and the space shuttle Atlantis launched for the STS-135 Mission.

Some intersting facts that I learnt were that ISS means the International Space Station.

The ISS design started in 1984. The ISS travels at 5 miles per second. 

I learnt that the International Space Station (ISS) is a human space flight program which is an amazing design made by an international partnership of NASA together with the European, Japanese, Canadian and Russian Space Agencies.

SLJ Step it up: Poetry Slam Tahi

Today, I learnt more about poetry slam performance in Summer Learning Journey Task.

A poetry slam performance is poetry that combines performance, writing, competition, and audience participation.

First, I watched some videos of people performing poetry slam.

Next, I wrote down some ideas about what I think makes a good performance.

A good performance is when the poem has rhyming words, poet is confident, their voive has different pitches and they include action by moving their body.

I learnt how to be good performer while telling my poem to the audience.

I liked doing this task because I got to learn about stuff about poetry slam that I didn't know about. 

SLJ Kick Start: Poetry Slam Tahi

Today, I completed a task called 'Poetry Slam' from Summer Learning Journey. 

First, I thought of some Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives and Adverbs. Then, I wrote some synonyms of the words I thought of. 

A noun is a word that is a person, place, animal or thing. An example is table.

A verb is a word that shows action. An example is running.

An adjective is a word that describes a noun. An example is sweet.

An adverb is a word that decribed verb. An example is slowly.

Second, I embedded the picture of the words that I thought of. This was written on the second slide. 

Lastly, I found some pictures of things I like doing in summer and embedded it on my third slide.

I enjoyed this task because I got to think about my memories in summer.

Commenting

Today, I commented on my classmate, Riley's Summer Learning Journey blog post.

I commented on his blog post that I have done the same task as well and that I enjoyed it.

The feedback I gave to him was to talk about the first slide he made. This will help the readers to understand more about the topic. 

 I got to give an advice to Riley that I think it was good advice but I think I should give more specific advise  .
