Reading, Molly Craig

For our reading inquiry, we got given a journal to pick out the main points of the story. I chose Molly Craig. Molly is a famous journalist. She traveled over 1000 miles to get back to her hometown with her sister by her side also one of their cousin. I really enjoyed learning more about what intrepid journeys were about. I didn’t know what they meant, until I opened the journal. My goal for reading inquiry is to make sure my facts are in the right order so no one gets confused. This is the poster I created.

Adrenaline Writing, The Buffalo.


For our term 2 writing, we have been focusing on adrenaline writing. It is about getting ideas from a video or picture. M.s Dods chose a couple of videos. One was about lioness attacking a buffalo and the other was about bike rides. I chose the buffalo one. I went over and over until it had no more mistake. I met the deadline on time. This is the writing I created.




The Buffalo
Blending into the dusty, rocky hillsides. Spying on tonight's dinner. Making no sudden moves. Dry grass just covering me. Sun flashing down onto my shiny coat. Carefully watching my prey mover closer and closer. Inch by inch. 3, 2, 1… Quickly dashing towards our feast like lightning bolts going off. The buffalo spins off to safety. Chasing after him without stopping. I needed him, I was starving to death.
Dust flicking up behind me. It was like a race. Clinging my fangs into his brustle tail. Hoping that would slow him down. It didn’t. He kept galloping towards his home. I tried everything I could possibly do to slow him down. Nothing could slow him down. At least I snapped at his tail. We were getting closer to his hideout. In the corner of my eyes I saw people glancing at us.

Feeling like my nerves will snap at any second. I felt like a cake baking. All my buddies were chasing after this one buffalo trying our best to capture him. The sun was still screeching down on us. I need water splashed over me. I was burning to death. It had been 5 minutes trying to capture this beast. He was too fast for us. We couldn’t tap him.
He had escaped.

Inquiry, Sia, Singer.

My other artist is Sia. Sia is an Australian singer. I chose Sia because I wanted to know more about her and why she hides her face from public. I really enjoyed reading new facts about Sia. They were interesting for me. Sia is very well talented by the sounds of this acts right here. Sia was first discovered by a band in a karaoke bar. Later on, Sia was featured in one of Christina Aguilera song.
This is the google poster I created about her.

Inquriy, Jake Paul, Actor.

In room 4, for our term 2 writing inquiry, we all got to chose 2 artist to study and learn more about, I choose Jake Paul, [actor,] and Sia, [singer.] I really enjoyed making the poster for my artist, [Jake Paul,] because I did him by hand. Jake acts in one of my favourite tv shows, “Bizaardvark.” He lives in Calabasas, Los Angeles, California.

There is the poster I made about him.
