Walt: create an advertisement persuading people to go to the Special Olympics here in Palmerston North. I used MS Publisher to create this poster. To make my poster stand out and grab the readers attention I put lots of colurs in my words. I found making it stand out challenging because some backround colurs dont go with the colurs of the words. Something I enjoyed was everything because it was my first advertising poster. Something interesting I learnt about advertising was everything needs to stand out.

FML news

Walt: follow an inquiry process and present out inquiry learning about the Special Olympics using MS Movie maker. Before making this movie, I looked over the feedback I received last term for my movie about China. Some of the things I took into consideration and tried to improve on when making this movie were to be clearer and be creative. Something interesting I have learnt about the Special Olympics during this inquiry is that the logo for the Special Olympics represents lots of things. A challenge I found in this inquiry was memorizing the words because there was lots of parts. I overcame this challenge by having the words somewhere I could see if I forgot.
