Year 9 English

In English, we use a website called Hapara. Hapara is a website where each students gets invited to get their own workspace. So they can get their work. At the start, we chose a person who was inspirational to us, or inspirational to other people.

In English, we do things called Big Questions & Success Tickets. At the start of the day, we log onto Hapara and do the big question. The big question is to write a 100 word story about what happened during their week or an imaginary story. The success ticket is what we do at the end of the day. We write a review of the work that we did that day.

Our research so far has been about the Hero Cycle. While doing the work, we did things related to it, like Monomyths. The photo attached is a picture of the work we did about Monomyths.

Next term I would like to do something different than doing the Hero Cycle. Like writing a story about a certain subject. Or learning new things.

Future Cars

We have been writing what we think a futuristic car will look like. We had to each write our own cool car then had to partner up with someone to draw them.

The lime green car, soaring just above the road. With rubber around the car, going into the wonderful mixture of blue in the water. Machine guns attached to each side of the car, with magical features inside the car;, bluetooth speaker steering wheel. The top of the car is like a little home, with a small bed and tv inside. The top story of the car has a light mixture of orange around it. The car up to 1000 km an hour. Big bright flames shooting out the back of the car with extra boosters on the back so the car can go a bit faster. On the front of the car is a small sharp drill so when people are going slow in front of you you can activate it so it can pop their tyres and go over them. The car also has big giant reinforced wheels so it can drive over any vehicle. Has a caveman driving the car so you can get through traffic easier. The caveman will not know how to drive so if you are stuck in traffic he will drive through a building to get you somewhere faster. The caveman comes with many features, personalized talking system, lasers, and a pistol just in case if someone crashes into him.
