SLJ ~ Summer Learning Journey ~ Week 1 Day 3

Day 3 - Buying a ticket

Now that you have chosen your country it is time to start planning your trip. One of the first things you will need to do is to buy an airplane ticket. There are many, many airlines that fly around the world. Some of the most common are:

Air Canada Air New Zealand

                               

Emirates             Air Asia

                

When you get onto the airplane you will be asked to watch a short safety video that tells you how to stay safe when flying in a plane. Arguably, the best airplane safety videos are produced by Air New Zealand.
Activity 1
Watch both of the current Air New Zealand safety videos. The first is a video that stars the All Blacks. The second is a video that stars Rhys Darby and Anna Faris (Hollywood actress).  Links for the videos are found below:
Air New Zealand ‘Men In Black’ video
Air New Zealand ‘Safety in Hollywood’ video
Once you have finished watching the videos, go to your blog and list three things that you need to do to stay safe on an airplane.
Make sure to have your seat-belt all buckled when you enter the plane.
Just in case a mask slightly comes down, make sure to secure it around yourself!
When landing in an awkward situation make sure to place yours hands on your head and elbows on your knees.

Activity 2

Imagine that you have been asked to create your very own airline. What would you call it? Design a simple logo for your airline and post it on your blog. You must include a short explanation of your logo below the picture.

 
This is my two Logo’s that I have created, the first one was out of adventures, I was thinking of a TV show that could somehow give me an idea of a Logo for this activity. The TV show was Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and they are a force of power and of course I had to add in the airplane and flight, it gave it a very nice way of presentation! Now, Togetherland was from nowhere, It suddenly appeared in my mind and I thought “eh, might as well use it”, I wish there was more of an explanation but sorry!
Bonus Activity - Airplane tickets can be very expensive.
