My inquiry reflection

The Wild West

In this writing piece my goal was to draw the reader and make the reader want to read more.
The 

Wild West

What do you think of when someone says the Wild West. You probably think of outlaws, Indians, gunfights. I can tell you it’s all of these things but much more. I would know because I’m a cowboy. My name is Jack Wiggins I’m 24 years old and I’ve probably got the most bad luck in the Wild West. You see the West is a dangerous place to be in the year 1972. So if you want to know how I stole from the Sherif, killed a dangerous outlaws horse and ended up getting in a gunfight with him, and lit a whole indian camp base on fire and still survived, keep reading this...

Te Reo maori poster

Te Reo Presentation

WALT: communicate a message.

Description: We have been participating in 3 different workshops around colour, compositions and fonts.  We put these skills to use in a poster sharing our knowledge about Te Reo Maori.

Why? We have noticed that our posters are too cluttered and do not communicate a  message well.

Task: Make a poster about Te Reo Maori.

Criteria:

Message: My message is clear and purposeful.  Everything that is on my poster relates to my message.

Composition:  My poster is balanced.

Font:  My font is clear, readable and suits the message.

Colour:  I have used 2-3 colours that are complementary.  My background choice makes the text pop!

Accuracy:  All of the words on my poster are spelt correctly.

Evaluation:

1. What are you most proud of and why? I'm proud that I was able to use all of things that I learnt at the workshops on having a successful poster.

2. What challenged you the most and why? The background challenged me the most because I had to put enough yellow but the same amount of purple.

3. Next time, what is a goal you can work towards? Using a maori sentence and using more words.

Feedback/Feedforward:

I like your background Josiah and your fonts you really did a good job applying what you learnt at the workshops. Next time you could do a sentence in maori like give me the scissors. Khobi.
