Explanation DLO [digital learning object]

 

Today we were learning to do a explanation DLO [digital learning object]. Explanation writing is where you explain how to do something or why something happens.  We got to pick 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 found researching my information easy because there was a site for people that need  information for lightning. 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 know a way how to do it, for example I made the ice crystals from the second part of the diagram from using x's an putting them in different positions.

I enjoyed this because I like to research and I have to research what causes lightning. I also liked how I you could play around with some of the cool tools we could use.

My learning asit is a researcher which is choosing the right source of information needed.

Next time I should add more detail and be more specific. Maybe choose another object like how to make chocolate instead i chose what causes lightning.
