PBL

Group:
Me, Damien, Kegan and Dasharn (4 civilized men)

The topics that we have chosen is public art.

We have only found 1 website that was actually helpful to us.


The issue that it could lead to, is that it could give people the feeling of loneliness, or it could be classed as vandalism.


What was a good idea was that we where going to put up a poster for the community to write underneath what they would like to do before they leave school.


The whole idea for this, is becuase we want people to have a sorta bucket list that they would like to do before they leave school and have some goals.

HERE IS OUR PLAN SO FAR:

Steps needed to achieve the goal.
What will help us achieve this goal?(Enablers)
Possible barriers and how they could be overcome.
Who is responsible for this step?
Date this step will be achieved by.

Persuasive Essay

Should Gaming be allowed in school or not?

Should gaming be allowed in schools or should it be banned in all schools? Gaming can help us or it can't  help us later in life. Gaming in schools should be both allowed and not allowed  because it can teach us new techniques, but we could get off task, we could get distracted and some people could get degrees at university for gaming

Gaming can give us new tips that we haven't learned or techniques to use while on a computer.An example of this, is that you can increase your ability with typing on typing.com.Typing.com is a website where it teaches you how to improve your typing and helps you get faster and learn the keyboard/number pad of by heart, or it can help you to put the finger on the right place on a keyboard.This techniques is one out of many which can help you while using a computer

Even though gaming can teach us new techniques, but we could get distracted while we are in another class.We can get distracted by fidgeting while the teacher is teaching or we could distract others from they're learning.Teachers hate students that get distracted but not all of them do. Gaming in schools should be allowed but students should not fidget while in class or in a exam.Over all, we shouldn't get distracted or fidgety but the council should allow games in schools.


Students may do gaming for a subject but when they go to another class,they can get off task and play games instead or leaning.This happens when a student gets asked by a teacher to do work but instead goes and plays game behind the teacher's back.Students play behind the teacher's back because they either think they are cool,think that the work is all boring and stupid or they could just not wanna do work at all.Students should only play games either in free time or in their own time. They shouldn't play games behind the teacher's back.

Learning good techniques with gaming in schools, can help us decide what we want to do when we leave school. Some students could want to go to university and get degrees in gaming or go all out “geek” mode and just sit around and do nothing but gaming.
Doing nothing but gaming is really bad for your health. Just sitting around doing nothing can make you fat and people will call you lazy.Gaming can be distracting for teacher's and it definitely can teach us knew techniques, but most of all, people can really like the idea of gaming so they want to go to university after finish school.

Gaming  can help anyone but they're are also consequences with gaming.
Gaming can have consequences but most of them can be good later in life,like, getting a degree in university,getting distracted,getting off task and also teach us new techniques.

The council should allow gaming but on certain terms and conditions

Should dangerous sports be banned??

Well dangerous sports shouldn't be banned because of the fact that people would like to have a challenge or even take a risk.  Dangerous sports IE base jumping or running with the bulls are all dangerous and very scary but it also gives people the chance to have a go at something new to do or try. I reckon that dangerous sports should not be banned because people can risk themselves if they want to do it and to give it a go.

Risk/Challenge speeches



Image result for speeches
Speeches,Speeches, speeches. I hate them! I had to do a speech about something starting with s. When I heard that we were doing speeches, I felt nervous and scared. I had about 1-2 weeks to plan and practice my speech. We all had to do a speech. It was a real challenge for me because of the fact that I was bad at writing speeches and presenting them.


I didn't know what to do for my speech. Then I thought why not do it about ships. So I went on the internet and searched up facts about ships. After a week or 2, my speech was ready to present to my school. I felt nervous. I already could see what it would be like in my head. I also had sweat crawling down my face just  thinking about it. Then it was speech time and I had to go first!! Yayyyy…Not!!!


When they called  out my name I felt butterflies in my stomach and my knees were wobbling. Everyone was looking at me while I was walking up to the stage . Then I started. First I went quiet and my throat when dry like the grass in Africa. I could barely breathe, but I managed to start talking but softly. I then started to get louder. Everyone was looking at me like “what the hell is he on about?” and “why are you telling me this when I already know this?”


While I was doing my speech, I mucked up a lot. Everyone noticed, and I got to nervous to talk anymore. That nervous that I nearly fainted. But I kept trying and went to finish off my speech. I thought I was finished but instead I had 2 more cards left. I was saying to myself in my head to keep going soon. It'll be finished then someone else can do theirs but it was no use at all. I still felt sick and nauseous.


Finally, I was finished. I was sweating like a  pig. The butterflies in my stomach wear gone  and I could breathe again. My throat was still dry but It was going away slowly. On the way down from the stage on the stairs, I tripped and fell off the stairs and completely embarrassed myself. I looked up and everyone was laughing and pointing at me. Even the teachers were laughing! I was embarrassed. My face was red like the sunburnt I had in the weekend.

From that day forward  I promised myself to never do speeches again, but if I did then I would be careful walking down the stairs and make sure I know my speech of by heart

The outsiders essay

Planning Gather and Order ideas:
 Pony boy, how he changed after the fire in the church When he met cherri valance When johnny died When he got hit by darry Introduction: Ponyboy was the main character in the novel “the outsider” through out the novel, ponyboy changed many times. Most of the changes were bad but most of the were also good.

 SEXXXY 1:In the novel ‘the outsiders’ a main character ponyboy, showed many changes throughout the novel In the novel ‘ the outsiders’ ponyboy was just a cause 16 year old boy part of a gang called the greasers. He went to the nightly double with his gang member and there they met a girl named cherri valance. Ponyboy changed the way he was and acted nicer to cherri This shows the reader that ponyboy’s heart is not mean at all but is a nice kind person S.E Hinton did this effectively to show the differences of gangs and non gang members This is then showed again later in the novel when the greasers were about to have a rumble and ponyboy had feelings for cherri when they talked.

 SEXXXY 2:Pony boy got hit by darry his older brother and decided to run away from home Ponyboy got home late after the nightly double and darry was mad that he was late. Ponyboy tried to explain what happen but darry then hit ponyboy causing ponyboy to ran away back to johnny. Family can be tough at the age of 21 but this also means that you shouldn't really be back home late This shows that darry was just protective of ponyboy because he did not want to lose him liked he lost his parents in a car crash This was also further in the novel with the big rumble. Darry asked ponyboy if he was okay cause ponyboy was pretty sick and not feeling very well

 SEXXXY 3:Not only did pony-boy changed the way he acted but he changed when there was a fire at the place he was staying at when he ran away After pony boy ran away from darry hitting him, he then went into a church. A couple f days after when he was about to go home, the church caught on fire and in a instance ponyboy jumped into the burning church to save the children inside of it Ponyboy didn't think at all when he saw the burning church and heard that there were children inside of it and he changed to go and save them This proves to us that when people are in a tough situation, they don't think at all and try to get out of it or try and get through it This was shown a bit further in the novel when pony boy was in the rumble and he changed when he got into the rumble

 SEXXXY 4:Ponyboy was happy until johnny died Ponyboy was a bit sick but was also happy that the rumble had finished. He then went to johnny in the hospital to tell him the good news.johnny asked ponyboy to lean closer and johnny said to pony boy “stay gold” then johnny died causing ponyboy to change his feelings and to go from happy to straight up miserable Ponyboy loved johnny as johnny was the gangs pet. Johnny helped ponyboy ran away. Ponyboy was very sad to lose his best friend This show to us how easy it is to go from one emotion to quickly move to another emotions in seconds This was also shown near the start of the novel when ponyboy was sad when his parents had a car crash and he was thinking of them and started to get sad

 Conclusion: In conclusion ponyboy changed very much, but that was just a few of them in the novel “the outsiders” by S.E Hinton
