I learnt ALL ABOUT MRS ANDERSON, I learnt a lot about Mrs Anderson what her hobbies were and what she liked and disliked and heaps more, we had to create a google Drawing create a brainstorm and Mrs Anderson would tell us about her self and we would write it.
One activity I did was the Collage Presentation, One of my favorite activity was Collage presentation we had to go on the google images get a collage example and from, that we drag it to our presentation and write what we see in that picture we had to do 5 of those.
I learnt about the Photo Booth how to use it, this was so fun because we would take pictures of ourselves and save it to the desktop I also lernt how to use it by following the instructions that our teacher Mrs Anderson told us to write. I learnt about the Sketching Instructions. This was quite fun because Mrs Anderson would tell us what to write and than we would create a google document, and write what she said and follow those instructions.
