Examining the cover - Unwind

 Kia ora bloggers for todays blog, it's just a small blog because I'm just gonna answer question the teacher gave us about the book Unwind. 

- How do you think this story will be written? 

I think this story is written base on a second person type of writing.

- Why do you think the story is entitled as it is?

I think the book is titled Unwind because it's gonna tell about the history of the place or people time travelling back in the days.

- Where do you think the story will take place?

By looking at the cover I think the story will take place in a Dystopian land or place.

-What time period do you think the story is set in?

I think it'll day times and night time (idk). 

1. What do you already know about pro-life and pro-choice groups? What do these terms mean? Is it an issue you have thought about? 

2. What do you know about organ donation? Organ donation is the process of surgically removing an organ or tissue from one person and placing it into another person. Transplantation is neccesarry because the recipient's organ has failed or has been damaged by disease or injury.

3. Teenagers to be unwound are sent to Harvest Camps. Can you make a connection between the language used to describe this place, and other places people have been sent historically?  

4. The term "living in a divided state" here is really a euphemism for what? Can you think of other, common euphemisms? Why do people use euphemisms? 

5. What is the definition of legal?  

6. What about ethical? 

7. Do you believe that because something is legal, it is also ethical, or morally right?

8. Can things that are ethically sound ever be illegal? Provide examples. 

9. Can you think of examples in history to support your ideas? Provide example

10 ESOL = 321 RIQ

 Kia ora bloggers, today in ESOL our class learnt about 321 RIQ and what it represents. 

So what exactly is 321 RIQ? 321 RIQ is a strategy many students uses on how to do their blog or how to do a blog. 3 and R stands for "3Recalls", 2 and I stands for "2Insight", and 1 Q stands for "1Question".

3 Recalls - 3 things I remember about the lesson.

2 Insight - 2 New things I learnt in this lesson.

1 Question - 1 question I have about something I didn't remember or still want to know about.

Last class on ESOL we introduced our self using a game our teacher told us, and for today we talked about 321 RIQ and what it means, and how to use it.

In this lesson, I learned the meaning of 321 RIQ and how to use this skill effectively when blogging. 

My only concern is does this technique works on every blog?

I only ever learned this skill now, and I don't seem to find it overly difficult to use in my writing. I am looking forward to being able to incorporate this skill more in my writing in the near future.

Slinkachu Research Slides

 Kumusta bloggers, this past few weeks in arts we've been talking about Slinkachu's work, we also learned about focal points, leading lines, balance, symmetry/asymmetry and rule of thirds. After learning about his work and photography we were then set a task, which is to photograph small figures inspired by Slinkachu's work.

Slinkachu (b. 1979, Devon, UK) has been “abandoning” his miniature people on the streets of cities around the world since 2006. His work embodies elements of street art, sculpture, installation art and photography and has been exhibited in galleries and museums globally.

Here are some of Slinkachu's photography. :)  

Here's the slide that we were working individually, we had to pick one of Slinkachu's art then draw it on the paper and put it on the slide, then specify what are the rule of thirds, leading and the focal point.

Overall it was a great term working on arts, specially working with Mr. Collins. I really love how Mr. Collins explains every single detail about and Slinkachu's work. I learnt a lot this term about arts in a interesting and joyful way.

Thank you for reading have a great day, please comment if you have any suggestion.

 Kamusta bloggers, for todays blog I'm gonna write about what I'm looking forward to on the EOTC or the 3 days field trip for year 7-9.

Im looking forward to Jellie park because I love swimming, it makes me happy and feel hyped up. The huge slides on Jellie Park, hanging out with friends outside school especially swim with them is making me really excited. I'm kinda nervous about people getting silly and naughty, an accident might happen. Probably hanging out with friends will be the most enjoyable.

 Kia Ora bloggers welcome again to my blog, so for today in Wananga, we talked about what's gonna happen on week 8, which is field trips to Jellie Park, Adrenaline Forest and City Centre. On each location, there are 4 tasks to pick, so I picked Jellie Park's tasks.

Week 6 - 100 Word Challenge

 Kamusta bloggers, today in wananga we were a task to write about a place that we really want to visit and describe the place and why we want to visit there. Here's my writing, enjoy. 

Wishing for the chance to go where I want to for free is not a wish anymore, because of this big bubble that I have. I have been thinking of where would I go, but the place that shines in my head is my hometown, it’s where I was born the Philippines. I would love to visit the stunning beaches and green big joyful mountains that are full of plants again, I also want to feel the warmth of the Filipino’s and my whole family again. Taste the mouthwatering street foods and my most favourite dessert in the world, halo-halo.
