My Story... The CROCK Bite

It was one hot summers when Bob was out fishing with some of his mates: Jeff, John, and Jack, Jeff is 26 years of age John is 27 years of age and Jack is 27 years of age they had been fishing for two whole day's trying to get the big bite. [When Bob gets the big bite he's winding as hard as he can but the fish is just too strong when his mates give him a hand to get it to shore it finaly comes ashore but what happens next is not what he expects a CROCODILE. Bob doesn't know what to, nor does Jeff John or Jack. So they try to take it off but it is just too risky. 

Bob Jeff John and Jack think it would be a good idea to try and take it off when BOOM it just happens in the blink of an eye the crock has striked and Bob has been bitten. Jeff,John and Jack have know idea what to do so they try to ring an ambulance but there is no cellphone reception. They are three hours from the nearest hospital so they get a bandage to try and stop the bleading. Then, they get him in the car and rush him to hospital.

Bob is SCREAMING with pain and they haveonly been driving for 2 hours. He is losing blood rapidly the time is ticking 10 minutes till the nearest hospital, then Jeff stops at the daisry to bye a chocolate bar and when he comes back Bob has DIED!!!. From loss of blood

I can describe the structure of a Short Story

Something I have learned about the structure of short stories is they are short strong and punchy

After reading some short stories two things I will remember when I write my own short story are and that they need to be strong and punchy so that the reader will be interested

Blog post title: Term 1 Integrated Learning - Leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.

Here is a link to the Leadership modelling book.

We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are……. 

Traits of an effective leader
Integrity	Goal Focused
Trustworthy	Active Thinker
Resilient	Motivational

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is goal focused because I never give up

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is motivational because I want to motivate people

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is that they show the 6 traits

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is relational because I can compare and contrast the traits of different leaders.

My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.

Blog Post title: Drama Improvisation Term 1

WALT: apply the techniques of improvisation to a range of different scenarios.

Improvisation techniques that I have used successfully are, always saying yes

Improvisation techniques that I would like to have more practice at making things up on the spot.

The thing that I enjoyed most about this unit of learning was having banta with everyone because we got to be silly have have banta

The thing that I found most challenging during this unit of learning was making things up on the spot because i am not good at making things up on the spot

My favourite improvgame was the name rap because it was fun

My next step/ something I need to work on further  in improvisation is the name rap because i am not good at raping
