NZ WW1 Life On A Transport Ship





For this activity Nyjah, Victoria, Alex and I made a DLO explaining about the WW1
NZ Transport Ship. We had found out a lot of information about the inside of the
ship and how soldiers had to be cramped up in such a little space. It isn't as luxury
as most people thought. Instead, it is very cramped and there is a huge difference
between officers and enlisted soldiers. The officers had comfy beds, good food
whilst the unlisted soldiers slept on the floor or on some beds and didn't have the
same amount of good food.

Writing: Siri Group Challenge

Today, we have been given a challenge for writing by our teacher Mrs Anderson. Our challenge was to write in exactly 50 words, a response that Siri (An automated program on Apple devices) would give us if we asked it "Why Kokako Lodge is the greatest place to take year 7 and 8's on camp?" Although Mrs Anderson wanted to make this more of a challenge. So what we could do is gain points by using different Language features that would give us 5 points each. If every feature was used, then you could gain a total of 40 points. Although for another 5 points, you needed to make sure that everyone in your group was working together, and that a learning conversation was taking place. If you had exactly 50 words, and you used different references, you could even have 100 points total! Once you finished writing, you needed to digitally create a Siri conversation showing Siri's answer. The final step was to create a Screencastify that had us voicing over the whole conversation. For this activity, I worked with Jack, Alex, and Viliami. We had a lot of fun, and enjoyed recording the most.
