the highlight for term two for me was when Mr Vorster came into FINV as he actually taught something unlike any of the other classes.
this whole term has not worked out for me as teachers have taught me nothing and my favorite subject has been made boring because they haven't changed the topic for more that 1 1/2 years.
Most our water is salt water
most our freshwater is trapped in ice'
only one percent of all water is drinkable
most of all the water used is for agriculture
all personal water uses don't add up to even half of our water usage
for one glass of beer it takes more that 75 liters
people try to grow water needy plants and crops in the desert
it takes more then 100 liters of water for one quarter pounder
lots of countries have to walk miles just to get water
places have been experimenting with people paying for water with income.
his week we learnt about the states of matter, there was lots of work that i already knew and mostly we learnt a out really easy and basic stuff. the tasks were also not long enough and i finished them in 1-2 days and i was left with nothing to do the other days I also didn't learn much as the work i already new and it wasn't challenging.
this week we learned about the bear brook murders. I ended up being sick Tuesday and Thursday so i missed half of the lessons but i still enjoyed the first week and learnt lots
stretch your wallet:
what i liked: I enjoyed the whole budgeting aspect and i liked the cooking
what i didn't: i didn't enjoy all the tech practice assessments and things
what could be improved: have a bit less tech practice and more budgeting
whats in the news:
what i liked: I enjoyed the whole class and it taught me a lot
what i didn't: I didn't like the whole making a news story too much and there wasn't too much science stuff
what could be improved: add a bit more science experiments and maybe add a bit more freedom.
Friday well being:
what i liked: that it helped me understand some big issues better
what i didn't like: it is a pointless waste of time that wasted a block and held me back on my impact project potential
what could be improved: don't have it next term
making a difference:
what i liked:
what i didn't like: it was another pointless RE class and it wasted 4 blocks a week so almost 6 hours a week
what could be improve: don't have this bad class or RE in general
my first one is fairness as i find it important and i think that fairness is really important as racism and lots of social justice issues start with unfairness. You can use fairness by treating everyone equally no matter their race, ethnicity, weight or country of origin.
my second one is humor. humor is good because it can make stressful situations a lot easier to handle. showing humor to make others feel better is a very useful skill and can make people less stressed very easily.
my last one is perspective because perspective is everything because by your perspective your being a hero and in another your a terrorist. I think having a relevant and good perspective is very important because otherwise it can make things very deceiving because you think your doing something good but your really doing something really bad
