Hello!
its Ryder and week six in the student blogging challenge has finally arrived. This weeks challenge is all about emojis. If you don’t know, an emoji is a small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, etc. Emojis are used everywhere in the world from Asia to the Americas. Emojis are said to be used like a second language in the digital world. I myself tend to use emojis in texting as a lazy way of responding. This weeks tasks were all about getting familiar with these tools and some interesting activities that you can do by using emojis. I decided to only complete the last three tasks due to my disliking of task 1. My first task that I finished was the emoji guessing game.
For this task we were told to make a guessing game out of emojis that translated to some sort of word. A few ideas for this prompt were:
- Book title
- Movie title
- Book/movie character
- Food
- Word
- Phrase
- Country
- Idiom
I decided to make a quiz that depicts famous athletes around the world. Due to my love sports which you probably already know from my all about me post, I thought that this would be a great idea for this task. Below I have added my quiz. Make sure to comment your answers below!
The second task that I completed in this weeks challenge was the emoji math problem. For this prompt we were required to either make a math problem using emojis or solve one online using solvemoji.com. Due solving similar math problems in the past, I have experience with this prompt. I decided to creat my own emoji math problem using this website. It is quite challenging so put on your thinking caps!
The fourth and final task was definitely my favourite to make out of this weeks challenge. I thought that this prompt was the most enjoyable to construct and turned out to look very good. Our task was to choose between drawing an emoji or to make a drawing out of emojis using emoji.ink. I decided to draw the thinking emoji in sketches pro.
Overall I thought that this weeks challenge was one of my favourites so far due to how useful these skills will be in the future. Throughout this weeks challenge I have came to like emojis a bit more and I now know that I will use them much more often. Make sure to comment your thoughts and your answers to the questions above.
Bye!
Hi Ryder,
My class skipped the Emoji week because we were teaching a “Show, Don’t Tell” lesson to sixth-graders, but now I’m thoroughly regretting that decision. So far, I’ve visited only TWO blogs, and both of the posts have been amazing. I’m so impressed. My favorite part of your post is the slideshow quiz. I’m not familiar with Mike Trout, so I missed him. Plus, I pathetically missed Shaquille O’Neal, which when I revisited the slide with the hints, is inexcusable. 🙂 That was a perfect emoji hint! I’ll definitely share your post with my class, so we can tackle this challenge as our “Week 9!”
Okay, I have to admit that I have two favorites. I love your custom-drawn emoji, too. Thanks for investing time and effort to turn out a smashingly creative post, Ryder.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Mrs. Rombach from Virginia

Hi Mrs. Rombach!
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback. I personally had a lot of fun completing week six and I am glad you enjoyed it. The slide show quiz was my favourite too! I’m so happy to hear that you liked my post.
Thanks again,
