SLJ Week 2 Day 4 Activity 1&2&3

DAY 4: Spectacular, Spectacular


Activity 1: Planes, Trains and Automobiles [4 points]
Arguably, one of the most dramatic and spectacular (beautiful) places to visit in New Zealand is Milford Sound. It has been referred to as the ‘eighth wonder of the world.’ It is a beautiful fiord (steep valley) that was formed when big pieces of ice (glaciers) melted. The melted glaciers created a beautiful river that is surrounded by dramatic cliffs and snow-capped mountains. People who visit Milford Sound are able to take a boat cruise through the middle of the fiord, walk around the area on the Milford Track or fly above the fiord as part of a private helicopter tour.
Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer?
On your blog tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.
I would take an helicopter to explore Milford Sound because you can see a nice view of the place, I can takes pictures and record videos.

Activity 2: It’s All in the Name [4 points]
Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s most popular tourist destinations. It is a city filled with incredible forests, mountain biking tracks, lakes, and geothermal wonders, including hot springs (geysers) and mud pools. One of the most famous geothermal pools is called the Devil’s Bath at Wai-o-Tapu Thermal Wonderland. It is a neon green pool of stinky water.
Over the years, people have suggested that we come up with a new name for the pool. What do you think we should call it? Take a minute to let your creative juices flow.
On your blog, give us a list of three to five options for the name of this geothermal pool. Put a star (*) beside the name that you like the most.
  1. Neon Toxic Bath*
  2. Monsters Vomit
  3. Stinky Wonderland Pool
  4. Green Madness
  5. Witch's Poison


Activity 3: Picture Perfect [10 points]

While New Zealand is home to some beautiful waterfalls, there are a number of stunning waterfalls in places like Canada and South Africa. In Canada, the largest waterfall is called Niagara Falls. It sits on the border between Canada and the United States of America. Thousands of tourists flock (go) to Niagara Falls every year to see the falls and to have their picture taken in front of this natural wonder. Over the past few years people have started taking ‘selfies’ and posting them online. Do you ever take selfies?
For this activity, choose one of the following three selfies. From left to right: Selfie #1, Selfie #2, Selfie #3







On your blog, write a short story about what you think is happening in the picture. Be sure to tell us where you think the people are and what you think they were doing at the time that they stopped to pose for the selfie. To earn full points, the story must be 8 – 10 sentences long.

Selfie 3- This girl looks like she is taking a picture of her and behind her is a town. I think she went on a vocation. I think she thought about a remembrance and took a picture. It looks like she went to a very a high building and took it there. It looks like she took a very nice picture. She looks like she went to a very fancy town that has a lot of buildings. It looks a bit like Italy because of the colours of the buildings or France. She looks like she had a great time there.

  1. Hey Anamaria

    I have had such a great time catching up on your blog posts. You have really put a lot of creative effort into coming up with new names for the Devil’s Bath. I like Neon Toxic Bath as well but I think my favourite name that you have come up with is Green Madness. In my mind I can see people trying to drink from it and being turned crazy by the toxic water. The name makes it sound like a movie.

    Her selfie looks quite impressive. DO you think you would be brave enough to climb to the top of that wall and take a photo? I wouldn’t.
    I’d be too scared of falling. If you could take a selfie in front of any building in the world, where would it be?

    Keep up the great work Anamaria,
    Izzy

    1. Hi Lizzy, If I had to take a photo on top of that wall I would not be brave enough to climb. I really hate heights and the same reason, I do not want to fall off the wall.

      If I would want to take a photo in front of any building in the whole world I would choose to take a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower. I really want to go to France and visit the Eiffel Tower.

      Thank you for visiting my blog post!
