Year 10 Writing Portfolio - Blog

                                                       On The Sidewalk Bleeding

The story The Sidewalk Bleeding by Ivan Walker.  was about a man named Andy who’s in a gang called royal. Laura andy's girlfriend, a random drunk guy on the alley,  Freddie and angela / couple and the grandma are the characters.

Part of the story when he got stabbed - 

 "We can't leave him here in the rain," Angela hesitated. 

"Can we?"

"If we get a cop, the Guardians will find out who," Freddie said. "I don't know, Angela. I don't know."

Angela hesitated a long time before answering. Then she said, "I want to go home, Freddie. My people will begin to worry."

"Yeah," Freddie said.  

The most memorable part of the story was when Freddie and Angela didn't help Andy even if he needed help and his life was endangered. This teaches me that sometimes people would sit around and do nothing even if they know that someone needs help and is endangered as long as they would not get sucked into the trouble. This part was the most memorable for me because it shows how society works.

The Great Depression - Questions

Why was Germany hit the hardest during the depression?  

I think Germany got hit the hardest during the great depression due to many reasons. The great depression during world war 1. Germany got hit the hardest because it got damaged by world war 1. Because of this almost no work during the depression, many people couldn't apply to and had no work, and because of this most of the people can't eat or buy stuff that they need. The result of this is that Germany needs to get loans to the U.S. because of this many people also got unemployed.

Explain what Germany had to agree to by signing the Treaty of Versailles? 

The Treaty of Versailles was drafted in the Paris peace conference in 1919, by the allied associated powers and by Germany in the halls of mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. They agreed to the Treaty of Versailles because Germany got damaged by world war 1, they allied with the U.S and borrowed money from it. They borrowed 200 million dollars from America. Germany. Because of the treaty, the population and the territory of Germany were reduced by 10 per cent. 

Why was NZ hit the hardest during the depression? 

The great depression of the early 1930s was the most shattering economic experience ever recorded in New Zealand. All exports fell by 45 per cent in two years, national income by 40 per cent in three. That means New Zealand is having a rough time because they have lost a lot of money for 2 years.  According to my research, New Zealand was devastated, Demand for their goods and service fell, as their prices did. The great depression lasted 5 years, 1930 to 1935.

The America And Indian treaty

From 1774 until about 1832, treaties between individual sovereign American Indian nations and the U.S were negotiated to establish the borders and prescribe conditions of the behaviour of the parties. The form of the agreements was nearly identical to the treaty of Paris. Ending the revolutionary war between U.S and Britain. 

The negotiation ended in a mutually signed pact that had the approval of the U.S congress and the non-tribal people needed a passport to go around the Indian state. 

From 1832 until 1871, the  American Indian nations were considered to be domestic, dependent tribes. Negotiated treaties between tribes and the U.S. had to be approved by the U.S. Congress.

In 1871, the House of Representatives ceased recognition of individual tribes within the U.S. as independent nations with whom the United States could contract by treaty, ending the nearly 100-year-old practise of treaty-making between the U.S. and American Indian tribes.

Reflecting ESOL

 What Was the best lesson and why? 

What did you enjoy doing and why?  

What was one task you were proud of and why?

What is something you could do differently / better next term?



I think my favourite lesson is that we watched a movie about a sleds competition and it's for free time. The movie is about Jamaican sleds players, this is like the first sled team because no one in Jamaican has ever try sleds. I have enjoyed this movie because it's actually a cool film a bit funny and it shows that you'll never know what will happen unless you try / never give up.

I enjoy doing the test yesterday, I liked the test because it wasn't that hard and it was actually pretty fun.

I was pretty proud of the writing that we did. I am proud of it because I think I did pretty good on it.

I think  I could try to do more work in ESOL. I am pretty sure I haven't done a lot because I'm a bit bored. the work wasn't that bad but I think I can do better.

Shark fining

 Hello, today I'll answer 3 questions about shark fining. 

What is it? shark fining is when you take off the fin of a shark and let it free. it won't kill it but it will die.

why is it a delicacy? they used shark fin as medicine. so they used it as a soup, even if it doesn't taste good.

how is this impacting our ocean? it is killing our ocean, when the shark goes extinct it can affect us and we might even starve. but how? if the shark goes extinct the 2 top of the food on the ocean will eat the fishes and it will repeat and repeat until the fishes are wipeout then most of the human will die of hunger. but if the shark was extinct it eats everything mean's it reduced the population of the fishes.Photosynthesis, energy pyramids, phytoplankton and food chains supplied by  energy from photosynthesis in nature - from FT Exploring

1. What is the main message of this poem? if you did something good it will make difference for the people that you have help. 

2. Give evidence for this!  like for example, a man needs to borrow to start a business because he doesn't have enough money to start a business, many people want to start a business but they can't if you help this guy it can change his life, which means if make's difference and because of it they can help other people too.

Article

 Hello, today I'll share an article that I made about the great pacific ocean.

Explanation

statement

Explanation

Evidence

Sum up



                             The great pacific garbage patch


The great garbage patch is a large amount of garbage on the pacific. According to Google, the great pacific garbage patch is roughly 3 times larger than France. In the world, there are 5 other garbage patches. The North Atlantic Gyre, the South Atlantic Gyre, the North Pacific Gyre, the South Pacific Gyre. Fish in the ocean eat garbages and birds too. It’s kill’s animals so that means the garbage in that area must have killed a lot of animals. The great pacific garbage patch is the biggest, so it means it’s not only on the pacific ocean. There are 5.25 trillion pieces of garbage on the ocean floor. The cause of these things are humans and the population. Humans have invented plastic. We can't even do things and just dump them in the ocean, and also the population it’s so big so it means more plastic is getting used every day and more plastic in the ocean every day. 


Evidence : 


The great pacific garbage patch is almost 3 times bigger than France, but 45 per cent of this garbage comes from fishing nets. There is 1.1 to 3.6 trillion plastic on the great pacific ocean and because of its animals on the sea are dying. And the bird’s too, like seagulls, turtle’s and other fishes on the ocean, and because of it, the ocean is getting destroyed. The garbage on the ocean kills a lot of turtles too because 74% per cent of the diet of turtles is plastic. The ocean contains some plastic that has been in the ocean for decades, this plastic must have been cut to small peace’s. 

10 interesting facts about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch | Eradicate  Plastic

Sum up: 

So this is why people should try to stop using plastic and try to put it in the right bin so it can be recycled and can be reused instead of throwing it on the ocean and killing animals that live in the ocean.

Esol Blog - what do we think of this term

 Hello, today ill share the game that we played yesterday. In ESOL we have played a game named bomb thing, I'm not sure, the game has a bomb and letters you have 10 sec to say a word that has ch like the beach, the beach word has a ch everybody needs to think of a word that has ch, you can't repeat a word that has already said. I think this term is a bad term. we didn't do much and we just did work on our Chromebook. we did learn some stuff but still. I think this term is a boring term and I hope next year it would be more fun and enjoyable.
