Blog Comments

Today we looked at blog comments. We have been looking at synthesizing in class and saw a connection between good comments and synthesizing. We decided that a good comment uses information from the text and what the reader already knows to create something new. This means starting a conversation in the comments.

We created this rubric to help us:

Palmerston North 3D Model

For inquiry we had to make the square, Palmerston North, using 3D models for the buildings. 

We had to have certain skills to complete this task

- make 3D nets

- scale

- building 3D shapes

- measurement

- symmetry

- tabs

We also had to make sure that 1 story was 2cm high and a 2 story 4cm high.

These are some photos of how it turned out:
