Term 4 STEAM: Keynote

My Keynote Reflection

What did I learn during this term on keynote?

This term I learnt many things on keynote. I learned how to animate my shapes, group, and take apart. I learned how to texture our writing with the photo’s we took from books and also transitioning my slides.

What is in my Keynote?

My Keynote is about the water cycle and Kaitiakitanga since in term 3 my class learned about it. It contains 10 slides with a title slide 5 slides of textured writing with a small paragraph below explaining what it’s about, a little animation for my robot turning the light off, and a finishing slide talking about how we can be Kaitiakitanga.

What is something I could do better next time?

I could do better next time by trying to add more shapes and animations. I could try to not stutter while recording and be more confident with what I wrote. I think I should next time try to make the transition move on time instead of too late or too early.

Here is my Presentation!

 

WEEK 5: Diamanté poem

A diamanté poem uses 7 lines. This poem is arranged as a diamond. The first line of the poem is a noun, the second line of the poem has 2 adjectives, the third line has 3 verbs, the fourth line has 4 nouns, the fifth line has 3 verbs, the sixth line is made of 2 adjectives, and the seventh line is made of one noun which is can be an antonym of synonym of the topic word.

Here is a Diamanté poem I made:

Affectation, Sweetheart, Loathing, Hatred

Dislike, Dispise, Shun

WEEK 3: Limerick poetry

A limerick poem always has five lines. In a limerick poem, the first, second and fifth line have to rhyme with each other (rhyming examples, bright, night, light). Line three and four should rhyme with each other but should not rhyme with line one, two and five (knit, sit). The arrangement of a limerick poem should be AABBA. A limerick poem line does not have to be a full sentence but instead could be an independent clause or a dependent clause. The rhythm is a very bouncy and fun and the poem it self can be silly. Here is an example of a limerick poem,

There once was a man named Vladimir Putin,                                                                                          Who had a huge, unforgettable sin,                                                                                                                   He liked to loot Kim Jong un                                                                                                                                            Who worked as a former church nun,                                                                                                               But Kim Jong un ended up being Putins secret twin.

WEEK 2: Acrostic poetry

Acrostic poem have been around longer than you would imagine. They have been around for centuries. Ancient Greece was where the first examples of acrostics came from. There are many types of Acrostic poems such as Telestich, Mesostic, Abecedarian, or Double Acrostic. Acrostic poetry have at least one of these features. Vertical word or phrase, thematic connection, creative language. Rhyming is optional but if you do rhyme it would give rhythm and effect. Arranging your acrostic poem in shape is also optional.

Here is an of a rhyming and non rhyming acrostic poem that I have created about fireworks

Non rhyming:

Flashing colour illuminate the sky                                                                                                                       Igniting the fireworks                                                                                                                                   Rainbow colours bursting in the sky                                                                                                     Excitement flowing through the crowd                                                                                             Wishing as fireworks explode one by one                                                                                                           Observant children recalling memorises                                                                                 Raucous noises heard from miles away                                                                                             Kaleidoscopic looks fill the night sky                                                                                                   Soaring through the night

Rhyming:

Flashing lights across the night
Illuminating pure delight
Raucous cheers as colours bloom
Echoing through the crowd’s loud boom
Wonder fills both young and old
Overhead, the magic unfolds
Rays of red, green, blue, and gold
Kaleidoscopic tales retold
Soaring high, the fireworks shine, bursting bright with every line

 

WEEK 1: Cinquain

There are two ways to write a Cinquain poem. The first way is by using syllables. This format of writing a Cinquain poem is important to add the correct amount of syllables. The line 1 must have two syllables and is the title, line 2 must have four syllables and the description, line 3 must have six syllables and is the action line four must have eight syllables and line 5 must have two syllables. Here is an example of a Cinquain poem on the topic Nature:

Nature,                                                                                                                                                                   Wild, enchanting,                                                                                                                                             Blooming, thriving, appealing,                                                                                                                                        Observing the beautiful flowers,                                                                                                           Forest

WEEK 4: My life as a Raindrop

My life as a Raindrop

Hello! My name is Dew and I am a raindrop. Did you wonder how I ended up here yet?               Well First, we go through evaporation. Evaporation is when the water turns into water vapour due to heat and evaporates into the atmosphere. Second, we begin to condensate. Condensation is when we turn back into liquid water and we all are trapped in a tight cloud. Next is precipitation. Precipitation is when the cloud has so much water in it, it begins to release the water. The water can fall as hail, sleet, snow, or just rain. Oh look where I am landing! The Great Barrier Reef! It is pretty hot here so I have a feeling I will evaporate soon enough, bye!
