[10Eng] William Shakespeare

In English, we are currently learning about William Shakespeare and his life. We are learning this to know about his work and what influence he has had on people today. We learned this by researching information and then making DLO's to show what we have learned. If I had a question, I would ask what inspired him to make plays, like if it was something that he saw or something that he did that inspired him.


[#1] Life + Times of Shakespeare

If I had a question to ask about Elizabethan England it would be why was not attending church a offense when people could be having another belief.

[#2] Elizabethan England


If I had a question about Elizabethan England, what made them think about sound effects such as rolling a cannonball across the floor to make a lightning effect.

#3 Elizabethan Theatre

If I had a question about Shakespeare's work, I would ask why did he only make a play named after 1 of his daughters and leaving out his other children.

[10Eng] Country living is good for young people.

Country living is a different way of living compared to living in an urban area. Urban areas have lots of new technology that most rural areas have never heard of. You could probably find something useful to help in the rural areas. They might not even get used to the environment compared to the underestimated, unique, urban areas. Urban areas have a lot of junk food litter everywhere unlike the Country areas there is barely any litter. This could heavily influence a young person to litter as well. They could affect their personal health if they eat lots of junk food like McDonald's or Burger King. I mean, do you want to be fat?

[10DTE] Our Awesome Fortnite App!

Our Awesome Fortnite App!

Introduction

Over the past few weeks, Braxton, Cameron and I have been creating a stunning app which I would proudly introduce. Our Fortnite App! Our fortnite app includes tips and tricks and pickaxe skins from in the game! We still need a bit more time to finish up on it and add more information and a bit more pictures but I think that it has been a good few weeks to work on our app and to see how well it has progressed. It took me a while to code the buttons especially the back buttons.

Reflection

I have learned a lot in a term, I learned how to code buttons that actually work and more! I know this because I have tested this multiple times and it had finally worked after a lot of confusion. It shows this by all the buttons you press in the app.
I think that we all did contribute but there was 1 person who did get off task every now and then, and it did affect our outcomes because we didn't get much artwork on the app. I was happy with my group because I was comfortable to talk about some ideas that I have. 

Our final product wasn't finished because someone got a bit off task during our work and we didn't have enough tips to add on. I would probably remind the person to stay on task and help with the app. I have experienced a lot making the app, some ups and downs but I am still proud of what I have learned in just a term.

The website that we used to develop the app is called Studio Code / App Lab.

What do you think we could add to our app next time?

[10Mus] Performance Evaluation (Moana, How Far I'll Go)

The song we chose to do for our group performance was How Far I'll Go from the movie Moana.

1) Were you happy with your performance?
Yes, I think that our performance was good because we put all of our efforts into the song and it turned out good.

2) How did you feel performing in front of an audience?
I felt shaky and nervous when we were about to perform but as we kept going with the song, the nervousness went away.

3) What was your final grade and were you happy with it? My final grade was an excellence, which was better than I expected, I thought we were going to get a merit because of the minor mistakes that we did throughout the song.

4) How could you have improved your performance?
We could fix up a few mistakes but overall it was decent.

[10Eng] Success in sport is all about winning.

Success in sport, is it really all about winning? Sometimes it may, or sometimes it won't even matter. You could learn from your mistakes and practice, practice and practice until you get better! Sometimes when you win a good game to play and have bragging rights. Sometimes you can even learn something from the opposition and try it for the next time you play! This is what I think, I would be curious to see what you think!

[10Eng] An increase in immigration numbers would be good for New Zealand.

[10SoSt] King Khufu

This about King Khufu, the king who has the biggest pyramid, also known as Giza. I thought Khufu was interesting because how he treated the people who build the pyramid. He gave everything they wanted to work happily unlike slaves which we learned about in the past. I chose to make a poster about him because he was the one who created the Pyramid of Giza.
