Are you ready to see our final humanities project for grade 8? Well if you are lets get straight to it.

How Does Language Inspire Adventure?

Language inspires adventure because you can communicate your adventure to others which sparks others interests! We learned this through the power of advertisement by making ads for places we visit! 

Quarry Rock!

Quarry rock is where our first advertisement started. To prepare for Oregon we made an advertisement for Quarry Rock, a place in deep cove.  If you ever have time check it out see this link:  https://www.vancouvertrails.com/trails/quarry-rock/.

Anyway in my ad I focused on the thought of how one adventure can turn into many more. So check out my first draft of this advertisement.

I know this first draft definitely needs to be fixed . This is the hardest part of the project taking feed back and applying it. So for this ad my feed back was: drop the background, make the image the big picture. So this is my second draft!

Now that I had done my second draft we had another round of feedback! My critique was to remove all borders and delete all the extra text and change it to Quarry Rock. Check out my final draft! What do you think?

Oregon!

Now we need to make an ad about Oregon, but how can we make an ad about Oregon when we haven’t been to Oregon? So that’s just what we did, we went to Oregon! We made a book about Oregon, we recorded most places we went to check it out, my favourite part of Oregon was the zip lining: 

Making the ads for our Spring Exhibition! 

Now in PLP we have to do an end of the year spring exhibition and we are presenting ads in a group, my group was Siena, Elsa, Sam, and Cole! Now we actually need to make the ads, for the ads, each group was given a theme for there ad. Ours was excitement and escape! So of course we had to relate it to zip lining (sadly I did not do that in my first draft) in Oregon cause that was the most exciting part of Oregon. Check out my ad:

Now I had to critique my ad ten times, so I’m going to save you 10 minutes and tell you what my whole ad needed. My ad needed the picture to be adjusted and changed, the words in the slogan needed to become curved, the white text to become bigger and be moved to the bottom, so I could add zip lining to the picture. Here’s mine and my groups finals drafts:

Spring exhibition prep!

To get ready for the spring exhibition we needed to make a moving ad, print out our final ads, have an inactive element, something to make our campaign shine, and food (mandatory for every exhibition to have food). So we each took on separate challenges Elsa made the Moving ad check out the video:

Siena and I made an interactive Zip line that delivers a water balloon to someone at the exhibition and they got to throw it at one of our group members. The reason we did a water element is that when we went zip lining we got dunked in water on one of the zip lines. Siena and I also made a balloon Arc to make our campaign shine. Heres a picture of the balloon arc:

Sam made an interactive pamphlet for others to look at and Cole was designed a t-shirt. Last but not least the food we decided to serve cookies was apple juice because half way through the zip lining they gave us that exact meal!

Spring exhibition!

Sadly I couldn’t be there for the actual exhibition but here is a picture of my group at the exhibition!(I did help with set-up).

Answer to the driving question!

Laungaue inspires adventure because what is adventure without telling everyone or suggesting it to one another. If you see an inspiring text about a places in history or a mountain then you will go for the challenge/adventure. I learned this through going to Oregon because the teachers made us really excited about zip lining. So naturally that made it one of the most waited for activities. This is why I think language inspires adventure!

That was my spring exhibition make sure to check out my other blog posts!
