Boy Overboard animation

 On my last blog post I mentioned that the we had a series of tasks to complete about our class novel, Boy Overboard. Here is the animation I created using Google Slides, the and Explore tool. I choose the scene from the book when Bibi, Jamal's younger sister kicks the soccer ball, landing near a tank, and then standing on a landmine. I couldn't even image standing on a land mine! Luckily the mine was just a old dud and Bibi was safe. Overall, I used 120 slides to create the animation...here is my work! You can also use the arrow keys down the bottom of the slide to make the animation go faster. Have you ever created an animation? 

Would you read Pax?

Recently our class finished reading our class novel Pax. While reading this book, we were asked to share our thinking and predictions about what we think is going to happen in the book. One of our tasks was to draw each character in our reading books (Pax the fox and Peter the boy) With one character per page, then rule the page in half and on one side write what we know about the character and on the other our predictions and what we don't know about them. We also had to visualise and use our imagination as there were no pictures of the characters in the book for us to use and copy while drawing them.

After we read the story we had to write a book report on the novel. To publish/create my book report I used Google Drawings. When I had finished typing the blurb I took photos of my drawings in my reading book, removed the background and added them on the side. Here is my book review... Would you read Pax??
