Hello bloggers!
Welcome back to Somya’s blog!
Today I have been doing my SLJ task!
Today we had to create our own animal trickster!
Yes, we were told that we could either make it digitally or drawing.
But because I am in a car drive that’s why I made it digitally!
I have done this task on the DLO of a Google drawing.
Rather than always using the polyline as our chromebook’s also have a option for shapes I have used shapes to make this!
I used a image off Google and tryed to copy it onto my Google drawing.
As it is a bit bad I have left the image there so you can see what I tryed to make and how it turned out.
I have enjoyed this task and would rate it a 8/10.
The reason why I would rate it a 8/10 because I really tried my best and had alot of fun but because it didn’t turn out the best…
The way I have out this onto my blog is by embedding the link as this is a Google drawing!
Oh yes the most important thing I have made the Anansi (or Ananse) from west African (Akan) folklore spider!
Yes the Anansi Spider is a trickster insect, it’s trick is that it uses it’s knowledge to outsmart larger/bigger predetaor so that it remains safe.
I have also put the photo of the bagde that I have earned from this task, it is below the image of my work.
So this draws me near to the end of my task, if you enjoyed please don’t forget to comment something helpful, positive and thoughtful!
Thankyou and Bye bye!
The badge that I have earned from this task is here!
Kia ora, Somya! It is brilliant to see your Anansi the Spider creation for the Summer Learning Journey at Wigram Primary School.
I am so impressed that you managed to complete this task while you were in a car! That is such a productive way to spend a journey. Your decision to use Google Drawing and build the character using shapes instead of the polyline tool was very clever. The final result is very bold and clean. Choosing Anansi (or Ananse) from West African folklore was a fantastic choice for an animal trickster. He is one of the most famous tricksters in the world! Rating your work an 8/10 shows you have a great attitude toward your learning. For a drawing done in a moving vehicle, it looks spectacular!
Since you mentioned that Anansi uses his knowledge to outsmart larger predators, you might find this interesting:
Did you know? In many West African legends, Anansi is considered the “God of all Stories.” One famous story tells of how he used his cleverness to perform impossible tasks to win all the world’s stories from the Sky God!
Mālō nō te hā’ao (Well done on the effort), Somya! Keep up the fantastic blogging.
Ngā mihi,
Zana
