Where are my family? I predict they are running as well.

When will I see them again? I predict he will see them when he gets to the other country.

Question 3

Nya's journey is hard and tiring. On the way there she can drag the empty container behind her or do other things with it. But on the way back the container is full and heavy meaning she has to carry it on her head. I would feel really pressured because every one is relying on you.

Question 4

They tell themselves apart with the symbols on there face and their language.

We tell ourselves apart with language, accent and uniform.

Narrative Animation

In home room we have been doing a narrative assessment. First we had to plan our narrative. Then we had to write our story. We then had to make an animation about our story. Then finally we had to record us playing our narrative while reading our story using Screencastify. Something I have learnt in this process is about how to improve my narrative writing, and also how to make a detailed narrative animation. This was also my first time using screencastify. I learnt that timing was important when trying to do my narrative voiceover.
