For our latest News Show, the Gladiator Snails have been making notes about amazing things we're doing and then collaboratively creating short videos on our new favourite app, Puppet Pals.
Since this is our first time getting our hands on Puppet Pals, some students are focusing on the fancy elements of the app more than the content. Their peers have given them this feedback and you'll see our skills continue to develop!

What Makes Us an EPCOT Class?
What Makes Our Class an EPCOT Class?
Experimental - try new things
Prototype - something you’re testing, people come see us as an example
Classroom
Of
Tomorrow - we do things differently every day, we think about the future
What We Already Do that Makes Us EPCOT:
-that it’s an alternative school. -Sophie
-our class is like EPCOT because we have Imagineering journals and our class name is very creative. Imagineering journals are books that you draw your ideas or get you thinking and you can’t erase. You can always redo it and you can only create. -Indi
-we’re Imagineers. -Katie
-our class is Imagineers and we do things differently every day in our class -Ava Cat
-what makes us like EPCOT is that we’re Blue Sky thinkers which means that we think all the way up to the sky-Oyster
-what makes us EPCOT is that we use computers and electronics all the time -Ali
-what makes us EPCOT class is that we try new things every day -Sammy
-our school is EPCOT because we do lots of things that other schools don’t - we have animals, we’re allowed to wear hats-Hudson
-I understand why Hudson said it’s different. Walt Disney, he really tried different things and he tried to make a whole city by himself which is a pretty amazing thing and it was different, which means, why can’t we do things differently? -Oyster
-what makes our class special is that we don’t have to wear uniforms -Sophie
-what makes our class special is when we made our Dream Classes kinda like EPCOT, that kind of drawings -Robert
Our Dream (How to Really Live EPCOT in our Class)….
-that we try new things, and we are Imagineers and we should always be creative like Blue Sky workers -Ava Cat
-do more stuff that’s more creative and fun -Isaac
-for the Art Electives, we should do something based on what Walt Disney had done, we could be designers -Grace
-we should do lots of Math on the Chromebooks-Tom
-I was thinking of special days, like Pet Day! We use a chart so everybody can bring their pets, but if they don’t have pets, they can bring electronics. That seems fair. -Ava Bunny
-maybe we could do a lot of research on Walt and Roy Disney and study them and we could do a little bit of their plan in our classroom -Oyster
-we can make a big Cardboard City as a class and plan it out and stuff and make it kinda like EPCOT. Maybe we could make it a pollution free design. -Owen D
-Maybe we should start doing more, put some things out for us, we have a partner, and mix up our ideas and build something. It doesn't have to be something specific, you have to build something -Sophie
-I was thinking we could put pillows on the stage so when we’re reading or doing ECLIPSE, we can sit on them-Rowan
-I was thinking that maybe we could design our own book or something else -Mariko
-put pillows on the stage, we could do it tomorrow and make it comfortable -Sammy
-I think I want to move the bungee chairs, swap it around. Some people are getting books and it’s hard to get past the people getting the bungee chairs-Liam
-I think we should raise the stage a bit, it can hurt your back a bit right now. Get some wood. -Raphie
-try new things every day -Shane
-I think we should put some desks in so that no one copies each other and we should invent more stuff cause it’s really fun to invent something that really works -Katie
-maybe we should play some more games at Gym like the Gladiator Game-Toni
-can we see if we can do a lot of work on the Chromebooks -James
-we should have more GoNoodle time -Ali
-we’re an EPCOT class because we’re going to bring in something secret, Shauna’s going to surprise us with something -Hudson
-I’m excited to get the Chromebooks. We get our own Chromebooks for the whole entire year. We get to write with them. - Robert

Gladiator Snails News Show
This is our FIRST blog post together!
OK. Well, this is a video that the Gladiator Snails made. - Grace
This is a video about what we have done these weeks in EPCOTclass. - Katie
So what we did is we took all the things that we have done and we basically made the people choose. And what thing they wanted to do for what we have done for these few weeks and then we put them into a video. - Oyster
We also set up lots and lots of things to make this video. We wrote on a paper and read it. We were writing in our Imagineering books. - Tom
An Imagineering book is a book that where we can't erase things, we can only create things. - Sophie
Imagineering means to imagine and engineer. - Toni
We think our news show was between a yellow and green light.
A yellow light and a green light is kind of like just showing how you think you did at something. - Isaac
A green light would look like if it was up to 10, it would be 10, the best. A green light means you can go like at a light in traffic.- Rowan
Here are some things we liked about our first news show:
-I liked how some people spoke very clearly. -Shane
-I like how they were being brave of speaking to the whole class. -James
-I like the stuff that we did. -Robert
-I liked how some people were looking at the paper and the audience at the same time. And, yeah. -Owen D
-Um, I liked that no one went like, "buh-buh-buh-BUHHH". -Hudson
-It was nice to share things with other people. -Tim
-I just liked it because I liked it. -Liam
In order to make our next news show a total green light, we will:
-Next time, we're going to try to look at the camera more than our pages. -Ava Cat
-We can try not to stutter as much and try to speak more clearly. -Isaac
-Not crumple paper! -Sammy
-Maybe we should practice more. -Gracie
-Well, I think we should look more at the camera, with your eyes down, you should still look at the camera. -Tommy
-We should talk louder and clearer and the people in the background should be quieter and the background should be a colour and not just the classroom. -Katie
-It's about props. Not many people brought props. I brought the Ketchup/Mustard and Pickle board. And, the background should be one colour and not distracting things. -Oyster
-Maybe we should actually plan out our things so we're looking at the cameras instead of our books. We should practice first. -Sophie
-I think we should put the whiteboard close with a table right in front of it. We can write things on the whiteboard big. - Indi
-Maybe we can have a long table with three newscasters just sitting there. - Lilah
