Dragons

Dragons

There are many mythical creatures and one of them is the dragon.

Dragons are strange creatures and most people know dragons as a big green thing with wings that breath fire

and yes that is one of the types of dragons but there is another type of dragon and they look different. These dragons look more serpentine (like a snake) and some of them have wings but some of them don’t.

In Chinese mythology, a dragon was married to a feng huang (Chinese Phoenix) and yes, it is a weird combination but there is a meaning. In the Han Dynasty, there were two birds, a male named Feng and a female named Huang. Later in the Yuan Dynasty, they merged and became Fenghuang and translated in to Phoenix. The Fenghuang was known as the King of birds but they recognised it as an empress and was paired up with a dragon which was recognised as the emperor.

As I mentioned, there are different types of dragons. One of them is the European dragon and they look big, have wing and breath fire.

Another one is the chinese dragon that looks more like a snake.

And the last type is the Japanese dragon and they are in Japanese mythology and folklore.

For spelling, I am doing a poetry twist or something like that because I can't remember. A poetry twist is a poetry that is shaped like a diamond and it is made out of your list. It includes nouns,verbs and adjectives.

Whats hot on the gaming channel?

Level grinding

Level grinding is very popular amongst gamers and is usually used to beat a boss.

Level grinding is basically a shorter version of defeating lots of enemies and gaining exp and it usually takes a long time.exp is short for experience points and some games need you to gain these point so you can upgrade or level up.

It takes a long time because most people just grind in the same spot so they keep on defeating enemies in the same spot and they give the same exp so it takes ages.It takes a long time because you’ll be higher level then every enemy in that area and you won’t give you that much exp anymore.

To gain exp points you usually have to defeat enemies as seen in Pokemon.In Pokemon, you have to defeat other Pokemon to gain exp.You need to gain exp to level up and at a certain level, they evolve and become stronger.In pokemon, the max level is 100 but in some pokemon games, (pokemon vortex.)some events, the enemies can get level 150 pokemon.

Level grinding may seem boring for most people, but some people like grinding because some people like being overpowered or OP for short and like defeating enemies in one hit including myself.

WALHT write a explanation. I had to write and explanation about anything I wanted.(e.g crabs, snakes, sharks, games etc.) and this is it. (Like I said, no promises.)

You are watching Benjamin and Jarrod's webquest!

In room 7, we are making a webquest. We had to choose from television, radio, computer, telephone, satellite and printer. The good thing about my presentation with Jarrod was that we learnt something new. The thing we need to continue to work on is the color contrast.
