Cartooning

Today I did cartooning. I drew a pig, a fish, a dog, a hippopotamus, a mouse, two women's faces and two women. I liked doing the drawing better than watching the cartoon movies and reading the book. I found out that it's harder then what it looks like and for some strange reason even though I copied exactly out of the book it looked better in the book.

Cassandra

Today Cassandra from the Southland Times came to tell us some interesting facts about interviewing people. She taught us how to make people feel comfortable when you're talking to them. (To make them feel comfortable when you're talking to them you say something nice like the weathers not too flash and it will get them in a nice conversation and it will be easier to get stuff out of them). She also told us that we need to ask open questions instead of closed so that we can get more information out of them in our small amount of time. I thought Cassandra was really interesting and I would like to see her again for more information.

Documentries

Today at talent development we decided what we were doing. My group [Claudia, Phoenix and I]

are doing icons of Southland. We called the City Council to get an interview with '' Mayor Tim''. We've got to learn to do filming, presenting, interviewing and editing.

Teacher comment

Kate your passion project was not only full of new learning for you but also assisted a large number of other students to succeed with their projects and so it really did make a difference in the lives of others. I was very impressed with how organized and self motivated you and Karen were, and how well you worked together. You have shown the same level of dedication to all your learning at Enrich and have made the most of all the opportunities you have been offered including representing Enrich at the Otago Southland chess competitions.
