How To Properly Shot Shot Put and Discus

Hello everyone, today I learned how to properly throw a shot. So I'm teaching you how


Step 1: Holding the shot

Place the shot at the base of your fingers, not the palm. Spread your fingers slightly apart and use your thumb to prevent the shot from rolling off. 

Step 2: Starting position 

Press the shot to the area of the neck beneath your jaw. Keep your elbow high, so that it appears horizontal to your shoulders. If the shot drops below your shoulder during the put, it will be considered a foul throw.

Step 3: The legs 

Stand with your left shoulder pointing at the target and your body facing the direction perpendicular to your shoulder (for right-handers). Keep your feet wide apart, and bend the right leg, so that you tilt backwards. Twist your body so that you face the opposite direction of your target. This is your starting position.

Step 4: Putting the shot 

When you are ready, push off with your back foot and twist your hips, and then your body to face the target direction of your put. Extend your arm and propel the shot into distance at a 45-degree angle. When you shoot the shot, flick your wrist in a way similar to how you would shoot a basketball or netball.

How to properly throw DISCUS/ DISCUS techniques.

1. Roll-off your small finger.
2. Wrap 4 fingers around it.
3.  Stand side on the line.
4. 1 wind-up. (Not 3)

Writing | Apocalyptic

Hello everyone this past few weeks we had to make our own sentences about the photo.

  1. Write a simple sentence that describes something about the picture.
  2. Add adjectives to the simple sentence, to add more detail.
  3. Add more language features like similes or metaphors to enhance the sentence.
  4. Use topic words directly related to the picture.
  5. Use emotive language to create/clarify mood.
  6. Paint a clear picture in the mind of my readers and give the reader detailed and specific information.

So this is the photo that I picked:

And this is the sentences that I wrote:

  1. A lonely city.
  2. An unpopulated forsaken city. 
  3. An unpopulated forsaken city like a city from the movie World War Z. 
  4. A sad lonely unpopulated forsaken city with broken buildings every turn and cars with no electricity.
  5. A sad destroyed and deserted city covered with smokes and stones, full of broken cars and forsaken buildings. Sad souls of the dead bodies whispering angrily. 
  6. A city that looks like the city from the movie World War Z. Lost, destroyed and deserted. Submerge in ash, radiation, forsaken buildings at every turn, wrecked cars, and dead bodies under the remnants. The sad souls whispering angrily. Gunfire rings across the streets of the city.
