My Rubric and Reflection

I have made 7 blog posts so far this year.
I have assessed myself as stepping up.
I have myself this rating because most of my ticks were in the stepping rough.
My next steps are to show a buddy my work and ask them I have any errors or mistakes in my work.

What I did today

Today I did the rules for our game and that took a long time. I also founda social issue for our game which is hard and putting it into the game is really hard to. 

Reflection for what I did in today

1. What learning did we do today? I did how the game was played and edited how you could win slides.
2. How well did we work as a team? very well we had no arguments and we got stuck into our work.
3. What contribution did I make to my team? a lot because there is only 2 of us so there's more work to do

Hi Leandro

I am Angus Blair from Gisborne New Zealand. I go to Campion College which is a Catholic school which I get a very good education there and some very cool teachers. I have two dogs and two cats. I have a mum and dad but no brothers or sisters (everyone thinks its really good to be an only child it's not. You get lonely). I have a pretty big group of friends because of swimming, surf lifesaving, soccer and many more sports plus friends at school. My favourite sports would probably be… swimming, surf lifesaving and soccer they are all fun and awesome to play.  My hobbies would probably be those sports, watching movies and playing on my computer sometimes.

Thanks for listening

Angus Blair

Story Board

I did a piece of work from the plot task. This is probably my best one out of the three because I worked the hardest on this one and am most proud of this one.

From the novel Trash By Andy Mulligan

He steals: Every month he steals around about 100 pesos from Father Julliard. I would never take much, just a hundred or or so, hoping Father Julliard would never miss it, and if he did he would think he miscounted.

He is the athlete out of the three boys: He says that he is the best runner, jumper and hearer out of the three. Book: This time they came quietly. This is Jun-jun, because I remember exactly how it was. I am the best hearer, the best jumper, the best runner- they think I brag, but they know it's true  

His dream: His dream in life is to go home and get a house on the beach and fish allday.   

His appearance: Is very skinny. Book: he had arms as skinny as pencils, and gardos crack about br

He is a leader: He leads the group. Book: This is Rat once again, aka Jun-jun, and I tell the part where I was the leader.where it gets bad, bloody and oh so dangerous.

What would I do with six million dollars

I would buy the latest Lamborghini out matte black.

I would make a youtube channel and buy subscribers about 500,000 of them then I would get views with them and get money from them. so will never be broke again. I would play Fortnite battle royale to make videos and do clickbait V-bucks giveaways for the views.

Buy a cool house on the Gold Coast Australia

Buy a good gaming computer for playing Fortnite

Pay my way out of school.
