Persuasive Writing - It is Wrong to Fight

WALT Write a Persuasive Writing

I agree that It is wrong to fight and it is a negative way to solve things

___________________________________________________________________________________________

My most important reason is that it is a very negative solution to most problems. Physical contact or words could harm people mentally and physically causing the insult to expand or be isolated within the victim’s mind. Media is a commonly used thing today as well as phones, so an example could be cyberbullying which could be sent all around the world, that’s how it expands to being a viral situation. Now the world knows something new and bad things start to happen, police would be defensive and try to protect you but does that always work? That’s why it’s wrong to fight.     

___________________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are people who fight back and get injured even more, same with the words because they could be sent verbally or in person. And some people just don’t want to talk about it. For example, fighting would be a way to relieve stress or to show off as an intimidating person, which is a bad reputation to present yourself.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Relationship with people would be low and people would become more anti social towards each other. We have suspicion about the people we see/meet and there are times when people could be pulled into things such as fighting. You may be arguing for someone else or fighting in there place to protect them, but now the problem is bigger. The person you just protected would either fight with you or run away, if he fought the man would be beat and left alone or  sent to the police, that or they might beat you both. If he/her ran, the innocent person who protected him/her may be beaten up, killed, hurt badly or sent running away. That’s not what we want the world where everyone's afraid of everyone because our earth wouldn’t be called home sweet home anymore.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

What do I think about this piece of persuasive writing?

It’s a stupid thing to do and it’s smart. I really want to persuade the audience into thinking that it is bad/wrong to fight, we want peace.

Me and Lj don’t have an Ipad. We both use the internet, We both spend the entire day on our devices. Lj doesn’t have a phone or playstation compared to me. Lj spends 3 more hours on the internet than me.

• Analyse and compare your graph with a partner and discuss the differences between your graphs.

Personal Reflection Question

• What is your viewpoint about the role of digital media and how these digital media plays a big part in your life today? In other words, how will digital media impact (influence) on your life in the future? Will this be positive or negative? Why?

I don’t think the future would be the active type, seeing how we are today anyways/ sort of. Though I can imagine the world being very social online but anti social in person. We would either create a lot of relationships or an online war, it all depends.

WALT Identifying Language Features in a text - Author's Purpose
Hello and welcome, here is one of my set task on how to respond/evaluate an authors/poet's poem 'The Embarrassment Expert'

Evaluating the Author’s Purpose - The Embarrassment Expert

I am learning to evaluate the author’s purpose

You must learn the ways of being embarrassed and learn the ways of how to overcome that embarrassment, in the end it shall all disappear into yesterday.

Persuasive Writing - It's Okay to be Different

It’s Okay to be Different

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Intro

In my opinion being different is okay and that we should show who we really are

____________________________________________________________________________________________

My most important reason is that people should not be embarrassed about being different, because being different is normal and that you shouldn’t try to be like everybody else. I think that when you are different it shows that you are unique and it makes you an interesting person out of other people.

For example, what if someone wanted to be exactly like you when they can’t, when they try to do what you do, when they try to think, see, feel what you feel, but they can’t. Because they are somebody with their own things, feelings, thoughts that nobody can do but you, because you are the only you.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

It’s the same with twins, they may look the same, and could probably think the same, but what about  the other things. Twins can be the complete opposite of each other that they might not even look same, or  like what the other likes. Because they’re different. Some twins actually hate  each  other for being the same, they try so hard to be different that they might even do something they won’t think the other would imagine. Now, just imagine that but all around the world. You will think, feel, do, change like everybody else, so much that everybody hates each other because if one person is angry, everybody is angry for the same reason.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

If a number, letter, character, species or universe is different, then imagine that you are one of those things. In one of those 5 subjects I gave you, there are countless things that you could’ve possibly been. Like a planet out of a trillion or a number out of various one’s in other cultures. See, you could mean the same thing but be completely different, so different that others would want to learn about you.    

____________________________________________________________________________________________

I strongly believe that when somebody else is different or trying to be like you then they really should just be themselves, because not everyone want’s to be

the boring and most predictable person, that’s just a disappointing way to describe life as being interesting.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

What do I think about this piece of persuasive writing? I like it, it focuses mainly on what I’m trying to debate and it makes the statement, opinions, reasons and examples stand out.

Olympic Athlete Uses The 3 Key Values

Learning Intention

IAL to explain how an olympic athlete has shown the 3 key values of ‘respect’, ‘excellence’ and ‘friendship’ at this year’s Rio Olympics.

• What does ‘excellence’ look like for an athlete? Provide examples and explain in detail.
• Why is ‘friendship’ one of the olympic values this year?
• What does respect look like for an athlete during the Olympics?

Olympic Athlete Uses The 3 Key Values

__________________________________________________________________________________

excellence

Luuka jones has shown ‘Excellence’ by doing her best in the olympic women's rowing singles and retrieving herself a silver medal and coming second for NZ. She looks pleased with her reward and is. In an interview after the match she has said that she had a very calm and confident mindset while doing very good runs. She gave herself some goals in the places which needed to be improved and worked on to become more excellent. She was a positive player in the rowing competition and didn’t mind that she didn’t come first, she was also supportive for the other competitors and will be training more for the next match.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Friendship

The reason ‘Friendship’ is apart of the Olympics is because they want a nice and kind spirited game, by they I mean the IOC. This makes opponents more comfortable and confident during the olympics and for a much more better performance. It doesn’t discourage the others and all are playing very equal. It’s for a much more peaceful and good environment.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Respect

Respect in the Olympics looks like people giving handshakes before and after their match. It’s to be honorable to the other opponent by being equally and respectful/kind to one another. This also symbolises friendship by being positive and by being a good sportsmanship. They respect each and everything because it’s like, being fair. You have to respect the rules that are there to follow and respect the environment and players for peaceful relationships with one another, also respecting other's culture and country.

My Group Article Review - Bloom's Taxonomy - Olympics

I was the leader for my group and it went really good. Everybody was working together and was happy with what they were given to work on, happy pupils means good work.
The skills that I used to understand the article were evaluating and skimming and scanning, I went through some sites and asked my group members (Sometimes helping group members).
The thing I will need to work on to improve in future task would be to use more vocabulary and make my work more confidently than rushing.
The picture is of the brainstorm that my group made with the news article in the middle and all the words, that described the whole thing from the various sites that I have search.
