Brandon's new vocabulary

You may have wanted to build a kite one day but you don't know how to build one or what the the different parts of the kite are or what they do. Well I'm going to explain a Vivid definition on what each part of the kite does and where they are located.

 now that i have showed you a diagram of a kite i am now gonna show you the definition of each part. 

Spars: Think of spars as the skeleton of a kite.Spars are what give the kite support and shape. The spars are located on the frame around the outer edges of the kite.The spars can be straight or curved just like the skeletons we have that give us shape and support.

Tails: Think of a kite tail as a streamer hanging from not only the bottom of a kite  but maybe from center points along the sides of the kite. The tail of the kite can be located at the bottom or sides of the kite. the purpose of the tail is so the kite can stay balanced and fly straight.

Sail: The "skin" or "sail"of the kite is the cloth that is put around the kites frame.

Spine: The "spine" or "main spar" or "center spar" of a kite is the spar that goes from the noes to the "tail" of the kite. Its usually runs through the center of the kite.

Spreaders: The spreaders are the horizontal rods that keeps the kite in its shape.

Line: Is a strong piece of "line" or " wire" that keeps your kite from flying away.

Bridle: Puts the surface of the kite at the correct angle so it has lift to fly.

Tow points: The towing points are the points where the bridle and flying lines connect. By moving this point on the bridle line the flight characteristics can be changed.

keel: The keel is the longer rod under the kite that keeps it together.

Fittings: a piece that keeps the kite from falling apart.

When your done with your kite and now you know the vocabulary for a kite. Now that you know you can now make a beautiful kite successfully. 

Jovani learn's more

 Do you know how to make a full kite? Do you know what the  parts  of the kite are  called ? So if you do not I will tell you all of the specific parts of the kite.  All parts are important because if you do not have all parts the kite will not be able to fly. So now let’s go over the different parts:

The most obvious part is the tail of the kite. 

 You will need it to put it on the bottom of your kite so it can make the kite stay steady in heavy winds and only flat kites needs a tail a flat tail.

The next part of a kite is the spine. The spine is like the back of a kite like the spine on a human. But the spine will need to be flat, light and straight. It is straight because the shape of the kite has to be flat so it will fly. The spine is found in the middle of the kite so it will not fold over in the air.

The cross spar is almost the same part as the spine but it is going across the spine. It helps the corners of the kite stay up. The cross spar is like the human arms it can also be like a right angle and a perpendicular line.

Now let’s talk about the kite line. The kite line is a part to help the kite fly in the wind. There cannot be a excellent without the kite line. If you do not have a kite line the kite will not fly where you want it to fly.

You will also need this last piece which is the bridle your kite will not fly the way you want it to because it will not go where your kite line is trying to take it.

That is all of the parts you need to make your kite perfect!!!

Isaias a Wonderful Scholars Goals

Our group goals are : Most beautiful kite, largest kite and best team work. Our group will win the Largest Kite on June 24th, because our kite will show a combination of qualities, such as, shape, color, and form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight and our kite will show the use of our imagination and original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.

 My group will also win the most beautiful kite competition on June 24th because our kite will show an arousing awe through being evoking admiration through size, and skill. It will also show inspiring fear and respect through being impressively powerful in beauty, also it will show magnificence. 

Goals (Yeah Right) By Allan

Do you hate it when your teacher(s) said "let's take out our note books and write our goal's for the year." They always say the same thing over and over again. They never change what we do instead of goals all year long. One thing I really hate about goals is that you have to complete them or if not,they are just useless .But if you spend your time trying and trying to complete them, they can help you.

That is what I heard from my teacher today in class.So what I learned today in Ela is that my team and I can accomplish our kite building and we can set that as one of our goals. But our real goals are to have the most beautiful kite, the largest, and the best team work. We chose these goals because we are going to need a huge kite frame and we are all respect each other.So hopefully we can accomplish one of these goals.

Jovani's Goal for success!

My group and I is creating our own kite for kite day. That is when kids in M.S.126 builds there own kite from scratch. I like our design it is a good vs evil theme on our kite. It is cool because a lot of people like batman and joker and hero's like that.

 We are entering competitions like the most largest kite and also the best team work. One more which is the most beautiful kite there. I think we will win at least 2-3 of those competitions and be happy for the end of our school year and get ready for the nice hot summer. If we don't win these competitions we still might be able to win other competitions. 

My goals because "I'm Batman Hee Hee "-Brandon's Team Goals

When you were in Elementary school and your teacher always said,"You need to have goals in life or you won't make it." And they said that over and over again i don't know about you but I found that really annoying.But as I got older I understood what they were trying to explain to us and they were right. You really do need goals set to succeed in life. Me and my group have many goals just like you guys but for right now are goals are set to help us win this competition and we want to win more than one competition.

 My group has chosen 3 competitions that will inspire the design of the kite and they are the most beautiful kite,best teamwork,and largest kite. The kite needs these qualities because each and everyone of them play a big part in the competition. For example the most beautiful kite competition plays a big roll because me and my group members don't want our kite to look sloppy and ugly. Another example is best teamwork because we all need to work and help pout in building and flying the kite so we can all get credit for doing our jobs. My final example is the biggest kite because we want people to notice our kite because its big and beautiful. So if we win all all those competitions and use all those qualities our kite will surly be able to fly.

The Never Ending Battle of Good Vs. Evil-Jovani's Theme

Good vs Evil                                    

 Do you guys out there like the theme good vs. evil? Good vs. Evil is Our theme like a criminal vs. a cop. Usually in life cops are viewed as the good guys but in movies they are  sometimes shown as the bad guys. The theme good versus evil represents that one person can be a blend of good and evil. So our team decided that our kite is going to be just as complicated.

 My group and I chose this theme all because we all love batman the movie.  In the movie there is good people and evil people. So we started to write about batman vs. joker. Our theme is one no one picked we thought of this cool theme that everyone will love. In my opinion this is the theme everybody will love and be like wow that is a cool kite I am so amazed. We all agreed on this one theme, Good VS Evil. We chose this theme because  the battle of the Greek gods and the comics of batman vs. joker.

Isaias's Battle (Theme)

Lightning strikes the ground) A battle begins, have you guessed what my groups theme is? Okay, if you guessed "Good versus Evil" you were right! My group chose "Good Versus Evil" as our official theme because it symbolizes our memory of D.C. Comics and the epic battles of the Greek Gods. What really inspired us was the rivalry or the hostility in, Batman and Joker's relationship. Always how Batman was there when Joker was doing evil things, or even when Joker was plotting his evil scheme.

 Batman was always there to stop Joker. What also inspired us is, there are horrible and wonderful people in the world we live in. For example, when Terminator had to defeat the other terminator and they battled it out even though the other one kept surviving deadly blasts. This concludes the reason why my group picked the action packed theme "Good Versus Evil!" "That's All Folks" wait i'm not done. Another reason our group chose "Good Versus Evil" to be our theme is, because the amount of ideas you can gather from our theme is amazingly huge. Also the art you can make from this theme is beautiful. That is the real conclusion to my reasoning.

Allan's kite theme for GvE

Imagine a god fighting an evil god. Can you guess where i'm going? Well if you can't it's Good vs. Evil. This was a unique idea that my group (Injustice) made. I think our theme is unique because Every other group had very well known one's so we made one that some people knew about.

 Our kite was also themed out of a gamed called "Injustice Gods Among Us". My group will make it a surprise so I won't say any more. So stay tuned for more info in other blog's at injustice126.blogspot.com. We will post more pictures and blogs weekly but not on week ends our theme will also be posted on our kite because we want to show our spirit.

Brandon's Theme for his kite

 Batman vs Joker! The battle between the Greek gods. Can you figure out what our theme is? It is good versus evil.Me and my group members have chosen some familiar and unfamiliar characters in Greek mythology,DC universe, and Marvel such as Batman, Zeus, and even Carnage.

 We chose those heroes and villains because we wanted our kite to be creative and special just like the characters we chose.We want people to look at our kite and say," Wow that's an amazing kite!" So anyway in the end Batman still wins just like me and my group members are going to win this competition.

Isaias's Trip

Even though Isaias doesn't have all his ideas squared,He will still try to fly into the sky. He will have no string's attached when he starts to create his kite.Kite making is just something he would like to do, but He doesn't know what spectacular things he does in his "thinking-free" time. He loves to play rated m. games, even though he knows he shouldn't play them Enough about his hobbies, time for what he has been trying to reach for Isaias is a genius and he is also intelligent, he is always trying his best.

 It looks like his best has paid off with most people he meets, "they're both like two dead stars colliding and fighting each other's gravitation force's, throwing off gas and matter while they collide." The young genius wants to be a scientist, so he can develop funner,more effective,yet safer ways to do thing's. His wish is to develop a reputation and an invention that will be more famous than "E=mc^2, Albert Einstien's equation of the speed of light! I know you want to learn more about this genius, but that's all for now. One more thing, unlike other youngsters, he doesn't cause cat-astrophe's.
