Papyrus AI Writing


Today we used Papyrus AI to help us write a narrative. Papyrus AI is a generative AI which predicts words and patterns. It uses a LLM which is short for Large Language Model. Papyrus AI helped us combine the stories of Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood. I liked using Papyrus AI because it gave me feedback about what I needed to work on straight away.

A Journey of Friendship: Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there were two girls who went to the same school and were best friends. Their names were Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White. Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood looked at the school and saw it looked very gloomy yet full of bright colours. They began exploring around the school, touching the beautiful art. After they touched the beautiful art, they said amongst themselves, “This beautiful art feels amazing.”

One day, Snow White visited Little Red Riding Hood, who was told that unfortunately, her grandma was sick. Little Red Riding Hood and her best friend, Snow White, were asked to deliver some freshly baked muffins to her grandma. As they were walking, they were approached by a wolf, who asked, “Where are you heading to?”

Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood felt scared and terrified when they saw the big wolf as they were heading to Little Red Riding Hood’s grandma’s house. As they walked, they heard mumbling in the bushes but thought nothing of it. Upon arriving at grandma’s house, they entered with excitement. However, they soon noticed something different about her. Little Red Riding Hood asked, “Grandma, your ears look so big,” to which grandma replied, “Yes, to hear you more clearly.” Snow White then asked, “Why are your eyes so big?” Grandma responded, “So I can see you more clearly.” As they got closer, they both asked, “Why is your mouth so big?” Grandma replied, “SO I CAN EAT YOU!” Terrified, they immediately ran out, screaming, and bumped into a woodcutter. The woodcutter instantly helped the girls by grabbing the wolf by its leg, turning the wolf upside down, and giving it a good shake. Amazingly, their real grandma came flying out of the wolf’s mouth.

Then, the wolf was chased all around the woods by grandma, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, and the woodcutter, and was never found ever again. Then, they lived happily ever after. The end.

 

Simple Compound Sentence

LI: To explore sentence structure.

For this task we learnt about a Compound Sentence and a simple sentence. All sentences begin with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. A simple sentence has a noun and a verb. A noun is a name of something you can physically touch and a verb is a action you can physically touch. A compound sentence uses two sentences combained for example ” I went to the shop and brought a drink ” The conjunction word here is “and “. Here are some examples for a conjunction words ” For, And, Nor, But,Or,Yet, So”.

I found this task interesting because I got to learn what is in a Compound sentence and a simple sentence.

 

Two words Two minutes

Today we used the ‘2 words 2 minute’ challenge to write a description about the ancient olympics. After talking in pairs about the things we already knew about the ancient  olympics. that would help us write our description. We chose the words ‘Greece’ and ‘athletes’ to help us think about what we were going to write. We talked about ideas with a partner, then we had 2 minutes to put those ideas into sentences.  After the time was up we had 2 minutes to reread what we had written and make changes if anything didn’t make sense or if we had words and punctuation in the wrong place. When we finished checking we had 2 more minutes to carry on writing our descriptions.

I found this activity interesting because it was challenging me in writting as fast as I could.

Persuasive Language Features

LI: To explore the language features of a Persuasive text.

This year we have been learning about persuasive writing. Persuasive writing actually helps you get prepared for a speech.It also helps you get more confidence and prepared, Persuasive writing is used when you are trying to convince people to believe to agree with you and think like you. I think authors use this language feature to make the audience feel interested to what you are telling them about. Something I found interesting in this task was learning about persuasive writing.

Maori Wardens

LI: to evaluate  the facts and make and informed opinion

A provacation is and action or a speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic, Provications are used in titles to hook the reader by making them think about their feelings about a topic. Our Provacation topic was ” Do Maori wardens make a diffrent?”. We had to read articles to see either if they make a difference in New Zealand. We had to see the two perspectives of the situation. And made our own opinion.

I found this task really intresting because I learnt about the Maori wardens.

Information report: Begal swamp tigers

We used our smart searching skills to search about begnal swamp tigers

LI: To write and information report that informs the reader about the animal

We used our smart searching skills to search facts about begnal swamp tigers then we turned those facts into sentences with our own words then we used those fact to help us write our information reports.Information reports give readers with information on a chosen topic by providing them with facts.

The Swamp Tigers

Swamp tigers are known as (Panthera tigris tigris)  these creatures are the rarest, and unique beast. Swamp tigers are located in Mangrove forest, an area between India and Benagla. Have you ever wondered what they do when they hunt?

Swamp tigers have layers of fur that are orange and black that keeps them warm and helps them camouflage when humans approche. These creatures are welled skilled at hunting, and have Sharp retractable claws. Did you know swamp tigers are very excellent at swimming?

These creatures are carnivores, which means (Meat only) it eats crabs, buffalo, birds, turtles, deer, wild boar, including otters. (Wild boar are wild pigs) And food is hard to find, near mangrove forest, Swamp tigers don’t eat other animals besides the meat they usually eat. These creatures will see humans as prey. They also have (seafood) in their diet meaning they also eat (crabs, and fish).

As you know swamp tigers lives in Mangrove forest, between India, and bangladesh, Which is their living habitat. Panthera tigris tigris can be found in muddy places, hot countries, wet areas like salt water, It can be also found at  (Asian Continent) 

Where else can you find swamp Tigers?

The Bengal swamp tigers are Solitary animals that mark their senses. They are also Protective about themselves and they are fearless, they are about Living alone. 

Are you aware swamp tigers are as scared of humans as humans are scared of swamp tigers?

Swamp tigers are very interesting and unique creatures. These tigers will be gone if we expand and effect their habitat, which is damaging and taking their natural land, and If we keep destroying their habitat these tigers will get affected.

 Do you agree and feel the same way? 

Moment in time planner

LI: to write a poem that describes as moment in time.

To write a Moment in time poem, you would need to imagine that you are inn that situation right now. To write this Moment in Time Poem, we watched a video of  a man in a safe looking cube, and outside of that safe zone is the huge enormous polar bear. We used senses such as Auditory, Visual, Tactile, and what thoughts would pop up in our head if we were in that situation.

I enjoyed this activity because it made me use adjectives to make this poem have detail.

Sentence structure

From this challenge I have learnt that I need to learn the differents between compound and complex sentences, I have a clear understanding of simple sentences, One of my examples for a simple sentences is… The man ran up the stairs.  I have tried my best but I think I could do better.

From this task I found it really interesting because it helped me learn about the differents of simple complex compound  sentences.

Provocation – Theft of 96 medals

LI : To evaluate the facts and make an informed opinion.

A Provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Our Provocation for this topic was “Did the punishment fit the crime”. We read articles explaining the crime that 2 men have comitted. We came up with a short summary explaining the information we’ve learnt. We came up with our own opinion and made 2 perspectives. Perspective A and B, with both sides having two different strong opinions.

For this task I found it really enjoyable because we got to learn about Queen victoria and about the Maori wardens.

Sentence Structure

For this task we learnt about Simple sentences. Simple sentences include nouns and verbs. A noun is the name of something, or something you can physically touch. An example of a simple sentence could be, “The cat sat on the mat”. The noun would be the cat and mat, and the verb would be sat. A Compound sentence includes two simple sentences that are joined by using conjunction words. Like for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. An example of a Compound sentence would be “The cat sat on the mat and the dog laid beside the mat”. A Complex sentence includes independent clauses and dependent clauses. With a word from AAAWWWUBBIS. From this challenge I can see  that I have a clear understanding of Simple and Compound Sentences. I now know that I need to focus on Complex sentences.

I found this task interesting because I got to learn what is included in a simple sentences.
