METH 'Jessica' PSA ad ~ English

'Jessica' Meth PSA. Harmful effects of drugs

There is a clear connection to drugs in the ‘Jessica’ PSA ad that talks about a teenage girl named Jessica that is addicted to meth and her story. This is shown by the use of lighting in this ad, showing that Jessica’s life went from happy, joyful, energetic to dark, and shows the addiction she now has and how it’s impacted her life and others. This is demonstrated when it went from her on the cheer squad with the crowds cheering for her to then getting gradually worse over time. The director's purpose is to show the audience that meth or any type of drug can mess up your life and break close relationships with people. This situation reminds me of all the stories or movies that show the theme that drugs will mess up your life and how overall will mess up your future.

Ideal World ~ English

In English, we are thinking creatively for today we are talking about: If you have the power to change the world what would it be and look like?.

In my ideal world, I would have peace where everyone will get along and no one would have beef ( no drama and no problems). Everyone will have soft hair and soft skin because...... yo... Everyone should keep the earth healthy and happy. People will live longer because the amount of death is sad BUT when you die you get reincarnated to a different life

How to make it a reality: Maybe by giving each other compliments, help clean around your neighbourhood. Don't know about the soft skin, hair, and life bit though.

Hi, I’m rose, there is something unique about me, no I'm not born with extra body parts, But I was born with supernatural power. I am a shapeshifter, for people that don’t know about shapeshifting, shapeshifting is a person that can shapeshift into and object or a creature. OH, you're probably wondering how old I am …. I’m 17 and you're also probably wondering where my little friend went. He’s still here he’s just next door, To be honest, 13 years ago he was sooooooooooo cute and I looked at him as a friend, but now he has had a glow up, he went from a 5 to a 10. Now he's just hot, but of course, people from our school think they are in love with him at first glance, well I call a lot of crap. ANYWAY MOVING ON him and I have been close friends but to him I am a close friend maybe even best friend, Lucky he doesn’t find me to be sibling metral , BUT he is to me a close friend but I really have had a crush on him since we were 4 but the thing is he doesn’t know how much attention I give to him.

Speeches- English

In English this term we are learning about presenting and talking to the class. We are showing this by doing speeches, people in my class have different types of speeches such as a favourite show to personal experiences. Mine is about Breakup and Relationships.

We first started off presenting to the whole class but after that, we have the option to present it to the whole class, so I decided to present it to the whole class.

So like I said before mine is about break-ups and relationship, I only did this topic because it is a personal experience and It will probably inspire people ( if you want to see it then comment down below with your email so I can send it to you)

I am proud that I did it because it will help me and other people in their lives.

The thing I will change next time is to be just a BIT more confident in it because I am worried that people will laugh at me for showing my emotions.

Schools should get rid of Uniform? (Debate Topic) - English

Schools should get rid of uniform?

Would you imagine if your child got lost in a school field trip and they got reported missing? Imagine if your teenage daughter exits the house only wearing a crop top, and high shorts revealing everything God gave her?  Or even when your child is being recognized for doing something right for our country? Whatever your opinion or situation is schools shouldn’t lose their school uniform for educational purposes, what I mean by that is….

Say you were on a school field trip and you got lost in the petting zoo and there is a crowd of adults with their kids, you get lost and you start wondering around trying to find someone that looks familiar but it seems like you can’t find anyone. In this scenario, it is really important to have a school uniform because it’s going to be easy finding your school plus if you get reported missing they can describe you. Some people can easily find another person from school but others can’t.

One day your teenage daughter isn’t your little princess/ baby anymore because she walked out of the house in a crop top, high shorts which are revealing a lot of her body, No one wants to see a girl that shows too much. If your child's school doesn’t have a uniform , they can abuse that and dress about inappropriately. These generation girls that are pre-teens and teens wear clothes that are either too high or revealing and in my opinion, makes me cringe because to think that girls that are younger than me are wearing clothes that reveal too much, to me they're still a little baby and it just looks wrong :(

Your child is on a school convention and they have just won a trophy and the announcer said “ Hello, and what school do you go to?”  because she/he is confused. When you get an achievement normally your parent takes a photo of you next to your trophy wearing your uniform but if you have no uniform on it looks unpresentable. Here's another one, say your child saw some rubbish on the ground and they picked it up, someone saw it and they wanted to tell your school that on of their students picked up rubbish but they can’t so they just ignored it. Some adult likes to say to you good things you are doing in the world.

As you can see from this information that school uniforms shouldn’t be taken away because of your child/ school mate could get lost and can’t find anyone from there school, that your teenage child is dressing up in revealing clothing, and that of your child got recognized for something great they are doing for the school.

English: Another World - Diversity

What does Diversity mean to me?: My definition is diffrent backgrounds and culture. 

What did you already know? : I knew some writing styles when we were doing essays

What did you learn this year? : How to make a good structured essays

Diversity meaning people of all different backgrounds and culture. So in English this year we have been learning about people from different worlds eg Silent voice. Silent voice is a Japanese movie that is about this guy bullying a girl that is deaf. This helped me learn that don't bully anyone if you don't know their story or background. When I came into English I knew some different writing styles BUT out of this year so far I have learnt how to make good structured essays.

Chlidren Of Blood and Bone- English Essay

Children of blood and bones

Ever thought of what type of writing methods writers use in their story? In Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, The author used methods such as symbolism, Events/ Plot, Multiple perspectives to engage the reader with the text. These methods help the reader to engage with different writing methods to hook their readers in.

Symbolism is used to help the reader understand what values of items or clothes the person in the story has a connection to that item of clothing/items. Here is one of the examples…. Chapter 47 - Inan

“I drop the pawn in the dirt and kick it aside. I must draw a line in the sand. I’ve been a sheep. A sheep when my kingdom needed me to act like a king.” That sênet pawn represents his father, every time he holds on to it, it reminds him of his father. Once he drops it, it represents his disobey to his father. The other words such as “ line in the sand”, and “Sheep” it’s a metaphor. Like the line in the sand means he has put his wall saying” this is where I stop” and “sheep” means like a follower. I think that Tomi included symbolism to her story is to make the readers relate to it.

Events/Plot is used to help the reader understand the different twists and turns in the book and also to keep the reader entertained and wanting to read more. For example..In Chapter 12, Inan brings Zélie to the dreamscape for the first time and they both realize that Inan is a Maji. In the movie Star Wars we later find out the Luke and Lea are Brother and Sister and Darth Vader is there dad. In that movie that was the twist that got me. I think that Tomi included events/plot to her story is to make the reader entertained and to think what’s going to happen next.

Multiple perspectives are used to help the reader understand different point of views. For example...Zélie is from a poor village, Her community is made to pay higher taxes because they have white hair, She wants to bring magic back to her people. As for Amari and Inan they live in a castle in Lagos, There community feels hatred towards the Maji and they are wealthy BUT Amari wants to save the Maji as for Inan he wants to obey his fathers wishes to become king and to get rid of all the maji. The author also included multiple perspectives in the book which is where they show Inan’s point of view is when he is stabbed by his father. The next chapter showed Amari’s point of view when Inan was getting stabbed. I think Tomi included multiple perspectives to her story is to make the reader see people's different point of views.

As you can see Tomi wanted to add these Methods/Techniques because she wanted her readers to know the different ways to make your storying more entertaining by adding these techniques/ methods such as symbolism, multiple perspectives, events/plot, and etc. Symbolism meaning the charter connection to the object, multiple perspectives meaning the different perspectives/ points of view, events/plot is when there are different twists and turns and it builds up your suspense.

Character Strengths - English ( Update everytime)

In English, we are learning about Character Strengths in Movies, Novels and etc. Here is the ones I've done so far...

I saw this trate in Zootopia where Chief Bogo said to Judy that she is on parking duty because she is a BUnny and he thinks that she isn’t capable of a bigger job.




I saw a different perspective in the movie Tarzan because we saw how Tarzan's life is different from the rest of the humans.

I saw Bravery in Tarzan when Tarzan stok ( can't spell) up for the Gorilla and human tribs making them not fight and at war.

This trait is basically in every movie. Because some charter ( mainly the main one) falls in love with a side one or the other main characters

I saw this in one Episode in Avatar where one trib was fighting with the other one.

This trate was in Tarzan when Tarzan and Jane fell in love and when Jane was understanding/ learning Tarzan's life.






(Whether you are religious or not, it is healthy to think about your place in the world).

English Essay- Zootopia

Zootopia

Nick Wilde ( a Fox) is a  character in the movie “ Zootopia” directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, is a character that changes his emotions and opinions a lot in this film. One of the main characters in this film is a little bunny (named Judy) who made an impact in his life while she was doing her police duty in Zootopia, she made him change his opinion a lot in this film.

Nick is an ordinary animal in Zootopia, living his life like everyone else was BUT he is a hustler, he likes to sell things off the side of the street to earn money. Nick and his “kid” went to the ice cream shop to buy a BIG JUMBO POP ( but he didn’t bring his wallet, he wants it for free) BUT the store owner ( an elephant ) refused to sell him it because he is a fox. Judy saying “ Just because he is a fox doesn’t mean he should be treated differently” so the owner of the shop sold him the JUMBO POP. I think in this scene Nick is a caring person but he is also a hustler.  

In the middle of the movie, Judy finds Nick because she has an important case of finding missing animals that have gone wild, of course Nick didn’t want to but Judy finds a way to make him join the case. So Nick and Judy go on this case and Nick opens up more and more about himself. I like this scene so much because Nick opens up about his past.

At the end of Zootopia Nick and Judy have become closer. This is because Nick is now on the police force because he helped Judy with the missing animal's case files. We see that Nick has changed his opinion about Judy because at the start of the film he said “ Sly Fox, Dumb Bunny” but now he said “ Dumb Fox, Sly Bunny”. I Loved this scene because Nick and Judy are good friends/work partners and that Nick has changed his opinion about the animals around him.

In Conclusion, Nick came a long way from the start, being a hustler that didn’t care what other animals think of him to a nice open “person” that can talk about his feelings to other animals without shying away.

Nick is an ordinary animal in Zootopia, living his life like everyone else was BUT he is a hustler, he likes to sell things off the side of the street to earn money.One day he was getting the ingredients to make a product to sell ( in this case he was going to make popsicles) but he was trying to get a BIG JUMBO POP for free because he didn’t have his wallet on him. Then Suddenly this little Bunny named “Officer” Judy Hopps comes into his life saying “ Just because he is a fox doesn’t mean he should be treated differently, now sell this man and his kid a JUMBO POP or i’ll have to put you in court for having a non-gloved trunk”. This is because in this ice cream shop, Nick and his “kid” ( but really it’s his work buddy) was just lining up to buy a JUMBO POP BUT the owner refused to sell him it because he is a fox. Meanwhile Judy walks in while that conversation is happening and

Super Girl- English Review 👏👏

Super Girl Review

A message from Supergirl, Welcome to Earth is that everyone should be accepted to the world no matter what they are. This is because everyone in the world is different from you. We saw this in the scene where the president was making a speech saying that. This is why I think it is important to respect/accept what other people are.
It makes me think about how much it relates to people that live on this earth that don’t/do accept people for what they are.

English

Tarzan:

In English, we are doing a movie/ Book review. We are studying the movie Tarzan. Here is some of my thoughts about it.

“ Two Worlds, One Family”

In my opinion it means people are live in different parts of the world but we are all the same because we are humans and we should be treated the same like a family.

What ideas/ messages are present in Disney’s Tarzan

• That everyone should be treated the same.It doesn’t matter if you live in a different worlds we should all be treated as one.
• Treat nature with respect ( such as animals)
• Family is not determined by blood.

Why do you think the author created this story? Mybye they wanted a diffrent storyline than the others

What is the purpose (reason) for writing this story? To teach a moral.

What is the author trying to explain? Don't steal other peoples stuff or you will be punished later on.

What did the characters learn? Don't do bad things or you will be punished.

How did the characters grow or change? Spoiler: One charter dies ( Got cut up) and the other drowns

Why did the characters act this way? Because the other one stole there fruit.

Why do you think the story came into existence? Because the author wanted moral and a different type of story.

What did you learn about the Philippines from reading the story? That you will be punished if you do a bad thing.

What do you think the purpose of this story is? For a diffrent type of story and a moral.

Why do you think this story is important to the people of the Philippines? Don't do bad thing because you will get punished later.

Make it pop with different colours instead of keeping it the same one every time. ( especially the background)

One thing I might change about this story is the ending it's too brutal. I would make the Monkey have karma until he dies of natural courses.
