Winter is…

I made a poem that descibes what winter is:

 

 Winter is…

Winter is making snow angels and snowmen.

 win

Winter is celebrating holidays such as Christmas.

Winter is staying home and sleeping in during the winter break.

Winter is not wearing shorts and t-shirts.

Winter is drinking hot chocolate.

Winter is a beautiful season.

Blog Challenge-Week 10-Final Challenge

1. How many posts did you write?

I wrote 20 posts on my blog; all the student blog challenges (including this one), survey’s, and other posts that were various topics.

2. How many were school based, your own interests or set by the challenge?

School based: 16 (includes Student Blogging Challenges)
My own interests: 3

3. How many comments did you receive from classmates, teachers or overseas students?

I received 2 comments on my blog. They were both on the post I did about “Tap Water VS Bottled Water”, and by classmates.

4. Which post received the most comments? Why do you think that happened?

The “Tap Water VS Bottled Water” post received the most comments. I think this happened because the people who commented had not used Powtoon before, which was the program I used in that post.

5. Which post did you enjoy writing the most and why?

The post I enjoyed writing the most is blog challenge week 6. This was the most interesting because I chose to do activity 6, in which we had to write a post in my native language. This was fun because I got to do something on my blog that wasn’t in English.

6. Did you change blog themes at all and why?
I did change the blog theme. I did this because the first one that I had was “Borderline Chaos”. I changed the background image because I wanted it to be a design, and not just a solid colour. I also had to change the whole theme because my widgets were blocking my posts, so it was hard to read them.

7. How many widgets do you have? Do you think this is too many or not enough?

I have 10 widgets. I think that I have a good amount because my widgets don’t go too far down that they go even past all my posts. If I had a few extra animal widgets, then that would also be fine.

8. How many overseas students do you have on your blogroll?

I don’t have any oversea students on my blogroll, but I do have 2 of my classmates. I also have a link to our class blog.

Blog Challenge-Week 9-Part B

Here is what makes a great blog:

This week, we also had to nominate a blog for the Edublogs Awards. I chose to nominate a class blog. The blog that I chose is “Miss Taylor’s Class 2013-14”. Here are some good things about this blog:

  • They posted lots of things that they were doing in their class.
  • They had sites to every kid in their class’ blog
  • They had other sites that they might have used in their class
  • They had a few widgets that counted who visited their blog and where they were from

Here is the URL of this blog:

http://kidblog.org/Miss_Taylor/

You can visit this blog anytime you want.

It will be very interesting to find out who wins this year!

Enjoy!

 

 

Blog Challenge-Week 9-Narrative

This week, I made a narrative as my best blog post. I have the whole story, and I have also put it into a comic. Hope you enjoy it!

My mom is a MONSTER!

Once there lived a woman whose name was Jane and was a mother to 3 kids-John, Sara and George.  She was very kind and helpful during the day, but when the sun set and the kids were sound asleep, she turned into an EVIL MONSTER!

Jane’s eyes turned from a peaceful blue to a spooky green. Her hair turned from a soft brown to a faded white. This was not normal for a human, but when she was young, one of the members from the CHC (Creepy Humans of Carsem) club had inserted a special device in her. She turned this way every night, but no one noticed. Jane would never talk about it because she never remembered what happened during the night.

One day, when the kids woke up, all the trees around them had fallen. Nobody knew how. There had been no notice of a storm, but that was the only possible answer, so everyone thought that, including Jane-but John still thought that there was something fishy about it.

That night, John had a bad dream so he went to his mother’s room-but strangely she wasn’t there. So he went to his sibling’s rooms. He woke them up-at least tried to! George wouldn’t wake up, so he just told his sister, Sara the story. After listening to it, Sara said, “You’re mistaken. It was probably just thunder.”John sighed, “What should I do now? Maybe Sara’s right. I should just go to sleep.” A little while later, John heard the sound again. This time, his sister had heard it too. She came in his room and told him, “We’re going to investigate,” and left him no time to think about it.

Soon, they were busy sneaking around outside. “I think the thing is gone,” said John. Just as he said that, they heard it again. “It’s coming from that way!” exclaimed Sara. “Now that way!” said the excited yet exhausted John. They kept doing that until they saw a quick glimpse of the creepy monster. Then they saw more of it. “Doesn’t that look a bit like mom?” questioned Sara. “It really does!” replied John. “No…wait…that can’t be…she has brown hair and blue eyes; not white hair and green eyes,” murmured Sara.

“What are you talking about?” asked John. “I really think that IS mom,” replied his sister, shocked. “Now that you think about it, you might be right; she wasn’t here when I woke up,” said John. His surprised sister replied, “Then why didn’t she tell us about it? That is the only question, though. Everything else makes sense. Let’s go back now. We can tell her tomorrow morning.”
