Whose Phone Is This!??

Posted on by

Have you ever wondered what your favorite characters’s phones are like? Have you ever wanted to draw and design their phone? Well that’s what we have been doing. For about a week or so in LA, we have been working on a iPhone project based on our book Finding Somplace.  Basically, we have to pick our favourite character from the book and write what emails they would have, their screen saver, and a movie playlist for their phone.

My favourite part of this project is the movie playlist. I really love this part because it is really cool to find a movie that is a perfect match to the character, and learn about different movies.

The character I choose was named Ms. Martine. Ms. M is somewhere between her sixties and seventies. The reason I like this character is because she is really diverse and her house is really interesting. Also she has a cool background. Ms. M was a writer and poet. She never became really famous but her story is really inspiring. When she was young she wanted to be a writer but her family said she couldn’t do it. She left home. Since she didn’t become famous and make much money, she had to make her living by cooking. I think her story inspires you to be yourself and do what you want.

My Backpack Project!!

Backpack drawn by Ben

In L.A class, our class has been working on a Backpack project. In class we have been reading a book called Finding Someplace.  In this book, a girl named Reesie has to evacuate and she brings a backpack and puts everything she wants and needs in there.

In LA we have had to draw a backpack and draw in there what we would put in there. People have put things that are necessary, wants and things that are important to us. Some things I put in my backpack were cat food and hamster food. I put these in here to imply that I was bringing my pets. I also brought a family picture, my owl blanket, and my dog stuffed animal. I took these because these are important to me and reminds me of family.

Some other things I would bring were things that are necessary, like my phone, my passports, and my tooth brush, toothpaste, and floss. I brought a first aid kit too. I also took  a water bottle and a journal.
