Skim watch each of these videos below. Choose one to copy. You are going to learn how to draw one or two point perspective "3D like" pictures on a flat surface. You may try more than one. Stop/pause and replay the video at your leisure as many times as you like while you are drawing. You will be required to hand in a finished piece of art by 2:10pm today, so make your choice wisely :-)
Grade 6s try these practice exercises for the Math we have been working on in Chapter 7: Quiz 1 and 2. Post details on one concept that you had difficulty with and whether you have worked it out.
As a practice for your upcoming assignment on creating a planet that is habitable by human-like life forms, you are going to experiment with NASA's extreme planet makeover. You will balance 5 factors to create an earth-like habitable world.
1) The size of the planet (more gravity, atmosphere...)
2) The type of planet
3) The distance relative to the largest and nearest star (the Goldilocks Zone)
4) What type of star it is close to
5) The planet's age
By adjusting the distance from its star, the star type, the planet’s age and size, you can determine if your planet is habitable [by human-like creatures] or not. When you’re done playing around with the sliders, click on the little camera icon to take a snapshot of your very own planet. If your planet is too small or too far from a star, then you create a cold icy planet that may not be able to sustain life. If your planet is too close...singe.
Your goal is to make a habitable planet by adding enough water, atmosphere and clouds to reach a global average temperature of about 15°C (59°F). You can mix and match, add or remove water, atmosphere or clouds.
Click an item from the right side (red panel) to add that element
Click an item in the left to remove that element
HINT You must put at least 3 clouds by the planet!!
After each click, it will take a few seconds for the planet to reach a stable, balanced temperature.
Post how many years it took you to make the planet livable. Use a complete sentence and remember your name.
Please watch the following trailer. While you watch it, cling on to your seats. Think about all the characters we have come across in the book so far...
Imagine you are Peter Jackson, the director of the this movie, and you are having to do the casting of the characters.
Pick a character from Mortal Engines.

Hester Shaw
Katherine Valentine
Magnus Crome
Thaddeus Valentine
Anna Fang
Captain Khora
Sythia

In 2 paragraphs (4-6 complete sentences per paragraph) you are to describe what your character looks like (their physical appearance) and what their personality is like (character traits).
In paragraph one, concentrate on their physical appearance and focus on the following:
You have a test on Thursday. As review, take Quizzes 1 to 4, 6 and 7, and make a note of any questions you get wrong in Google Docs. Pick one from each quiz and post comments on why you got it wrong and what you understand now...
Grade 6's go to this page for Chapter 6 (Ratio and Percent) and work through quizzes that cover all of the main subjects in the recent unit in Math that we are currently working through.
