I thought about this because the little dragonboy is being bullied by the big, strong knight in the short film, and bullying awareness month is all about trying to stop bullies. One difference is that in this film it's only physical bullying, while bullying awareness month talks about all different types of bullying (physical, emotional, verbal, cyber, mental, etc).]]> 2019-11-12 19:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/410191194 Level 4 Must Sees! markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/897725194 So, what makes a good (a Level 4) connection?

- Use the prompts to start your connection!
 
 - Make sure to explain both sides (from the text and from your side of the connection)
 
 - Add any additional information; are there any other similarities or differences between your connection and the text?]]> 2020-11-06 14:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/897725194 Text-to-Self Connection (MT) markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/1867356925 This reminds me of a play that happened in my school before! The play in this movie was a knight who was supposed to rescue a princess, with the dragon being the villain. The play in my school was similar, in that a princess was also rescued by a knight, with a dragon being a villain. One difference is that our play the costumes were smaller, and we had more armour for our knight! In our story our set pieces were bigger, and the dragon costume was the largest; it was more than a one person costume!]]> 2021-11-04 13:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/1867356925 Text-to-Text (AA) markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/1867367561 This story is similar to a book I read when I was back in Kindergarten. The book I read had a princess in a purple dress, but there was no dragon. However, she was captured! In Dragonboy, the princess has been captured (or locked into a tower) by the dragon! The girl in the KT story was captured by an armed man (looking kind of like a knight, but not one), which is surprisingly similar to what actually happened during this Dragonboy play (as the knight actor tried to kiss her at the end of the play, which caused a fight because she didn't want him to)!]]> 2021-11-04 13:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/1867367561 Text-to-Text Classroom Example (On 'The Secrets of the Furious Five' with MT) markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/1881328609 This story (with Viper needing to protect her village) is similar to another video I saw with the main character needing to defend others from attackers.  Viper was just a little snake, but when her father (who defended the village before her) wasn’t able to fight she stepped up in his place. In _____ story, the main character also needed to… ______________________. In the story of ________, the main character was human (not a cartoon creature) and needed to physically change (in this case, losing all her hair) before facing down the villains. In Viper’s story, this didn’t need to happen, and also all the fighting depicted is a lot more ‘stylized’ (which means safe for children. ]]> 2021-11-10 13:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/1881328609 Text-to-Self (Trouble in Wakanda, modelled by YS) markgiraldi https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/1884201464 When Black Panther and Killmonger (that look very alike, given the same suits) were fighting, it reminded me of when my brother and myself fight. My brother is younger than me, and unlike in the movie he's not a villain. We're also not superpowered. In the movie they fighting 'for real' (meaning that they were intending to hurt or stop each other, while we were just play fighting. Something similar is that we were both fighting over some sort of object; my brother and I wanted ice cream, while in the movie Killmonger and Black Panther were fighting over control over vibranium (a super metal used to power up Thanos).]]> 2021-11-11 13:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/markgiraldi/dragonboy/wish/1884201464
