PapyrusAI

For this task we used PapyrusAi to help create and mix together two stories. PapyrusAI is a generative AI that creates ideas by using patterns in our words and a LLM (Large Language Model). We also used our knowledge of two fairy tales to create a mix of the two stories. I really liked that the AI gave me suggestions to help me improve my writing by prompting me to explore my ideas in more detail.

Little Red Riding Hood meets Snow White

While walking back home after dropping off food for her grandma, Little Red Riding Hood saw a dark figure in the distance walking towards her. She tried to run away but she tripped and twisted her ankle. As the figure gets closer and closer, she thinks that  this might be the end for her. However, instead of a beast, she sees a young woman carrying a basket of flowers. The woman introduces herself as Snow White and asks if Red Riding Hood is okay, noticing her swollen ankle.

Snow White brings Red Riding Hood to a safe place and asks, “So why are you out in the forest?” Red Riding Hood responds, “Well, I left home to try and find some friends.” Snow White replies, “Well, tomorrow I’ll walk you home.”

The next day, when Snow White wakes up, she sees that Red Riding Hood has baked muffins to thank her. They soon arrive back home, and Red Riding Hood’s mother is happy that she is safe. She decides to be less strict and allow Red Riding Hood to find friends.

In the end, Red Riding Hood is playing outside with many of her friends. Her mother looks on, smiling and laughing, happy that her daughter has found people she can trust.

 

The Importance of Sleep

For this task we created a DLO and researched why sleep is so important and vital for humans. The reason why we sleep is to let our brain reset and relax, but many people don’t sleep at the correct time which stops them from resetting their brain which causes them to have headaches in the morning, stress and fatigue. Our brain knows when to sleep because of light, when it is daytime our brain knows to stay active but when it’s night our brain knows it’s time to sleep but technology gets in the way because of the bright LEDS that confuses our brain and many people around don’t get the right amount of sleep which can cause diabetes, Migrans, heart disease, Kidney problems and in some rare cases strokes. Some way we can stop this from happening is by sleeping earlier, not using our devices 1 hour before we go to sleep and not staying up often. there is something called jet lag and that is when someone flies to another country which a much different time zone an example is is I flew to america from New Zealand your brain would think that it is still daytime even though it is night in America but we can stop this by taking short naps to help our brain adjust. 

I found this task interesting as i got to know why we sleep and the side effect if we don’t

Rosie Ruiz

LI: To skim and scan to find facts and make notes in my own words

LI: To reorganize your information

LI: To ask questions about a text to strengthen your connections

LI: to make connections 

For this task we learnt about the famous boston runner that cheated to win. The runners name is Rosie Ruiz, we first read the text on how and why she cheated. The reason why she cheated was to not become last as all the other runners would easily dust her. And the way that she cheated was by getting dropped off by a car, her plan was to be dropped off in the middle of the pack of runners. But little did she know she miscalculated and got dropped off a mile ahead of the other runners. When we read the text we wrote comments about how she most likely felt why she may have done it and why. 

I found this task fun as I got to collaborate with my group to discuss how and why Rosie cheated.

Born To Run

LI: To identify the main ideas – negotiation game

LI: To make inferences about the events in the text using the clues provided by the author.

Our guided reading text was born to run. We worked collaboratively as a group to unpack the text and answer questions using evidence from the text to support our thinking. All our responses were written in the comments tool.

I responded to a question that says “nice answers, have you ever had a coach with these qualities” and I responded “no i haven’t been coach by someone with these particular qualities”

Something I found interesting about this text was that Arthur Lyinards training unique because he would run differnt disstances at differnt paces and in difernt places.
