Inquiry

In term 4 all of the seniors have been doing inquiry. I decided to do graduation with Troy. In graduation I am creating the hats. I have to make 54 hats I have finished the top of the hats, but now I have to plat the string. Sadly I am leaving this year.

I think that the year 5's and 4's that were in the graduation group that helped with the hats could help with the hats in next years graduation. I did the hats last year so I knew what to do, so I helped with the people that were doing it this year.

In the hats group we did the same thing as last year but we changed a bit on the top of the hats. Last year we got the year 6's to decorate the top of there hats but when they graduated they threw the hats away. So we are decorating the hats with there name and at the top it say class of 2015.

11/12/15 Week 9

What have you accomplished in the past thew weeks? 
I have accomplished making the top of the hats and the round part of the hats. Now I am helping out with the decorations group.

What was the most challenging part in the graduation group?
The most challenging thing for me was creating the top part of the hats because no one was helping me. But when I was away for the morning most of the hats were done and I was able to finish them off in the next two weeks we had left.

What was your proudest moment in your inquiry?
My most proudest moment was finishing the hats in time yesterday because yesterday was the last inquiry day for the seniors. Now the decorations group is the most important because we will be hanging them up in boys high on Sunday ready for Monday which is graduation day.  

Awesome Poetic Writng

Description:

As you know we have been doing poetry in Troys writing group. Last week we were doing Cinquains. We are putting the two poems that we wrote into our yearbook for the end of the year graduation for the year six's (Me). We put it in a slide first. Here are our wonderful poems. Can you guess which ones are the Cinquains and the which ones are the Free Verse.

About Cinquains:

Cinquains are a type of poetry when you don't have to rhyme, they have 2 syllables on the first line then 4 syllables on the second line, then 6 syllables, then 8 syllables and then back to 2 syllables. They look like a Christmas tree.

About Free Verse:

Free verse poetry is when there is no rules what so ever, it doesn't have to rhyme. We could write about any experience we had. So can you guess what I wrote about.

Big Idea:

Feedback/Feedforward:
Taylor i think that you have done very well with your Cinquains and free verses but you need to improve on Making your poetry more grasping and exiting. #Olivia

Evaluation:
I think I have done a good job on my Free Verse poetry because I made twelve of them in my spare writing time because it is too easy for me. But when we were doing the Cinquains I had trouble with coming up with words to put in my poem.
