Advertisements


Part 1 - What Is Advertising?
Advertising or Adverts are basically little pop ups that occur after a person says “We will be right back after the break” or something like that. But thats just TV Advertisements are most likely to appear almost anywhere.
Part 2 - Where can these ads appear?
Advertisements can appear almost anywhere. Where ever it would a school. Baseball Game, Scoreboard, whatever works! But some advertisements are … Lets just say …

Part 3 - Should you do this?
That other people want somebody else to try that product on. Earlier, we watched a Rebel Sports ad that shows a girl asking a man to try on a suit for his husband. However is weird. If you want to see the ad, go to this link. Rebel Sports Ad with Sonny Bill. That shows what I mean. You shouldn't be doing this stuff in shops such as K-Mart and The Warehouse.

My Thoughts

My thoughts on the advertisements. %50 of the time. Watch them. The other %50 percent, don’t watch them. Overall, I would choose to be on the 2nd half of the %50 percent.

Learning Logs T3 W7

Learning Logs

Learning logs or journals let students keep notes of their thoughts and feelings about their work. A log need be no more than a page.

. What I found most interesting this week was… Reading stuff.co.nz’s news.

. What I enjoyed most about this week was…  Getting to work on a lot of projects around Learn Create Share.

. One thing that still puzzles me is… Why did we get the fish and chips for the movie? Was it for something to eat or was it a treat?


.What I need help with is … Sorting and planning my projects for Learn Create Share


. What pleased me most was… The last night for the production. But, I just want to keep doing it over and over.

Robot Writing


Purpose: To create a narrative based on an image

Chapter 1 - After The Invasion

The Day Is October 23 2050. Its a normal day in the wrecked city of China. This man called Loaf was the only survivor. 6 years ago the invasion of the robots began and caused the smog. The smog killed the humans but half were underground and were safe. They were hunted down but Loaf has survived.
Loaf looks in his empty cupboards for his breakfast “嗯,当然没有早餐,如果中国没有侵略我将不得不吃的我’’ (Translation: ”Well of course no breakfast. If china wasn’t invaded i would have food with me’’) Loaf got his clothes on and went in the wrecked city of china.


Chapter 2 - Loafs Revenge


Some bodies were lying on the ground and some were inside buildings. Robots were going crazy inside the buildings and Loaf saw a sign with the robot mayor named 金枪鱼 (Translation: Tuna) Loaf keeped walking onwards untill he found a sign on a factory that said 虚位以待!请参见市长金枪鱼楼内申请手续 (Translation: Help Wanted! Please See Mayor Tuna Inside The Building To Apply) Loaf went inside and as he went straight in the alarms went off and a army of red robots from the invasion. Loaf runned while the red robots shot out fire and acid.
Loaf found some barrels full of acid. Loaf set time bombs on it and rolled them to the robots and BOOM! They exploded! Loaf ran to the top of the factory. There was no way out. Loaf was about to roll the barrels but instead he jumped off the building And… landed in a pile of water that pretty much came out of nowhere... Anyway he found a nuke that could explode the whole factory!


Chapter 3 - Aftermath


Loaf planted the bomb and runned away! The robots went back to work but when the nuke exploded… BOOM!!!The nuke caused a massive earthquake and some of the lakes made a quarter of china flood and… Loaf was rolling around until noon came around.


Chapter 4 - Loafs Funeral
The day is June 21 2082 There are over 100,000 People in china and today is the funeral of Loaf. Loaf Was born on September 28 2021 And has died at the age of 103.


Chapter 5 - Present Day…
It Is February 7th 2102. Today is the last year ever for china to see Loafs grave.
The End.

My Facebook Networking Google Presentation.

Eye Of The Storm




A mad scientist has decided to test out if he can go to other dimensions. But… he had a pet dragon to take care of. He could talk to the dragon with his mind because he had tamed the dragon. 2 years ago… a red thing came to the Earth's present dimension. The scientist found the red thing. It was actually a dragon! Unfortunately the dragon must be released. So before the massive storm happened… He spoke to the dragon one last time. And then he was released. He couldn't talk to the dragon any more because it was untamed. In the end… the scientist made a good choice because if he had keeped the dragon… He would of died with the scientist and yes... the scientist did die before he even reached the portal.
