** MY REFLECTION **
My mother says that I have brilliant expression, but I think I have a little way to go. . . . . I guess I have to decide on a new goal now! It was a bit hard, especially since I don't like using Fotobabble because technology never works for me. **//BUT IT DID!//**

Here are the first two books in one of my favourite series. This is the Fire series and it is about a young man called David Rain. He is a University student in the small town of Scrubbley. But his very peaceful life is about to end as he moves in with Liz a pottery dragon maker and Lucy, her daughter. But soon weird things start happening as the cat Bonnington shape changes and Liz's dragons start coming to life. He is made his own dragon as a gift which can change the future. But as David bonds with this family, he realises that they are all in danger.

Quiz Reflection Questions

Explain the task
In groups we had to read a book week shortlisted book and develop questions based on the book. Then we had to choose a suitable quiz website and use it to make our shortlisted book quiz. Our book was "For all creatures"

What did you enjoy most about this task?
Actually making the quiz was a lot of fun although when I run through it now I see quite a lot of typos.

What was your biggest challenge?
Making the questions would have to have been the biggest challenge because it was hard to even think of the questions needed and then in the middle of the task I had to change the most difficult question of all because someone else had done it.

Which skill did you find the most useful?
The skill I found the most useful is probably fast typing because whenever we went to do the quiz we were always near the end of the end of the lesson, so it was probably the reason we finished at all.

List 2 ways this task could help you in your future learning?
1. It helped me to develop some difficult questions so it could help me again later on in question asking. 2. It helped me learn about selecting a website to use, for example, we had to use a sheet to determine which quiz we were going to use and that sheet really helped

What did you enjoy most about this task? I enjoyed looking for music because lots of the tunes were either funny or really relaxing especially Cold killer A.K.A James Bond music.
 * __Reflection __**

What was your biggest challenge? Our biggest challenge was finding the Hunger Games images on Flickrcc because lots of the images on Flickrcc are different to the ones on Google images so we had to try heaps of different names to get the images we wanted.

What skills did you learn during this task? I learnt how to use Freeplay music and that Freeplay music isn't that bad, it's actually quite good.
