Persuasive Writing

Friday 26th August 2016
This week Room 10 has been doing persuasive writing. The topic is about is it okay to be different (Agree or Disagree). I agreed that it IS okay to be different. Here is my persuasive writing about how it is okay to be different.
It is okay to be different
Statement:Is it okay to be different
Introduction:In my point of view, I think that it is okay to be different no matter who you are.Why is it okay to be different?

Reason #1:The reason why? I think that it is okay to be different because if everyone was same, life would be very boring but being different makes you feel unique. For example if every person in this world would be the same, how would you know which one is which. Also if every one had a bad attitude, the world wouldn't be a better place. When you are different you can do anything differently than the way others do it. When you are all the same, you wouldn't know how to do things differently. Furthermore if people was the same, they wouldn't be able to do anything that is challenging in your life. Instead it would  just be the same old days going past each year.

Reason #2:Another reason why?  I am sure that being different makes you feel special in all different ways. By being the same as others, you would feel like you are invisible to people and life won't be fun. If you had friends and you are all the same, it would be like you are talking to yourself because you are all saying the exact same things. Also if you want to play some friendly sports with your friends, it wouldn't be fun, You want to know why? When you are all the same, you would know what the other person would be thinking. But when everyone is different, everyone is unique and you wouldn't know what will happen. It would be better being different and also having fun instead of being the same to everyone and also lying around being bored.

Reason #3:From what I can see, being different means being special because when you are different you will be noticed for your attitude and for who you are. For example if you are all the same, will be noticed for who you are? I think that you won’t because when you are the same, people won’t notice you because they will get you mixed up with other people surrounding you. That is why I strongly believe that being different isn't such a bad thing. But being the same would be annoying because their will be no adventures to your life. Also if everyone had been eating unhealthy food in the the world, you would be in a bad place to leave in because everyone would be very lazy to exercise. So that means it would be very unhealthy to your body.

Restating Opinion:I strongly believe that being different is okay and it also makes you feel special. Being unique isn't a bad thing because you will noticed by all the things you do others especially being a role model to the little kids surrounding us.  

Thank You
I hope you liked my persuasive writing.

Persuasive Writing Plan-Oreo

Friday 26th August 2016
This week Room 10 has been doing persuasive writing as our writing topic for this term. Before I wrote my persuasive writing topic about Is it okay to be different, I had plan my topics first. For my planning, I used the OREO. The OREO stands for Opinion, Reason, Example, Opinion(Restated). Here is my planning for my persuasive writing.
Planning
O What is the topic? Is it okay to be different
What is your opinion? It is okay to be different
R Reason #1 Reason #2 Reason #3
It’s won’t be fun Same = Boring Being different means being unique
E Life would be boring if everyone was the same. You wouldn't be judged by who you are. When you are talking to your friends it would sound like you are talking to yourself. If you have friends, you and your friends will be saying the exact same thing. If everyone was the same, no one will notice you. If everyone was the same, no one will be unique in a good way.
O Summarise your argument by restating your opinion. strongly believe that being different is okay and it also makes you feel special. Being unique isn't a bad thing because you will noticed by all the things you do others especially being a role model to the little kids surrounding us.

Coping With Stress

Coping with stress.
Yesterday my group had to complete a task about how people cope with stress when they feel useless. Coping with stress can sometimes not make you feel the same. Also when you are stressed in a negative way, you will sometimes not be yourself and also when you try to sleep you sometimes won't be able to because you are to busy worrying for the next day. Here is how my group copes with stress when they feel very stressed out.

Poem - Fire safety

Poem

Here is my poem about fire safety.


Everyone should keep looking at what they are cooking,
All wires shouldn't be tangled before fire starts at the wrong angle,
Duck and crawl out the door,
Always make a plan before you try and get in the van,
Always check on wire before it starts a fire,
Always blow candles before you run outside in your sandals,
Listen carefully for fire alarms before you touch something with your arm,
Better smell that smoke before you start to choke,
Never keep anything that causes fire alone before your house would be blown.

Thank you for reading.

International Olympics - Doping


International Olympics


What is doping? 
Doping is when someone uses drugs to cheat in a race.
Drugs is a type of pills & liquid that will play your body. Your body will change and feel weird. If the IOC find out that the athletes have cheated then they will fail the test, even if you did not come a place.
How do athletes get caught cheating?
Athletes get caught by taking a test of their blood or their pee. If their pee or  blood turn green after they unfreeze it then that means that they used drugs to cheat.
What are the consequences of cheating at the olympics?
The consequences for the athletes who cheats are
  • Getting disqualified
  • Medals/Achievements stripped off
  • May or may not get banned


What do you think? What leads athletes of cheat?
My opinion is that I think that the athletes cheat because they want to break the world record and also they want to be known for having great ability. The reason why they want to be known is because they want the world to talk about how they are very talented at the sports they love doing.

I think that determination leads to cheating is not true because people like Usain Bolt, he always tries his best and comes first without doping or using drugs.Even like Valerie Adams, she always comes a place even if she doesn't cheat or use drugs.

Today for reading we have learned about how the olympic athletes are cheating.

Thank you for reading.

Reading Jigsaw: Challenges of Hosting the Olympics
Learning Focus
  • I am learning to analyse specific information that will help me identify key ideas in the text.
  • I can analyse and synthesize key ideas to develop my own opinion about these ideas.
Instructions:
  • Read this article - Everything is going wrong in Brazil Ahead of the Olympics
  • Describes the different types of issues Brazil is facing to host this year’s Olympics


My Home Group: Freaks
Political Impacts

(Jennifer)
The political crisis.
In Brazil there is a problems with the politics. The reason why? It all started in December where their was a corruption scandal that is was threatened to boil over. While that was happening the president Dilma Rousseff won the re-election for the second term in 2014. The corruption scandal aka the operation car wash was investigated for 2 years up to now. On the brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo, reports that Vice president Michel Temer was accused of attempted murder for the corruption scandal.
Police & Legacy Impacts

(Paris)
The police and legacy crisis.
In Brazil there is a major problem with the policemen.Over the years that went past , innocents have been killed and now the people find it hard to walk the streets.In 2014, 580 people have died and in 2015, 645 people have been killed and that is a overall of 1,225 people who have died.Brazil police rank the worlds most deadly.
Economic
Impacts

(Amelia)
The games themselves haven’t been immune to budget cuts, but as brazil faces further cuts in the immediate future, it’s becoming clear that the money it has spent on the games could have been better utilized.
Environmental Impacts

(Losana)

Every olympics naturally comes with environmental problems, and questions. When the Associated Press analyzed the bay water, they found that it was still disgusting. The IOC won’t let themselves test on the water.
Health
Impacts

(Petra)
The zika virus is a minor health problem in Brazil.Doctors believed that the zika virus wouldn't have much of an impact on the olympics but a lot of athletes are still thinking of not going because of the virus.Others have chosen to get quarantined instead. The government sent military and health professionals to cleanse Rio of mosquitoes, and promised that athletes and fans wouldn’t face much risk.
