Term 3 Portfolio

UOI This term in UOI has been the best. All the projects that we have done have been enjoyable. The topics we based our units on were awesome.

Sharing The Planet- The topic we did with sharing the planet was based on global warming and saving our planet. We did lots of research into this topic and did lots of activities regarding this topic. The first activity we did was a partner activity. Curtis and I worked together and we had the topic, waste management. When we finished we out all our info onto a poster. We presented it and Mr Kemperman said it was really good. After that we started to do lots of things with the other class. We watched a video called the story of stuff. It was very interesting and was very factual. After all that looking into the topic Mr Kemperman gave us a huge assignment. We had to write a letter to propose to build a renewable energy power plant of our choice. I chose geothermal which is using molten lava and the heat in rock to generate electricity. We had many weeks to do it before we presented. I had a letter and a video to go with it. Mr Kemperman gave me an A for the assignment. He said I did very well. I was proud of myself. We also went on an excursion to the exhibition centre to have a look at exhibitions so they can help us to do our exhibitions.

How We Express Ourselves- When Mr Kemperman introduced us to this topic he gave us an assignment straight away. It was a really fun one that I enjoyed working on. What we had to was pick a facial expression and pick a song that makes us feel that way. We had to put into a slideshow with on each slide, the picture, the song, and a description on why the song made us feel that way. No one failed which wasn’t surprising. It was a simple and fun task. This was a unit that we wanted to rush through so we could get onto our exhibitions. So we went straight to the main assignment. We had to make a play. It could be a video, an act, a monologue, a mime, a puppet show or any others you could think of. There were rules though. You had to include a book, a sock, a chair and somewhere you had to have Berwick Grammar mentioned. Jai, Curtis and I went in a group and we did ours based on a murder type movie.
