Interactive ( Martin Luther King Jr )

L.I: To write information about Activist

This week for inquiry we were learning about Activist. The Activist that I was learning about was Martin Luther King Jr. For this inquiry task we had to get into groups of 3. The students that I grouped up with was Sandra, Ellenora, and Me. We also wrote is History, and also his Philosophy. 

After when we finished all those information we then did the quiz. We did 3 Questions. What you can do is that you can go on to present and you can pick any question that you want to choose. When you click the box it would show you the question. 

Some of the questions are basic and the other one is a normal question. This inquiry task was easy and hard to do. The easy bit is writing all the information, but the hard bit is linking the boxes to the right answer.

When we were finished with this slide we had to present it in front of the class. We were shy but we just gave a try. We had to have the same amount to speak. Sandra was talking about the Biography and His life style, i was reading about his history, and Ellenora was talking about his philosophy.

The pit that we were on was pit 1.

They know were we jump because we jump on sand. Then me and Fau went to high Jump. Its when there is a big comfortable bag and a medal pole that is above the bad.  The hardest it about it is that we need to jump over the pole. So the goal is to try and not make the pole fall. We only have simple turns so if we get called out we need to go and jump.

When we were finished we went back to the classes. I had to wait in till we could do 75m sprint.When It was time we had to go and sit next to the track. The coaches will call out our names and we will have to sit in a line. When we got lined up on the track the coach said "On your Mark get set go".
