The Amazing race task was to create a keynote presentation showing at least 10 towns or cities around New Zealand. We had to chose a monument, landmark, historical site or natural geographical feature from each town or city. We had to think of clues that led contestants to the next place. We enjoyed creating the amazing race keynote.

One of the ups on the amazing race were Titan pad. We really liked it because we could write all our information on it at the same time. Plus Joe and Nico discovered chat and started talking on that about work until Whaea Kim told the whole class not to. Another up was that we did it a lot and that meant not doing other stuff. But we focused and stayed on task and we were one of the first groups finished.

There were practically no bad things about doing this. We agreed on everything and this made working with each other easy.

The things we might do differently were chose different towns. Some of the places like Omakau and Bulls were hard to research about. Apart from that we wouldn’t change anything.

The Amazing race was cool because we got to find a bit more out about the towns and cities in New Zealand. This was an awesome project to do.
