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.

I have been learning to assess my own writing using our writing progress indicator matrix. I used it to self-assess my first piece of writing for this term. Then I discussed it with Miss Matangi-Hulls so I know where I'm at in my writing learning and my next steps. Here is my matrix...

 * 25.8.11 **
 * WALT Explain **

=In the snow, you can have some awesome snow fights by making snowballs and forts and throwing them at your friends and siblings. When it snowed in Palmerston North me and my brother went straight outside and had a awesome snow fight at a walkway and used picnic tables as our bases it was lots of fun = = In the snow you can also make snowmen they are very easy to make. You just get 3 big balls of snow and stack them on each other and add the eyes, nose and mouth and hey presto! you have your own snowman. When it snowed I made a mini snowman with raisins for his eyes, nose and mouth and he lasted 2 days. Snow is also awesome because you can go skiing and snowboarding. Go up to your nearest skiing mountain and have some fun by going down it and doing jumps and tricks (if you can!) or you can go snowboarding which is lots of fun as well just go to the mountain. My brother has been skiing before and he said “It was really fun and I didn’t want to go” So this is why I think snow is fun. In the future maybe it will snow again in Palmerston North but until then we have to keep hoping for snow. =
