In our wananga class we have been learning about our self identity. We have been doing different activities to know our passion, strengths and weakness. We watched a video of Pat Ho talking about his passion, weakness, strengths and more. He also gave the viewers some advice. Pat Ho said " Don't let anything on your way". After watching the video we did a little summarizing about it.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 9 and in 2021 I will be a year 10. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Reflection - Critical Litaracy
Name Acronym - ESOL 10
For esol class, we did acronyms using our name. We did this because we want to make our classroom more colorful because it's so plain. I decided to use canva for my poster. I also used different colors for my name and colorful background. The words that I use for my name are the personalities that I have. Below this poster you will see 2 paragraphs. Those paragraphs are explaining why I am sincere and helpful.
I can say that I’m sincere because even though I like making funny jokes
I know those things that need to be talked about in a serious way. In other words I might
be a joker but I know how to express my feelings sincerely when based on the situation. I
don’t just laugh when the situation is something serious. I can be sincere in everyone not
just to my family and friends.
The other one is me being helpful. I really like helping others, especially when they really need it. I am willing to help everyone as long as I can. If I can’t be able to help them then I will give them advice on how they can solve their problem. I love helping people especially when it’s my friends, family and some who are really important to me.

The Skyscraper Trailer
We can see that the character have a stable and good life. His family is safe not until he met the owner of that skyscraper. We can also see that the other characters in the trailer say some things that make the trailer more exciting.
I believe this trailer is showing us that the character's family and himself got in danger because pf the clips that we saw on the trailer. We saw many other clips that gave us an idea about the movie.
321RIQ Technique - ESOL 10
Today we've learned a new technique how we can write our blog in a different way. This technique is called "321RIQ", the number and the letter in this word means something. The 3R is standing for three recalls, this means you need to write down in your blog the 3 things that you can recall or remember in your topic. The 2I is about two insights, this means you will put in your blog the two new things that you've learnt, this needs to be the new things that you didn't know before. The last one is the 1Q, this one is all about asking question about the topic that we have been learning. This is very important because this can give u a chance to ask and clear the confusion by asking a question.
Last week we've started our ESOL class for this year. Since we have a new teacher we started to get to know each other, we played a game where you can introduce yourself and to remember your teacher's and other classmate's name. In this game we need to say an adjective that starts on the first letter of our name and one thing that we like that also starts in the first letter of our name. After that we also wrote a introduction for our teacher to know us better.
So far in our ESOL class the one of the things that I've learned or new for me is the game. I've never play or know this game before so this is new for me. The other one is the 321RIQ that we've just learnt today. Even if I understand the 321RIQ I still wanted to learn more about this and who invented this.
I really find this technique helpful because this can make it easier for you to blog. You don't need to tell everything that you've done in your class, instead you will just writing what you have learned on that day
