🍊 My Canoe 🍊

What I did
In our voyaging slide it says to make your own canoe. In my canoe I wrote song lyrics or drew images that were in the music videos. I used oranges get turned into orange juice. Bellyache is a song title. And I used a symbol that is owned by a singer I like. And a music symbol hanging from the point of the canoe.



Other 
This took me over a week or so I made other one but I was not happy with them. What I enjoyed was drawing my canoe. And I liked discovery what ideas I could put in my canoe drawing. What I found challenging was trying to find what to put on my canoe drawing.

Anne Frank Animation

We had to make a animation about the story of Anne Frank and we got to pick which part we wanted to make a animation of.

What I enjoyed was creating all the images with shapes,polyline and curve.

What I found challenging was making the person with shapes.

Pigeon Impossible

Something unbelievable has happened in our hometown Washington D.C in December, 11:35 AM 1984. Secret Agent Walter Becket became closely came close by one of our most aggressive pigeons out there. Apparently it viciously tried to attack him. It all started when agent Becket gave the intelligent pigeon a little bite of his breakfast. He/she rejected his food and wanted the whole thing so he tried to attack him but he hit the pigeon and it went into the suspicious briefcase. He/she tried to press the big read button but he failed. He/she started nonstop pressing one of the buttons it fired red deadly lasers at him. The pigeon made wings come out of the side of the briefcase. He/she slowly flew up fiery lasers and started many flames. People screamed in terror. Agent Becket got his breakfast off the ground and started waving it in the air. The pigeon made the briefcase drop he went to get the food but Agent Becket tried to get him/her. The grey plain pigeon quickly closed the briefcase. He tried to get it again but successfully the agent got him/her. The Agent threw his breakfast up and it landed on the deadly big red button. A nuke came and was set to destroy Moscow in Russia. The agent flew with the briefcase the pigeon slowly caught up. He threw his breakfast down the pigeon tried to get it. Agent Becket fired a small missile at the nuke. It blow up saving Moscow. Half of the nuke crushed the pigeon on the ground. It could of ended up with a nuclear explosion. The next day Agent Becket went to jail because of animal abuse and carrying illegal items

Our classroom had to make a report about a video called pigeon impossible.

What I enjoyed was making it seem like it was in the news paper.

What I found challenging was making the images fit in with the writing.

💀 Near Death 💀

We started to walk to the deep dark river.

We arrived and there were some white fluffy

sheep staring at us. As my brother set up I

waited knowing that about 8 sheep were just

constantly looking at us. My brother found

a eel in the river he tried to catch it but

he failed. I jumped to on a rock but as soon

as I did I regretted it.

I jumped… My hands gripped to the long grass that

were hanging down. My feet and calves were in the

deep eel infested water. I cried I screamed. I could

feel the currant pushing against my calves and feet.

I knew as long as I did not let go I would be alright.

One of my brothers came running to help me. He grabbed

my arms and he pulled me up.

I sat down in total shock not even crying  just thinking

about what could've happened. I just started to play with

the hard rough dirt. I slowly climbed up to the top of the

small hill. I looked at the river. Thankfully we started to

head back home.

Our classroom was writing about a time when you were scared.

What I enjoyed was making my writing interesting and descriptive.

What I found Challenging was thinking of what to write about.
