Ancient Greek Olympic Research Challenge

LI: To use our smart searching skills to help us explore the Ancient Olympic games

LI: To work collaboratively in groups as an active participant and contributor

Our challenge was to work in our groups to carry out a mini collaborative inquiry into the ancient olympic games. We used our smart searching skills to help us answer the questions. Our group worked well because we all collaborated together, shared ideas, and contributed.  Something I found interesting was that free men could participate in the Ancient Olympics but women could not as well as men could watch the Olympics but women could not. Some other things I found interesting is that people who participated in the pankration event could do anything except for biting and eye gouging. Chariot racing was the most popular sport while pancration was the most unusual sport in whole of the ancient olympic games.

I found this activity interesting because I learnt facts about the ancient olympic games and how they started the olypic games.

Information Report Bengal Swamp Tiger

LI: to write an information Report that informs the read about the swamp tiger.

We used our smart searching skills to find out facts about Bengal Swamp Tigers. When we found out facts and information we made notes about their diet, habitat, behaviour, and appearance. We used the notes to write the information report. Information report gives readers information about a chosen topic by providing them with facts.

 

Swamp Tigers are animals that are really hard to find which makes them very mysterious. Their scientific name is Panthera Tigris Tigris and they lived in the islands of India and Bangladesh. Did you know that in different countries the Swamp Tigers have different names.

Swamp tigers have an orange body with black stripes and a white belly. They have pointed teeths, long whiskers and strong paws. An adult Swamp Tiger could weigh up to 420 pounds.

Swamp Tigers are carnivores. ( which means they only eat meat ). They eat Wild boars , crabs, fish, rats, frogs, Chital (deer), otters , turtles , Fishing cats , wild pigs and even Humenbeings! Their behavior makes them protective over their territory which makes them big predators over their land.  

Swamp tigers mostly live in Mangrove Forest which is a place in India and Bangladesh called Sunderban. They like to live in a warm and wet place. Some swamp tigers left their trances around Myanmar, China, Bhutan and Nepal. Do you think that these creatures only live in Sunderban?

Did you know swamp tigers are unsocial animals? Many of them live alone and some of them live in a small group. They are also excellent swimmers and a good hunter at night.

Because people keep taking the habitat from the swamp tiger. Now they have become an endangered species. Do you think that people should stop taking the land from swamp tigers ?

Swamp Tigers

LI: To create a multi-modal DLO that tells others about swamp tigers.

For this task our challenge was to reaserch about swamp tigers and find information about these animals. Using websites and videos we made a list of notes about what the swamp tigers appearance, diet, habitat and behaviours are. These Swamp Tigers have orange fur with black stripes and, white belly. It mostly eats wild boars and are only found at a place called Sunderban. It is really protective over their territory as many fishermen get killed by these swamp tiger every year which depends if you enter its territory.

I found this activity interesting because there were little information about the Swamp Tiger as it is rarely seen.

Then I replied back to him and gave him some extra information in my comment. We continued this step 1 more time on a google docs. When we were finished we posted the comment on our blog.

Responsible Use

Ia learnt the responsibilities of our netbook.

First we read a slide about our hwo to keep Me, my family, and my chromebook safe.

Nexts we learned the two differences: they were school responsible and responsible use. School responsible is when the school has to pay for something if you treat you chromebook correct but if you don’t then they won’t pay for your extra payment of you chromebook.

Lastly we went into two different groups for a test. When we got in the  two groups we had to send up two people from  each group .Whoever answered the question first  would win a point for their team. The first round was girls Vr boys. Girls lost by 2 points. boys won by 5 points. The last round was jumpers Vrs non jumpers. both was tie by 3.

I enjoyed going against other groups, I need to improve on remembering the kawa of care, I think I did well on remembering some of the kawa of care answers.
