[11ENG] Creative Writing Practice 12/02/2019

Here is my writing piece that I added from The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.

I started at *.

 “I live in New York, and I was thinking about the lagoon in Central Park, down near Central Park South. I was wondering if it would be frozen over when I got home, and if it was, where did the ducks go? I was wondering where the ducks went when the lagoon got all icy and frozen over. I wondered if some guy came in a truck and took them away to a zoo or something.* Or if they just flew away. Maybe even hiding somewhere, warming up with the little ducklings." As I think about the lagoon I also think of the sky how beautiful it looks with the purple-blue fade overcrossing the whole New York City. As night falls, I go back to thinking about the lagoon. Seeing the trees wave side to side. I think of the fog, slithering like a snake, trying to find its prey. As the sun rises, I think of when the snow will melt away and if the ducks come back and enjoy Central Park as they did before.

[11ENG] Similes and Metaphors in Songs

English 8/02/2019

During English today, we are learning about similes and metaphors in songs. Our task was to find 2 songs and highlight the similes and metaphors in the songs.

Metaphors   Similes

Stitches - Shawn Mendes

I thought that I've been hurt before

But no one's ever left me quite this sore

Your words cut deeper than a knife

Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

Got a feeling that I'm going under

But I know that I'll make it out alive

If I quit calling you my lover

Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe

I'm shaking falling onto my knees

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

I'm tripping over myself

Aching begging you to come help

And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches

Just like a moth drawn to a flame

Roar - Katy Perry

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (hey!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, your hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up

Get ready 'cause I had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

You're gonna hear me roar!

Now I'm floating like a butterfly

Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes

10DTE Future Technology - Laser Cutting and 3D Printing.

Laser Cutting

What is Laser Cutting?

Laser cutting is a technology that cuts materials with a laser mostly used with optics. It is normally used for industrial use and is starting to be used by schools, hobbyists etc.

The outcome

The outcome of a laser cut object normally turns out great as long as you use the right material and match it with the correct amount of power level.

What does it look like?

3D Printing

What is 3D Printing?

3D Printing is a process where material is joined or solidified through computer control to created 3-dimensional objects. It is when a material is being added layer by layer to create the final product.

The outcome

The outcome of a 3D printed object isn't really that great. A 3D printer is usually really small and can make it look very pixelated. 3D printing is recommended for prototypes or mock-ups for a creation.

What does it look like?

What I created for the 3D printing project.

For the 3D printing project, we had to create something with a 3D printer that relates to Future Technology. I created a hovering table that hovers to you when you need it. It comes with a magnetic cup holder so your drink wouldn't fall off the table as it hovers to you. It has these projecting crystals that allow you to read the news as it is projecting in 3D above your table. It also comes with a solar panel charger that charges your table just by placing the table on top of the charger. When the table is not needed, the table will hover back to its charger to recharge for its next use! 

Discovery - Passion Projects 29/11/2018

Today was our final day to create our project, creating ice cream with dry ice and serving it in a chocolate bowl. We had a rocky start when we were creating the chocolate bowls as we got the wrong kind of chocolate. As the weeks progress we made improvements each time we did practical.

Our final product turned out alright as there were 2 flavours which was enough, we had 1 flavour which turned out awful as the mixed berry flavour was too overpowering. The other 2 flavours which turned out very nice were the oreo and apple flavour. The oreos turned out great whilst the apple flavour had minor setbacks like the skin was in the ice cream. Overall, I am proud of what I have created and happy that it turned out better than I had expected. Here are some pictures of our ice cream.

Today we finally created our final product (which does need a bit more practising). We created chocolate bowls out of balloons and made ice cream out of dry ice! It was a lot of fun creating this and here are some photos of our final product.

[10Eng] Persuasive Writing (School is the best place to make mistakes)

Persuasive Writing

This is my persuasive writing for English about School being the best place to make mistakes. 

Please Enjoy.

School is the best place to make mistakes

School is the best place to make mistakes, which I strongly agree with. I think it should be because school is a place to learn new things, increase your knowledge and it can also help you have a positive mindset knowing that you can learn from your mistakes.

Learning new things in school can really help increase your chance of getting a good job in the future. For example, if you were to become a doctor. You would probably be making mistakes every now and then. This is because you are learning something new and it is something you have never done before. I could be your first time and you might ace it or you might completely fail. In my opinion, I think that mistakes are more important than getting answers correct and you are not learning anything new.

Increasing your knowledge, a way to grow your brain to do amazing skills and know lots of things that can help you in the future. Growing knowledge like reading some cool or random facts of the internet and not knowing that before reading it. Increasing knowledge is an insane way to keep your brain on track and focused. Learning something new creates a new pathway which you lead you into your future life. In my opinion, I would love to learn something new and random every day to increase my knowledge.

Having a positive mindset, and knowing that you can learn from your mistakes is crucial. Having a good mindset can help you become a lot more positive and more inspired to keep on going and doing your best. For example, if you were in a soccer game and you lost. Most people would feel down but if you have a positive mindset you would learn from that and practice with your team a lot more and try to work on things that your team needs to work on. Having a positive mindset is very important because it could change the way you think and how you learn from your mistakes. In my opinion, I think that having a positive mindset is very important and try to remember.

So, is school the best place to make mistakes? In my opinion, Of course! School is where you learn something new and making mistakes help you learn something new. Increasing knowledge, having a positive mindset and making mistakes is normal for everyone. Making mistakes is what pushes you further to learn more and achieve more. And that is why I think making mistakes at school is perfectly fine and normal for all.
