Q R Codes Term 4

QR Codes!

On Monday 15,^th Room1 learnt how to do QR Codes with Mrs. Prescot     our ICT teacher.

This is what a QR Code looks like this:

        Handy Hints                    Answer

How muchmore do you pay to mail a first-class letter by U.S. Postal Service today than your great-grandfather would have on November 3, 1917?

Please have a go but don’t bother if you don’t have an ipad.

 

First you use the keywords and use them to find out the answer, then go on Google and type the keywords then your answer will probably come up.

Then if you have an ipad you can scan picture, (QR code) then you will get your answer. But you do need a special app to do this.

In Term 4 we will be looking at some different features of poetry including rhyme, similes, metaphors, alliteration and personification. 

Your task is to choose a poem of interest. Then to memorize and present it back to the class. The poem needs to have 4 stanzas or more and be suitable for sharing back to class.

Please have this ready by the end of week 1.

We will start to look at at the features and present poems in week 2.
