I'm in London now!

The day before yesterday, I arrived in London. We flew from NZ to Singapore to London. On all the planes I felt sick. Hooray. By the way, I'm only going to blog on the weekdays. Weekdays in England. Anyway, we went to Tilbury  Fort. PHOTOS! And steep stairs.

Term 2 Week 1

Holidays are over now. :(

ON TO THE RECOUNT!

This week we started a writing project where we had to make an ad about something that could make our holidays awesome.  I have already done a post about this. It should be just about there ↓↓. Also, we are doing Agamographs for art. So far, all we've done is write down ideas. I suppose I should tell you what an Agamograph is. An Agraph, agamy, agamo, FINE I'LL CALL IT AN AGAMOGRAPH, is a picture that changes depending on how you look at it. Example: Earth to Earth shaped Penguin in space. These usually have to be related somehow. With the example, the Penguin ate the Earth, hence the earth shaped. Anyway, I am finding the ad easy because I've finished it and the art easy because I haven't started it*. My next step is to:

1. Start the art.
2. Nothing.

🐧

Penguin says bye.

*WOW SMALL TEXT! This is going to change in about 2 hours and 20 minutes. Lemonade Apple.

Persuasive techniques in commercials

My Reflection

We were learning to make an advertisement to convince our parents to do something that would make our holidays amazing. I chose to make mine about letting us play video games all day. I started out doing an animation like everyone else, but after I couldn't think of a script and most of the time I didn't have a computer to make the animation, so I decided to try and do a POSTER OF AMAZINGNESSABILITY. I was the only one doing a poster, since it wasn't one of the original options we were given. And look, it turned out amazing. I even made a pamphlet. The persuasive techniques I used were:

1.Emotional appeal: Using things that the people who I am directing this ad to like.

2. Testimonial: A review from a happy customer.

3.Slogan: In this case: "Leave'em be and be free" A catchy thing that will stay in people's mind

4. Repetition: Saying something over and over again so you remember it.

5. Bandwagon: Fear of missing out.

6. Expert opinion: Using something that people will trust because it was said by someone who knows what they're doing.   

 I found this work tricky, because there wasn't many benefits. My next step is to make more pamphlets.

Dot Story

Once there was a person called Dot. Dot had a fear of dots. No dotty letters such as or . So we won't harbor dots. NO DOTS.  Except full stops. All other dots are half dots, so they're bad. Anyway, dot went to the shop. She bought lots of bots. That day was unbearably hot. Rhyme a lot. The story turns to rot. Bye.

100 Word Challenge

Dogzilla

No. This is not happening. That’s just a normal dog. Not massive. I'm just hallucinating. But I'm still running, just in case. I mean somebody could probably tell me that there's just a normal, ordinary dog. In fact, if I turn around now it'll probably be normal. I look round. Nope, still massive. I'm starting to wonder if I should scream. That sounds like the  right thing to do. I start screaming. Then I stop.  I start to wonder if me running away is a  metaphor for life. I realize I've stopped running. I look round. The dog's gone. Okay...

Note: WOW SMALL TEXT!! The fancy word thingy is the same one I used before. As I said before, it was made with Cooltext.com. Hmm... Dragon fruits.I think that's a fruit.

Explanation Writing

My Reflection

YAY IT FINALLY WORKED! The border just wouldn't upload right in the HTML. Even now it's not quite right. Anyway, I was learning to write an explanation. I found the actual writing easy because it just wasn't that hard. The uploading however*...  My next step is to write another explanation...?

*Part of the border was above the writing, the rest were in the middle of it.
