Exploring AI in Writing

In this activity, we used AI to write a story. We combined the story of Snow White and the Little Red Riding Hood. We used Papyrus AI to help us write this. Papyrus AI is a generative AI used to predict by looking at the patterns we use. We used our knowledge of the two fairy tales and followed the feedback to construct the new fairytale. I really liked how the AI gave reasonable and helpful suggestions to help make our fairytales better. I also like the way it gives me feedback straight away. Altought sometimes, the AI generated feedbacks with words that I don’t understand or have not heard of. But I think this might be a way to help me learn new vocubalaries.

Snow White and The Red Riding Hood’s journey

Once upon a time, there was a king and a queen who lived in a large castle in a kingdom. The kingdom was peaceful with people in harmony, surrounded by green forests, streams, mountains, and hills. Together they had a beautiful daughter whose skin was white as snow. Her name is Snow White.

Unfortunately, the queen died shortly after giving birth to Snow White. The king was sad and devastated over the loss of his wife. His sadness was like a dark cloud over the kingdom. To grieve his loss, he remarried another woman. She was beautiful and pretty, but she was very cruel and selfish. She was always mean to Snow White behind the king’s back. Snow White always tried to be nice to her stepmother, but she would get the opposite treatment. Every day, the stepmother would look at the mirror and say, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” The mirror would always reply, “It’s you, my queen.”

One day, unfortunately, the king passed away, and the new queen took control of the kingdom, leading it into darkness. Her ruling techniques were cruel, and lots of people disliked her. She was always selfish about sharing resources such as food, dairy products, and clothing. This led to fights between people, eventually making the kingdom fall apart. Snow White was devastated by her father’s passing. She was unsure of her stepmother’s ways of ruling the kingdom but determined to be positive. Snow White, who was a kind-hearted girl, always tried to help the people of her kingdom. She would order the guards to share resources with the people whenever she could. The people of the kingdom would always thank her for her good actions. The queen would sometimes find out and growl at Snow White for being the good person.

Snow White grew up to be a beautiful, pretty, and charming princess, both inside and out. One day, the queen asked her magical mirror, “Who’s the fairest of them all?” But this time, the mirror’s answer changed. Instead of saying it was the queen, the answer was Snow White. The queen became very jealous and ordered her huntsman to take Snow White into the deep, dark forest to kill her and bring back her heart. As the huntsman took Snow White into the forest, he couldn’t bring himself to kill her. Snow White was way too sweet and gentle. So instead of killing her, the huntsman let her go and told her to never return to the kingdom. He killed a wild boar and brought its heart to trick the queen. Snow White was confused and scared, leaving the life she knew behind. The queen, unaware of the deception, was satisfied until she again asked, “Who’s the fairest of them all?” and realised Snow White was alive and she had been tricked.

As Snow White walked deeper into the forest, she was getting more scared, confused and shocked with the sudden change of situation. Along the path, she met a girl who was wearing a bright red hood. Snow White was relieved to know that she wasn’t alone in the deep, dark forest. Snow White walked up to the girl and tapped on her shoulder. The girl was apparently picking up some flowers with a basket of food on her wrist. The girl was quite surprised to see a girl in front of her. She was also quite taken back because her mother reminded her not to talk to strangers. However, she found Snow White to be innocent looking. They both introduced themselves. The girl introduced herself as the “Little Red Riding Hood”. Snow White also introduced herself and explained her situation. The little red riding hood felt sorry and decided to help her. While they were chatting, they saw something lurking in the bushes. They stepped back from the bushes and then suddenly, a wolf came out. It was a big, evil and mysterious looking wolf. The wolf’s eyes were red and it had a weird mark on it. The wolf looks at both of them with a hungry and thirsty look along with its sharp fangs. He asks “What are you young ladies doing in this scary deep dark forest all by yourselves?” Little Red Riding Hood replied to his question saying “I came to deliver this food basket to my grandma who is sick.” Says Little Red Riding Hood, but the big bad wolf on the other hand was focused with his prey. He was focused by catching Snow White and Red Riding Hood, as his hunger grew more and more. He soon came up with an idea and decided to go with it. He just went away from the two girls as if they hadn’t met before. This left the two girls confused. But the two girls decided to go do their thing.

The wolf’s idea was to go to the grandmother’s house before Snow White and the little red riding hood got there. He ran to the little red riding hood’s grandmother’s house as fast as he could. When he arrived at the house, he knocked on the door. The grandma opened the door and was shocked to see a wolf standing. Before she could react, the wolf grabbed her and swallowed her.

Together, Snow White and the little red riding hood went to the grandmother’s house. When they arrived there, they noticed the door was open. They found that a bit weird but they shrugged off those thoughts and went into the house. They saw the grandmother laying on her bed. They went closer to her and noticed some unusual features. The eyes were big, the ears were big and the teeth were sharp. They realized it was the wolf they met in the forest. They got scared and tried to run away, But they couldn’t outrun the wolf. Eventually, the wolf caught up to them and swallowed both of them one by one.

A group of seven dwarves happened to pass by. They were humming as they were walking on the path. They were back from their gold mining job. They overheard the screams of two girls. Curious, they went into the house. They saw a big wolf with its belly bigger than its head. They immediately knew that the wolf ate the two girls. They all were surprised and realized that the wolf ate the two girls. The seven dwarves ran up to the wolf and started attacking it with their hands. Despite the wolf’s large size, the wolf was easily powered by the amount of his opponents, which were the dwarves. The wolf ran away and they all tried to chase the wolf.  The wolf was never seen again. “Wow, it was not just two young girls, it was an old lady as well!” the dwarves exclaimed.

Snow White, the little red riding hood and her grandmother thanked the seven dwarves and the woodsman. Grandma offered the seven dwarves to stay for a while and offer some food and drinks to thank them. Grandma was also surprised to see a young girl whom she had never met who was in the same trouble as her. The little red riding hood explained Snow White’s situation and the grandma felt sorry for her. The seven dwarves overheard the situation and decided to help as well. They knew they had to hide her well in case the evil queen found out. The grandma offered Snow White to live with her. The dwarves offered as well but Snow White didn’t want their home to be crowded as there are seven already. At last, she decided to live with grandma. At that moment, an old woman who was selling apples came across the house. The old woman walked up to the house and offered some apples. She specifically wanted Snow White to try them. They thought it was sketchy at first but they shrugged off the thought. The old woman offered an apple to Snow White. The apple was red as blood, and looked crunchy and juicy. Snow White decided to try it. As she took a bite, she immediately passed out as if she’d died. The old woman let out an evil laugh and ran away. They were dumbfounded by the situation and they hurriedly went to Snow White to examine what was happening. They soon realized it was the apple. It was poisoned. Some of the dwarves went up to the old woman and tried to chase her. While the others left behind, including grandma and the little red riding hood tried to help Snow White into waking up.

It was the evil queen’s plan all along. She disguised herself as an ordinary old woman who was selling apples. She poisoned the apples for Snow White to eat. Her plan was to disguise as an old woman and give the poisoned apples to Snow White.

Little Red Riding Hood, her grandma and the seven dwarves realized that it was the queen’s plan all along. She was disguised as the old woman who was selling apples.

As some of the dwarves chased the old woman who was the evil queen in disguise, they lost track of her. They backed off and just decided to go back to the house. The seven dwarves, the Little Red Riding Hood and the grandma were all disappointed in themselves for failing to protect Snow White.

As the evil queen ran away in her disguised form, she encountered the wolf who tried to eat Snow White, the Little Red Riding Hood and the grandma. She was stunned and was quite frightened. She tried to send the wolf away but the wolf growled in hunger. In the blink of an eye, the wolf pounced onto her and ate her. That was the end of the evil queen. She had died in a tragic way.

In order to grieve Snow White’s passing, the seven dwarves, the little red riding hood and the grandma made a funeral for her. They laid her down in a beautiful glass coffin with flowers around it. The little red riding hood put down the flowers she’d picked during the journey to her grandma’s house onto the coffin. As they were grieving, a charming looking prince with his guards came across the scene. He found Snow White to be the loveliest looking and the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen. He offered the seven dwarves, the little red riding hood and her grandma to hold a proper and memorial funeral for Snow White. They eventually agreed. As the guards moved the glass coffin, a piece of poisoned apple fell out of Snow White’s mouth. Snow White was woken up from the death. They all were surprised but also happy since she’s fine. The moment she met the prince, she was in love. The prince offered Snow White to take her to his palace. She accepted his request and said goodbye to the seven dwarves, the grandma and the little red riding hood.

Snow White explained her story and situation to the prince. The prince was interested in her  story. He felt terribly bad for her. He came up with a plan. The prince united the two of their kingdoms by building a village between the distances of the two kingdoms. The kingdom which was once in darkness caused by the evil queen was now in the daylight again. As the bond between Snow White and the prince became stronger, they were falling in love. They got married and lived happily ever after with both of them ruling both of their kingdoms

Hauora Poster


In order to construct the Hauora poster, you will have to search for one pair that you do not usually make or do projects and work with. Alongside with your working buddy that you’ve chosen, Two of you will help and find important information about Hauora and its very own meaning to make the poster understandable and educating throught the given details searched up from the internet or your own prior knowledge which could also mean to use your own thinking along with what you could remember from getting educated. But as for Hauora, It is a Maori belief and has Four walls, First wall is called Taha Tinana, Second wall is Taha Wairua, Third wall is Taha Hinengaro, and lastly the Fourth wall is Taha Whanau. Inside the image on top of this paragraph shows more information for Hauora, Both text’s are examples that show what Hauora is.

I found this activity fun and pretty easy because drawing the house and helping eachother find information as pairs makes it easier to do the poster.

Duffy Boxes


Last week thursday was a party for the one and only Duffy. Boxes in the image were made to put the interested Duffy books you are in to so you can consider reading and learning way more words to add up inside your mind. But overall, the box design has a choice of making designs only at the side, to either just use a Vivid marker or maybe both the pencils and the Vivids, as you mix the Pencil is used to draw patterns by the side and after drawing the chosen pattern, you will have to use the permanent marker to draw on top of the already drawn pencil marks. After finishing the patterns, each person in the classroom will have to combine glue and different coloured papers in to stick it at the back of its flat surface (Paper). Following after that is to stuck in the flat sheet on top of the boxes alongside with the printed  Duffy art pictures shown in the image.

I found this activity wholesome and very exciting because it was time to celebrate his 38th birthday of the year.

Tech – Steam


The topic for visiting Tech in Tamaki college is similiar to art but each of every subjects is all mixed together, for an example- everyone in the classroom was teached and also discussed about how unity works, making houses on a sheet of paper, drawing whilst listening to our teacher also including by reading books about Nanda, Ram, Roshni, Anju and some other anonymous two with no name but a role for them is included such as the mother and the fiance, as well as learning more about science and how light is the fastest thing on earth alongside with not even a single thing could have a chance of beating the speed of light. It travel 300,000 Kilometers per second which no single object nor something fast created in this earth can outrun a single raise of sunshine.

I found this learning in steam interesting as well of it being educating as I learnt from each minute passing by  about the rise of a single light that travels over 300,000 each second.

Happy 30th Birthday Duffy!

Each of the classes gathered up to celebrate Duffy’s birthday, which was decided in the hall where the whole school normally sing for assembly. The hall was decorated with balloons, cakes, and paper signs hanging from the wall saying “Happy 30th Birthday Duffy”. The assembly wasn’t just any normal one, but a special one made for Duffy and his 30th year anniversary! Special visitors also came to join the assembly and celebrate Duffy’s birthday alongside with everyone inside the hall.

I found the birthday party exciting because it was made for Duffy’s celebrating birthday.

Comrades Marathon: The Ultimate Human Race


I and my work mate, decided and discussed a prediction for the “Comrades Marathon: The Ultimate Human Race” judging from its title.  But a Comrades Marathon is an annual ultra footrace that was held in KwaZulu-Natal South Africa. It’s a grueling test for human endurance that captivated runners and spectators for over a century. It is approximately a 87 Kilometers race that is an uphill journey that starts with the beginning from Durban to Pietermaritzburg. The Foot Race also has a strict Cut-Off time that lasts after around twelve hours. People considers maintaining Entry Limits so they could assure the runners who’d participated in the Long Marathon is safe with no injuries.

I find this activity educating because I’ve learnt more about a Marathon.

Paris Host City – Olympics


The first step of the lesson is to first find a working buddy that could alongside work and discuss the project together with you while in the duration of the Google Slide/Presentation. The both of our teachers in the classroom have given everyone learning and many information about a very large stadium Paris wasted 10 billion euros for the Olympics. But the problem with wasting that various amount of Euros for the Olympics stadium is abandoning it in a very short period of time and never using it ever again, which makes it look like an abandoned hunted place where ghosts live in and along with wasting countless of cash just for it to look like a place where you would never ever visit. What makes it two times creepier are Beijing’s Olympic mascots laying around almost everywhere on the ground, Also including some of them laying on top of the creepy bushes. But as the lesson goes on, The pair you chose will make a Google slide for all the information you’ve learnt and listened for of Paris’s situation.

I found this activity educating because i learnt all the problems Paris had with my pair!

Scary Sea Creature


The very first step for the already stated lesson is to find one pair to work and find a Google image with your working buddy side by side. What you yourself and the working pair is going to have research is image an inspiration of a disgusting looking sea creature that are probably found from one of the deepest part of the ocean
or practically near the surface area. After the following start of creating the selected inspired image of a horrifying sea mammal in Google Draw, Both yourself and the pair will work out together of finding the AI generated version of the inspirational creature with the partner.

I found this activity pretty scary, fun and hard. It was scary because I was working with a person I do not usually work with, the hard part was most likely the finding the AI bits for the chosen species. But more likely the fun part is to find an ugly sea creature alongside with it inspired and created in Google Drawing!

Swimming


Yesterday was Thursday which can also include the fact that it is the time to learn in the swimming pool. Every Thursday is when our classrooms could go to the pool and learn how to swim step by step so we could stay aware of the ocean surrounding our country. The drowning system is very high and it is very important to learn swimming as to make sure to not never drown just in case of a flood happening in our country. The group I am in, is also learning how to swim safely so that us people could not drown from a flood or accident.

Ancient Olympics – Kahoot


My pair and myself created a “Kahoot!” quiz for the Ancient Greek Olympics. Finding clues and remembered information from what each and every one of us has been learning more about the Ancient Greek Olympics. Adding question for an example like “What sports they had in the Ancient time?”, “Who did Zeus marry?”, “What year did the Ancient Olympics start?”,  “What was the year that the Ancient Olympics had ended?” and more! Each and every one also used all their knowledge of what they’d already knew for the Olympics Ancient era to make a “Kahoot!” quiz.
