DTE Project

 In DTE we having been constructing a project using Sphero. Our project idea was to make a drag race with the Spheros. We are using cardboard for the Race track and then we will put obstacles in so it's harder for the Spheros to get to the finish line. 

Novel essay

 The novel Children of B&B by Tomi Adeyemi is about a young girl trying to keep magic alive for Orisha.

In the text, the relationship between Zelie and Amari helped me to understand the character of Zelie.

This is because it showed me that she isn’t scared to fight anyone that gets in her way, she starts to be nice to Amari.

The incident of Zelie and Amari meeting each other at the market helped me to understand the important idea of Bravery because it showed me that Zelie had the guts to break Amari out.	We see this in the text when Zelie grabs onto Amari’s arm and drags her into a clothing stall.	This means that Zelie cares enough to help her survive.

Three ways that Amari has changed through the book is, her attitude towards Zelie and Tzain. I mean this in a way of respect and love, she now considers Tzain as her partner and Zelie more of a new Binta which is very hard too believe from where they started off wanting too kill each other too becoming a very strong team. My second explanation is Amari has completely broken out of her shell from being a shy and very quite and unphased girl too a warrior fighter basically overnight really has shaped her and her attitude towards the reality of the life outside of the palace. Lastly Amari’s learned whilst being with Tzain and Zelie and meeting all the effected diviners and maji that her fathers vision is horrible and evil, she was able to get past his crazy lifestyle and realise she can build her own future and decide on her own what she needs and wants to do.

Blog post: Our group's chosen character is Amari, we decided on this particular character because of her changes throughout the journey of bringing magic back and so on. From being this shy broken girl too becoming an absolute warrior has been a very amazing transformation for Amari, having too betray her royal family for the safe sake of magic and the diviners have really given her the opportunity to show her own potential and brush off that horrible attitude and mindset her fathers pushed on her for her whole life. Including convincing her brother that he doesn't have to be like their father King Saran, they can choose their own pathway.
