I chose to draw my character on paper because to challenge myself. Our final challenge was to write a paragraph that describes our character and explains why this character is your favourite

Manga Artist

 

Our challenge today was to use our smart searching skills to create a DLO in our own words that tells us about the life of our favourite manga artist or a well known manga artist.

History of Manga

For Reading we were learning about Anime and Manga, using this topic to improve our comprehension skills. Manga, is known as a Japanese Comic. It has widely spread throughout the world, and is a very popular trend. Manga and Anime have become a big part of Japanese Culture. There are Manga and Anime such as One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball that have taken over the world. Our task was to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about the History of Manga, describing the origin and what it is?

Tech

LI: To understand what a housing joint, its purpose and how it can be used in material operations.

The Year 7s have been focusing on woodworks and crafts. We looked at what a housing joint is and its purpose. A housing joint is when one piece of wood that is either verticle or horizontal is merged with another piece of wood of the opposite rotation.

We looked at what we can build using a housing joint and was shown an example of using a housing joint in a wooden craft. After finding out information, we answered five questions on a document using what we know already. I found this tech session interesting and informative because I learnt about a housing joint and what it can be used for.

Maths

 LI: To define the terms and understand the properties of 2D shapes.

Our challenge today was to find the definitions of a 2D shape then draw the shape. I chose to use the shapes tool because it is easier and more efficient, and can also help me familiarise myself with the creating tools.

I found this task fun but challenging because there were complicated meanings to it and I summarised the definitions. One thing I learnt was that paralell lines run opposite eachother for the same amount of length.

Customizing Our Shoes

LI: To customize a shoe design.

For today, we were given the challenge of designing and customizing our own shoes.The design I chose was a blue colour scheme with the Disney logo on the sole of the shoe and two symbols (related to Disney) on the side.

I chose a blue colour scheme for my shoe design because it is the most recognizable colour when it comes to Disney. I chose a Disney themed design because I knew I was able to keep it simple as well as unique. On the sides of the shoe, I have black symbols of Mickey Mouse and the Sun pattern from Rapunzel.

I enjoyed this task because I found it a way to test my creativity and my ability to design and customize an object. One thing I enjoyed most was making the Disney logo on the sole of the shoe.

Summary Customised Shoes

 LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about.

The challenge we were set for today was to skim and scam an article about Rangi-Haira Jaxon and his passion for customizing shoes. Rangi-Haira Jaxon designs shoes and sneakers, and was inspired by Maori culture and a documentary called 'Just For Kicks'.

Something I found interesting was that his sneakers are sold world-wide, including countries like Japan, the United States, Sweden and Australia. I enjoyed this task because I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge of Rangi-Haira Jaxon and his passion for customizing shoes.
