Class Essay Questions

Year 10 Persuasive Writing 2018 Jackson Barnes

Firstly, I believe that it is very important to maintain old buildings because they have historical and cultural significance and economic value.

What is historic, and worth saving, varies with the beholder, but some definition is urgent. Simply put, “historic” means “old and worth the trouble.” It applies to a building that’s part of a community’s tangible past. And to a degree that may surprise cynics, old buildings can offer opportunities for a community’s future.

This article examines both the cultural and practical values of old buildings and looks at why preserving them is beneficial not only for a community’s culture but also for its local economy. Local people also want those buildings to be in the same area and remain in the same area as it is in today. Eventually, there will be a time where buildings will need to be knocked down but should have value to the public.

The Growing NZ Innervation Challenge

Title

My experience with The Growing NZ Innervation Challenge

Introduction

Over the last five weeks of the term,  the way I've experienced this challenge has been a unique way to learn about a different issue that happens in a lot of the world. The topic my group and I have researched is water scarcity, with smart things and smart machines as our two enablers. Water defines the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage around within the region. It's the topic chosen for the reason being it would be an important issue that would be a good example for research. 

Reflection

I feel that we presented with my simple show successfully and in a way where it made it interesting. Although I think having a whole team would make life a lot easier it is still well presented. We found a lot of decent research to put it all together.

10DTE Coding Project

Our "Lit" PUBG App

Introduction

Over the term, my group and I have been working on coding for an app/game on code.org about tips and tricks about the game 'PUBG'. I have learnt a lot about coding and how it works in terms of creating an app and putting things in order with each other. We have put down ideas of what we could put as our tips and added lists of what the weapons are and how they work. The Definite problem was finding difficulty in getting stuck into the coding and helping out each other in the group as a team. Although we had our troubles along the way, we did come up with some really great ideas to make this appealing to the reader as to find ways to improve in the game itself.

Reflection

I feel that even have presented the app well with the image I used and layout, only thing is that I felt like there was a lack of teamwork and completion. We could've worked on the coding a lot more than we and get stuff done a lot quicker than we did. But overall, I think we didn't do too bad especially production wise. We also came up with different ideas of games we could have made tips and tricks for, like Fortnite, PUBG, Minecraft, Overwatch or realm royale. We also named some of the weapons of some the ones out of the game.

How Has Technology Changed The Way We Do Things

Tech has changed the way we do things as it's improved as time goes on through generations. It's changed our everyday tasks and learning to change how we live. For example, travelling, it's become more evolved with cars, planes and ships. Another example is cleaning, cleaning clothes or dishes have become more high tech with dishwashers and washers instead of hand-washing for it to become easier. And the last example is reading, we can read and research on google for almost anything you would have to ask.

10DTE - Interland Is Awesome!

Interland Is Awesome!

 Introduction
Over this past week, I have been playing this online game created by Google that teaches the user what a digital citizenship is in and how most importantly to become internet safe. This game is called 'Interland' and my task was to analyze this game and how it helps us learn about being internet safe.

Digital Learning Object
The Interland Interactive game made by Google Inc.

Reflection

I really wouldn't expect to have this make fun playing a game like the Interland experience. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone how hasn't given it a go, and it's a great learning experience.There were four different levels included in the game design. There are four main levels which are: Reality river, Mindful Mountain, Tower of Treasure, and Kind Kingdom. The first level is Kind Kingdom. Kind Kingdom is based off Blocking cyber bullies, and trap them behind bars so they can’t get to the victim that the bully can’t get to them. You also hand out positive content to the people that get/have been bullied. You also get to jump from platform to platform to get to your destination. In Mindful Mountain you share information with friends on social media, the info that is being sent is private and personal stuff which is you’ve got to think twice whether to post it or not. The design is to find correct patterns and pathways. The third level is a level called Tower of Treasure where the aim of the game is to run in a temple-run like a platform whilst collecting different letters/symbols on a keyboard to form a hacker-proof password. To start off, you create a simple password but as the levels progress, you add in capital letters and randomized symbols to make it virtually unguessable. Last but not least is the fourth level which is  Reality River. Reality River is basically a level where the player is set in a river trying to cross it. To cross the river the player must answer the questions correctly in order to move up a step. The questions vary but mainly focus on Online Phishing and scam/fake emails. The player is shown many possible answers to the question but only one of the answers are correct.

10SocialStudies-Slave Trade Triangle Paragraphs

What is the Slave Trade Triangle?

The first slaves to America went to Charles Town, South Carolina. Here slaves would be sold in auctions. The voyage began from Europe to Africa, this is known as the first passage. The cargo carried are guns and other weapons. The Africans were then traded for the guns. The Africans got sold the guns and then the African Slaves got on board the ships.

What is the Middle Passage?

The slaves were then shipped to the USA and processed for auction.The Middle Passage was the crossing from Africa to the Americas, which the ships made carrying their 'cargo' of Slaves. The Africans were treated very poorly, for example, The slaves were extremely claustrophobic as the Slaves were close to each other and treated like animals and they hardly had any food or water. The men were forced to dance and be manipulated.

What is the Third Passage

Once they arrived in America, they were sold to wealthy Slave owners. Once they were purchased they were branded and put to work in the fields. The life of a slave was exhausting and they would have to work all night and day. All the Cotton, Tobacco and other products are put back on ships and sent to Europe. Once the ships get to Europe, they are sold. This is known as the Third Passage. Then more guns and weapons are purchased. The guns got purchased and traded for the Slaves.

10SoSt - Harriet Tubman Research

"You think Harriet Tubman was walking around with a shiny fkn dress on with a fkn crown on ha head when she was taking slaves... TO FREEDOM." - Nicki Minaj

SoSt - Work songs

Explain the feeling that you get when you listen to these songs? I feel like it was kinda sad because that's the only way slaves would be able to entertain themselves with a dark topic like that.

What kind of information about slavery did you learn from these songs? That it had a bigger meaning behind them.

What can you relate to in any of these songs? working all day.

What do you think the slaves are talking about in these songs? How they would express how they are feeling in the songs.

10DTE - Yikes, you've been sitting wrong!

Yikes, You've Been Sitting Wrong!

Introduction

Over the past week in Digital Tech we have been working on ergonomic infographics and it was a huge challenge! I made a few mistakes along the way but it was definitely worth it. This infographic shows information about correct sitting posture and how to actually use the parts of your seat to your own benefit! I created this infographic using a free-to-use site called canva which is awesome for creating posters and infographics online!

Here are some examples of ways for better posture:

-Legs should bend over the leg just before where your knees are

 -Your back should be straight against the seat for proper posture

       -Your feet should be touching the ground to have more comfortably 

Reflection

I have enjoyed working on this infographic and it has taught me more than I knew before about correct seating posture and the ergonomic uses of any computer chair. I have worked hard on presenting it well and making sure that it catches the readers eye.

Human Rights

In social studies, I've created a poster listing all thirty human rights and in order.
The first human right that I have chosen is no torture - having no torture is a human right that makes the world a safe place.
Second human right I picked is freedom to move - freedom of movement is important for any activity.
third human right is marriage and family - having marriage and family helps the ability to have love for others and relationships.
fouth human right is food and shelter - this is super important to live and health.
last/fifth human right is a fair and free world - this helps towards equality and freedom.

10Mn Class treaty

In social studies, have a class treaty in 10Mn (in our class) because we needed it for equality and class rights. We signed it so everyone in our class shares those rules/rights to make this class have an agreement. They both are made of paper, they are both written with ink. It is different to the Waitangi treaty because our class treaty isn't as formal or signed by as many people.

We all signed this treaty for proof of confirmation from every single person in this class. This shows that we agreed to follow this treaty to the best of our abilities.

How is our class treaty the same as the Treaty of Waitangi?

I would say that a couple of similarities would be that it is both signed by mainly 2 parties (in our case the Teacher and the Students). Also, another reason is that they both decide on something that helps both parties (in our case it helps everyone be respected and comfortable).

How is our class treaty different than the Treaty of Waitangi?

I would say that a few differences would be that Our treaty was signed in the modern day (2018) rather than the Treaty of Waitangi (1840). Another difference would be that our treaty was signed only for a size of 1 class rather than the Treaty of Waitangi which was signed for pretty much the whole of New Zealand.
