Paired Reasearch Challenge

LI: Reasearch about your dinosaur you were given with a partner using multiple questions. (Habitat, Diet, Predators, and Protection). This week for Inquiry I made a reasearch project about the Pachycephalosauras dinosaur (Packysauras for short).

First, I found myself a buddy and were given an egg that was hatched, we used the fossil to identify the dinosaur. We discovered that the dinosaur was known as the “Pachycephalasauras”. It was a herbivor dinosaur that stood around 6 ft (200cm). It was known for being the dinosaur with the hardest head, they used their thick 10 inch skull to headbutt predators.

 

Next, we sorted out the other questions, such as their habitat and fun facts about them. They lived and adapted to a lot of lands, grassland, desert, forests, and jungles. They were very adventureus creatures. The fun facts were facts such as the original name, and when it lived and died.

 

For the last part of our task, we blogged and created the dinosaur with origami skills, but that blog is for another day.

 

 

Diary WW1

LI: To retell an event in history through the fictional eyes of someone who was there

This week for writing, I created a diary from the view of a person that may have lived through WW1. LS2 has been looking through old artifacts from WW1 left from the ANZAC’s creating basic knowledge to make a diary from the POV of a soilder.

 

First, I had to have some basic knowledge of the ANZAC’s in galipoli, which I didn’t; So I learnt that they had arrived to golipoli in 1915 April 25th, using that to start my diary.

 

Next, from what I had learnt I used it to create a diary that sounded slightly authentic. There was some unrealistic parts like how my character didn’t write in his diary for 3 months, and some realistic parts, like him feeling terrible for his first kill.

 

Lastly, I made a video to speak the diary I wrote to make a visual learning experience, that is for another blog though.
