In my English class, we have been doing a research project based on famous Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
If you grew up watching the TV show 'The Ninja Turtles' you may recognize these names, the author of the Ninja Turtles thought that the quirky names would suit the characters and the concept.
So in this slideshow, I will be researching the upbringing, talents, and interesting facts about each of these supreme Renaissance artists.
Enjoy!
Looking back at the planning we did at the start, I think I, as well as my group, were all willing and already dedicated to putting in the hard work for our project.
We all did well in our roles and used our skills to the best. We planned out our interviews and information well.
Making and setting up interviews with electricians ahead of time was a great help and it gave us an extra step forward before we had even started creating our final project board.
Having had the experience of this project, if I were planning another project I
would've kept up with our weekly learning reviews, therefore I could later review how I could've changed any bad habits during our learning or worked on any flaws I had in my group.
1. What have you achieved/learned/found out since your last post?
I have achieved building confidence while working in a group, We have achieved lots of work on our checklist, & we achieved working actively and focusing as a group.
We have learned a lot of new information and also many facts on our project, We learned how to make more formal questions rather than casual questions for the people we are interviewing, and we learned how to manage our time well so we can finish everything within a certain amount of time.
We found out that gas from the boiler room is getting phased out every day, Brent O'Hagen believes heat pumps are very efficient, Heat pumps are efficient in the way that they are a lot easier to install rather than radiators, and also that they heat up alot more swiftly.
2. How effectively have you used your time this week?
During this week we used our time very effectively, We booked and completed an interview with Brent O'Hagen, We made multiple vlog videos and I rigorously edited them, and we completed our Project Proposal.
3. How have you contributed to your group’s progress?
As for myself I have contributed to the progress by completing all the recordings and editing for our vlogs, aswell as my individual Project Proposal.
4. Glows: something that is going well in your project:
Completing tasks quickly, Working well as a team and sharing our ideas without feeling uncomfortable.
5. Grows: Something you need to work on:
Letting people know what work I'm focusing on rather that doing my own thing suddenly.
6. Where could you get help with this?
Communicating with my group about how I feel.
7. What are the next steps for your project?
The next steps and to complete our interview with Ian McMillan, start our final project presentation & practise our presenting skills.
Kia Ora everyone!
This term we have started a year 10 project, The theme is “Power to the People” and we have been learning about electricity, sustainability, and energy use and conservation in your Science classes. This project will help us develop collaboration skills, research skills, and project management in your Social Sciences classes while using your English communication skills to reflect, share, and present your final project.
Me and a few of my friends have become a group for this project.
Jessica, Jordan, Jeana, Eunacee & Winter, We are all collaborating on this project together.
We are assigned roles for each week we plan and practice our presentation. Currently, I am the tech manager, My importance is to make sure all the devices we use are charged or working and to blog/vlog our learning reflections and the progress we make.
I'll make sure to keep everyone updated on how we go with this project!
Thank you.
Hi everyone! Today my class and Megan's class got the privilege to launch rockets!! My team was called "BREAD" and the people in my group were Bijou, Nevaeh, Danielle, Chloe, Me and Zoe. Sadly Zoe wasnt here to launch the rockets with us 🥺. My rocket had 11 fins, which was pretty cool since most people had 5 at the most. We also wrote all our names on the bottle.
The teacher forgot to record our first rocket launching and it went super high but the one she did record didn't go as high 🙁 I hope you like the video below.
So lately in class, we have been learning about wind, Wind turbines are a part of what we are learning. We learned this so we can all understand how wind works and so we have insight on the wind! A wind turbine is a fancier version of a windmill! They catch the energy in the air to make electricity. Good quality wind turbines last 20 years, although that can be extended to 25 years.
Wind turbines stop spinning when the wind stops, So they are powered by wind and not powered by electrical wires or anything to do with electricity.
