** 24.8.11 - WALT infer **** The Tape Dispenser **

To use a tape dispenser is unbelievably easy. It is a wonderfu l and simple mechanism that holds a roll of tape and dispense it in quantities of your liking.

The contraption is built up of various parts that make it serviceable. Some of the main parts are the jagged metal razor, the plastic body of the dispenser, and the plastic axle in the middle of the body. There is also the foamy grip pad underneath the tape dispenser, which prevents it from sliding and scratching the surface it has been placed on. Some tape dispensers also have sand in the plastic body at the bottom to help weigh it down so it will not slide.

The dispenser is a simple gadget to use. Firstly, the end of the tape should already be stretched onto the razor teeth, so take hold of the tape and tug it gently towards you until it is the length that you require. Be careful not to pull it too hard so you end up with too much tape, and try to avoid cutting your fingers on the metal teeth. Next, pull the tape against the razor in a swift, downwards motion , hence cutting the measure of tape in a straight line. As a result, you can now cut approximate lengths of tape for your work.

As you may or may not already know, a tape dispenser isn’t dependent on electricity or batteries, so it can work anytime, day or night. They are used worldwide in offices, shops, schools, homes, and companies and serve themselves as a reliable working equipment. They’re cheap and can be used to stick objects together, wrap a present, hold a piece of paper or an item to a surface, or even hold items down.

As the world leaps farther into the technology and science of the future, clever effective equipment such as a tape dispenser will surely stay the simple ingenious tool it has been for many more generations. 5 other ways to use a tape dispenser 1.candy roll you could put candy on it and get the candy2. put ribbon on it and then pull it when needed3. poststamps pull the stamps and put the stamp on the letter4.stikers if your in a job that you give kids stikers5.stamps it could have stamps on it 30.8.11WALT: infer 31.8.11WALT: Jumping over the box. media type="youtube" key="vS38nyKWeMg?hl=en" height="349" width="425"31.8.11media type="youtube" key="DiO6iaAhuT0?hl=en" height="349" width="425" **23 September 2011: Literacy - Writing****WALT explain**
