DLO Explanation writing (What causes lightning?)

 

We were learning to create a DLO (Digital learning object) about explanation writing. Explanation writing is where you explain how to do something or why something happens. We got to choose out of a few questions that involved a life cycle, I chose "what causes lightning". The things we needed to do were, research about what are question was, a plan of our writing, a diagram and our writing.

I was being a researcher because I had to go onto my chromebook and search up the information I was looking for for this DLO about what causes lightning.

I found it easy to find all of my information about what causes lightning because I found one website that had quite a bit of information. I also found it easy to write out my writing because I had already found a lot of information.

I found it hard to create my diagram on google drawings because we had to make it completely from scratch but I found a way how to do it, for example I made the ice crystals from the second part of the diagram from using x's and putting them in different positions. I also found it hard to find a upright background because I needed to find something to do with lightning.

I really enjoyed this because I got to learn one of the questions that I have had and now have the answer too. I also so enjoyed this because I got to play around with what my slide looked like how I used word art in my slide.

Next time I need to make my diagram look better because some of the arrows are out of place and make it look a bit more clear about what the first part of my diagram is about, (which is cold air being the blue part the red part being the warm air and the middle being the storm.)
