Writing talent development

Today I did writing talent development. We used Garageband and did our own version of the Three Little Pigs. Katie showed us how to change the sound of your voice, how to add in sound effects, and how to play background music.  The vocals sounded really funny, especially the mouse voice.

Week 3 of Enrich

Today I did the debating workshop. Debating is like going to court. We did an activity on debating. I was on the bad side(on the side explaining about why humans are bad). The other side was explaining why humans are good. I was the second person to speak. I said humans are bad because we cut down the trees and if we cut down all of the trees we won't be able to breathe because the trees make the air. After the workshop we got our page signed off.

Interactions and Scamper

Today I had to do two "Picks", interactions and scamper. I did interactions first. My interaction was a ball hitting someones face. I made the ball with three popsicle sticks and a red bit of lego. I sellotaped it together. The person was made out of popsicle sticks and straws. I did my scamper pick with Nathan. We used a cup. We had heaps of different ideas of how to change it - like an ice cream cone.

Hi Jake.
Your first day back for Term 3 was great.  You were full of energy and ideas during our first writing session for Talent Development.  It was great to see you using your time wisely to compare and contrast two fairy tales.  You looked at all the elements and answered the questions with thought.  I'm please you are excited about this topic - I think it is going to be challenging, but at the same time lots of fun.  I'm pleased to see 2 workshops ticked off your Must Do sheet already!  You seemed to enjoy the drama session today and were fully involved in all the activities.  Well done Jake.
Katie.

Writing talent development

Today we got to choose what we wanted to do for talent development. The choices were art, writing and documentary. I chose writing because as soon as Alana said the choice a creative story popped in my head so I felt like I had to choose writing. My friend Max chose writing too. Katie is teaching the writing talent development group. We had a look at some of the movie clips from the competition we were going to be competing in for story telling. We had to do a task on two narratives. I did The three little pigs and Little red riding hood. I can't wait to do it next week.
