Today for Writing I did enchanted forest. What we had to do was make a story about us being in an enchanted forest. We had to choose names for creatures and places we see while looking for a treasure. My treaure was the jasper chest. Press on the link to see my writing.
My highlight was finding names for the creatures and the treasure.
My lowlight was having to think about what i’m going to write about.
Quote of the day: Don’t take the elevator, take the stairs.
The 20 Minute City
Introduction:
Do you know what a 20 minute city is? Well let me tell you that a 20 minute city will be accessible and it will make life easier. Everything you need will be within reach in 20 minutes. This would lead to something like if you need to use the bathroom or need to go to the supermarket you can just, take a little walk outside for 20 minutes and find your destination. A 20 minute city is basically where you can access any facilities you need. Everyone and anyone can access it if they live in a 20 minute city.
Information #1 – Health:
A key benefit of living in a 20 minute city helps with your health. If you’re sick you can just take a 20 minute walk to the doctors or any other place to make yourself feel pumped up. If there is less transport then elderly and sick people will be able to breathe in clean, fresh air. It also helps because if you’re sick you can access medical care really easily. Living in a 20 minute city helps advertise more physical activities like swimming. This can also help people get Vitamin D while being in the sun which also releases what we call endorphins. Everyone in a 2o minute city really need
Information #2 – Reducing Vehicle Dependency:
Another key benefit of living in a 20 minute city helps reduce the use of vehicle dependency, meaning that you wouldn’t have much use of your car in the city getting to places you need to get to. This helps save both money and time getting in and out of places. Reducing vehicle dependency can also help people not get into traffic when people are crossing the road. When cars are reduced from the city it also means that it would be a good opportunity to advertise physical activities. Such as, Cycling, Scootering, walking and more. Less transportation makes the city better because there will be less emissions/pollution in our city and it will make the air more cleaner. This will be very good for travellers who can just walk around the city for just 20 minutes and they will find whatever they need. Travellers will also enjoy this time just travelling the city for 20 minutes and exploring the city just by walking or cycling.
Information #3 – Greater Accessibility:
Speaking about reducing vehicle dependency, let’s talk about how you can get greater accessibility from 20 minute cities. Everyone is welcomed to visit facilities in 20 minutes, mostly for elderly people who need help with medicine or food. Elderly people are mostly left at home with no one to watch or feed them. This is good for the elderly people so they can have a little walk to make them feel much better & healthy. Other people might also be disabled and cannot c0ok because of their disability. Everyone can also have access anytime within 20 minutes, anyone who lives far away from work can have access applying to another job 20 minutes away from them. Anyone who is a tourist in a 20 minute city is really good, they don’t have to ask people where the bathroom is or where to find food. All they need to do is just search up where it is or if there’s signs, they can just follow the sign wherever it leads them.
Conclusion – Add everything together:
A 20 minute city is basically where you can access any facilities you need. Everyone and anyone can access it if they live in a 20 minute city. Anyone who is a tourist in a 20 minute city is really good, they don’t have to ask people where the bathroom is or where to find food.When cars are reduced from the city it also means that it would be a good opportunity to advertise physical activities. Such as, Cycling, Scootering, walking and more. Everyone is welcomed to visit facilities in 20 minutes, mostly for elderly people who need help with medicine or food. Elderly people are mostly left at home with no one to watch or feed them.
My highlight was being able to finish the task really fast as it was pretty easy. Yet a lot of people were confused on what order it went in and they were stuck on it for a bit. I had a really good start to our reading session and I loved how well the people on our table worked together and shared their ideas with each other so I don’t have a low light from today’s maths lesson. As I said before it was a good maths lesson and I don’t have anything to work on today. After that I completed the task, and I posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.
Task description: Today for writing I did Free choices. It was really fun trying out new creative free choice tasks to do! I’m supposed to pick only 2 free choice tasks but I did 4 instead because I finished all my work. My first choice was if I could see one color for the rest of my life what would it be? My Second free choice task was what I would do if I won 2 million dollars. My third free choice was make a poem about something gross. My last free choice task was to pretend you are stranded on a desert Island. Write a story about your experiences. Let me know if you guys would like a part 2 of pretend you are stranded on a desert Island. Write a story about your experiences.
My highlight was writing the story about what I would do if I won 2 million dollars. My lowlight was thinking of what tasks to do because they were all fantastic choices. Something I’ll work on next time is nothing, I think I did great this week. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!
Task description: This week during Writing, I did a Vocabulary Swap. What we had to do was fill a table with 10 adjectives and/or verbs, then your friend ( Zaria was mine) and they will give you their 10 verbs and/or adjectives. We then had to make a story with those words and bold them. It was really fun to do because our stories came out good.
My highlight was making a story out of random words. My low light was that my friend hated the words she had but in the end she worked it out. Something for us to work on is trying to give harder words to each other. After that we completed the task, we posted it on our blog. I enjoyed this task very much, and I hope to do more like this soon. Hope you enjoyed. Please leave a comment; thank you for visiting my blog.

Suspenseful Writing
It was a nice sunny day in Afghanistan. The sun was bright and shiny over the houses. It smelt like fresh bread that came right out of the oven. There was a boy next to me named Adam. He moved his mouth and spoke to me. Adam had nice black straight hair, he was 1 inch taller than me and had nice green eyes. Adam was wondering where the fresh bread scent came from.“Hey there, Do you know where that bread scent is coming from?”. Adam asked me in a smooth way with some shivers. I replied “ No, no I don’t sorry”. We sat at a bench and got some cold drinks.
We talked about how we might be related or if we have anything in common. We both like football a lot, and we also enjoyed cooking. Cooking is the best. We went to my house and made some chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen. My family really likes chocolate chip cookies. We then played some football at the field. We enjoyed our day a lot, I then asked him if he wanted a night over at my house. He said yeah sure why not, We went to sleep fast.
The next morning, Adam and I made breakfast for my family. We made some nice crunchy grilled cheese, waffles, pancakes and a sweet huge red velvet cake. We all had breakfast together as a big family. We were laughing and having so much fun. Adam looked like he was having a lot of fun too. We then went outside and played a game of hide and seek with Adam and my siblings. I was the seeker, I counted to 30 and went hunting for them.
(Wind blowing) The leaves were flying all over the place, I saw someone run across my face. I was so frightened but, I still went to check if they were still there. I went to check and no one was there. I was scared at first until someone said my name. “Swaimah” Someone whispered. I was so scared that I screamed and ran away. As I was running away I heard footsteps behind me. When I went to look There was no one. Then Someone said “run now or I’ll kill you”. I didn’t run because I was tired and There was no one behind me. As I took a step forward,I screamed “HELP ME”
The End!!

Restoring Old Dolls
I worked at the doll factory that restored old dolls. One night as I was working late at 3am, I came across a strange doll. It has shiny golden locks and big glowy eyes that seemed to follow me as I moved around. And its red lips appeared to be hiding a smile. I carefully inspected for defects but couldn’t find any, it looked as good as new. So, I put it inside a box. Then began working on another doll. But all of a sudden, I noticed the glass fog up.
My heart skipped a beat and my body became as hot as lava. Before I could do anything the light turned off. “Isabelle,” it whispered my name. “ I am alive, You can’t find me, You’ll soon be gone” She let out a mysterious laugh. I am really frightened and standing there like I’m frozen. I heard a clicking noise coming from the glass box, That I added the doll in. That was when I lost it and sprinted to the main door. As I tried to open the door it was locked! There was nowhere out. In front of me appeared that same doll with a wide grin on her face.
“Hahaha, Now what are you going to do, You’re alone with me, Nowhere to get out” She screamed. I, WAS, FREAKING, OUT! I went to find a window but then, As soon as I touched the window, It sharded. Glass separated everywhere and, out came some black smoke from the window and filled up the whole factory. There was smoke everywhere and I couldn’t see anything. And as I turned around the creepy little doll popped out into my face. I jumped in fear and screamed my lungs out. I was super scared that I bumped my head onto the wall, I fainted. The little Doll never did anything. All she did was give me this medicine. It tasted like honey mixed with some pepper.
When I woke up the doll was smiling and giggling, saying “Oh my god! Isabelle you’re awake, now it’s time for you to come with me to my secret room”. I stood up and followed the doll. As I was following her I felt really different. I didn’t feel like my normal self, when I looked down I was wearing some sort of doll clothes. As we entered the room there were lots of doll clothes, shoes and wigs lying around the room. I was confused for a while and I saw the doll pushing me forward. She gave me some clothes to wear, I then went ahead in the bathroom and changed my clothes.
I looked in the mirror and I looked BEAUTIFUL! I have never looked this pretty before! I was so happy jumping around with excitement. I exited the bathroom and showed the doll my clothes, I told her I loved it. “Hey look at me, I look so beautiful with these clothes on. How do you think I look?” I said with happiness.
“Oh Isabelle you’re beautiful! Now come and wear this wig and these pretty shoes” The doll said. I went to the doll and she put the wig on for me. As I looked in the mirror again I had brunette hair with some highlights. I then wore my blue sparkly shoes that had glitter on them. I was dancing around with joy. The doll put some makeup on me and I looked even more gorgeous. I was wearing a blue dress with white flowers, a brunette wig with highlights, some sparkly blue shoes & Beautiful blue glittery makeup! I was super happy and weird at the same time. I think that pill she gave me changed my personality!
I don’t know what to do, I started to think about how I fainted and what happened. I looked in the mirror one more time and I screamed. “ AHHHHHHHH! YOU TURNED ME INTO A DOLLLLLLL!!!” I screamed my lungs out. I went back into the bathroom, changed my clothes, wore my shoes, took off my wig & washed my Makeup Away. I ran and saw my boss, Anna. I lost my breath and couldn’t talk, Anna was freaking out. She asked me what happened, I explained everything to her outside. She was so confused and felt so sorry for me. I told her I am not working at the factory anymore. She then tried to convince me to stay. I said sorry and I left.
