Today

Wow today was super busy like last week! Today was the second last week for our writing movie to be finished! I am really nervous about mine I think it may be rushed.

Oh well I'll make it my best. I was super stressed. Katie told us that what ever image we used we had to write down the website it was from. We also had to make sure that the images for the background were not blurry. I learnt how to use the alpha key on keynote. The alpha key is what you highlight the part of the picture that you don't want. It was super busy like always today.

Later,

Madison

Hi Madison.

You had a productive day at Enrich today! It was great to see your focus and drive for writing shine through today. We spent all of our class time working on talent development, and you were still wanting to continue through your lunch break! This shows great dedication to your writing! You have made wonderful progress with the production side of your story today, and I look forward to seeing more of your Kid-Pix presentation next week. You are well organised, and on track to having your entry ready for the week 10 due date for the MADE Awards. Keep up the fantastic work Madison.

Talent Development

Today I have started making my Kid-Pix animation! I was quite nervous when I started recording, but when I got into it I was fine. It sometimes is annoying because if I make a mistake ... all gone!

I can't wait to finish it but I'll take my time to make it just right and more perfect. I have to say that Nanny Mel is looking pimply (That is good though.)

I was going to put some of my work on but I need to change some of the characters. It was hard to find a pimply nanny so I had to draw the pimples. I'll be posting again next week,

Madison.

Kid Pix

Macy
Another Quack

Quack


Today Katie showed us how to use Kid Pix to help with the production of our storytelling. Katie demonstrated Kid Pix using the story of Cinderella. Kid pix looks fun to use. I am going to use that for my storytelling. I have also been busy searching for images of some of my characters like Macy, Stacey, Quack, the wolves and Nanny Mel.

The hardest image to find is Macy. Macy is a pelican. Imagine searching for a pelican flying with it's mouth open!

Stacey

So Far today.

Hi again,

So far today I have edited Stacey and Quack's Adventure and played a game of leaderboard chess. I have also completed my morning quiz. This is what I want to get done today:

P4C

Mind mapping

Science

Cartooning

Where in the world.

Today I am going to be busy. I have just learnt how to use Garageband (to do a podcast), but I think I will use Kid-pix to produce my story.

See you later,

Madison.

Talent Development

Wow today was busy.

At writing talent development we looked at a range of other things that we could add to our writing to make it more interesting. We looked at things like humor, character names, lead sentences, titles, and word pictures. We had a look at Roald Dahl's website. Katie showed us the interview of him answering questions about good tips for writing

My characters have changed. Instead of Madison as the main character, I have changed it to Stacey. Nanny Mel is two faced and is extremely pimply, she also has a giant purple-ish blue-ish red-ish wart on her nose!

She actually looks like a frog.

I will add more about my writing next week.

I better go to one of the workshops,

Later, Madison. First page of

Today.

Today has been really busy.

First up today for writing talent development, we looked at the marking criteria and talked about what we needed to do for our writing. During the session I finished my story about Quack and Madison. I printed off my draft and then Katie checked it and put some suggestions of things I needed to work on. I spent the rest of the session fixing these things up.

My story is going to be made into an animation. Next week we will be carrying on with writing and I think we will be starting on the production.

We have 6 weeks after today to finish - that's not that long.

I have completed my before school pick - daily quiz. I went to the debating workshop with Alana, and completed goal setting with Katie.

Bye,

Madison
