Budgeting Prezzi

https://prezi.com/view/4uzyXkCMJLfNE99EhlN4/
This is the link to my Prezi presentation.

In Business studies, we have been learning about budgeting. Our learning outcome was to identify their needs, wants, and personal values. I made a Prezi about the stages of budgeting. 

Reflection:
I did well I could have done more by myself but I did well. I could have listened more in class though.

Digital Technology

This and last term in DTE we have been researching and planning on making our Venduino powered mini vending machine. For the wood cutout, we are going to be using a Laser Cutter. But we have been struggling with transferring the Files we need to the laser cutter programs so we looked up a picture on the internet but then we had to remove the watermark. We are still yet to cut the wood and haven't even started the Venduino program. This is our Planning, Files, and logbook.


Project Title:

Arduino Vending Machine

Personal Reflection:
I think I did alright but I definitely could have done better. I could've done better when it comes to getting into it faster each lesson because sometimes I just sat there and wasted time.

Children of Blood & Bone Introduction Practise

 LO: Our learning outcome was to learn to write introductions.

BRIEF SUMMARY  (includes Title and Author)

The novel Children of Blood & Bone by Tomi Adeyemi is about a teenage girl The book, Adeyemi's debut novel and the first book in a planned trilogy follows heroine Zélie Adebola as she attempts to restore magic to the kingdom of Orïsha, following the ruling class kosidáns' brutal suppression of the class of magic practitioners Zélie belongs to, the maji.

THESIS  (includes Keywords from the question and Outline of Ideas)

In the text, the relationship between Amari and Inan helped me to understand the character of Amari.

This is because it showed me that she is kind (she reaches out with love instead of anger), she is also forgiving (she forgives her brother), and she believes in her brother.

Children of B&B Essay Practice -- Writing SEXXYY Paragraphs

 


LO: In English, we are learning to write SEXXY paragraphs.



Statement

Example/Evidence (include a quote)

EXplain quote

EXplain Effect on the Reader

Your link -- to another part of the text

Your link -- to the wider world

The incident of Saran cutting the word maggot into Zelie’s back helped me to understand the important idea of Prejudice because it showed me how far he would go to torture.

We see this in the text when  Saran says’s “I admire your defiance, child. It’s impressive you’ve made it this far. But I wouldn’t be doing my job as king if I didn’t remind you what you are.”

This means that King Saran is abusing his power as King to torture Zelie because she is different than him. 

This made the reader feel Zelie because she is on the other end of a King abusing his powers.

It reminded me of another important part in the book when Saran killed Amari’s maid Binta because this also shows the idea of Prejudice.

In the real world, this idea is important because you shouldn’t treat someone differently because they are different than you.

Another way the incident of Saran cutting the word maggot helped me to understand the important idea from the other perspective because it shows us how vulnerable and helpless Zelie’s is when Saran is abusing his powers.

We see this in the text when 

This means that…

This made the reader feel________ because _________.

It reminded me of another important part in the book when __________, because this also shows the idea of __________.

In the real world, this idea is important because ___________.
