Rich VS Poor II Hunger Games II English II Film Study

(Takes you to the Rich VS Poor Coggle)
Rich VS Poor

In English for term 3 were doing Film study, and the movie were studying is the hunger games as shown by recent posts.
For this Posts, I had to do a mind map on a specific theme within the movie. For this, I picked Rich VS Poor and the difference between District 12 and the Capitol. Varying from Costumes, Technology, and the Capitol and District 12 it's self and how they look and work and how the people live.

Hunger Games II Pt3

Gathering details from the movie: Hunger Games

Theme - Struggle for power and the power of propaganda in the Hunger GamesPropaganda - to control a large number of people.
The video shown at the reaping is a video of propaganda (Propaganda)
The power of propaganda is used to keep the rich vs poor vibe maintained (Propaganda)
Katniss had made a choice to stand up for her younger sister (Hope)
The film itself is propaganda (Propaganda)

Quotes - May the odds be forever in your favour. (How can the odds be in the districts favour when they don't get half of what the Capitol gets and are not physically or mentally ready for the hunger games and don't know what to do and what not to do)
Hope is very powerful.
Something that knits us all together.

Hope and Rebellion
When Katniss and Petta choose to eat the berries at the end of the game because they don't want to play the game and kill one another.
Quote from Snow - Hope is very powerful

Opening Scene
Gives us an idea about the hunger games and how it works.
Gives us a small history of the hunger games.
Quote - Something that knits us all together (That the hunger games creates a small and odd Community)

Opening Cards - There are three terms - Tribute, Reaping, GamesTribute - (Tribute in hunger games means something along the lines of people participating in something) another propaganda as the people in the film are people who are just sent unwillingly to their death
Reaping - Where 1 girl and boy are selected from each district to partake in the hunger games,
Games - Puts the hunger games into the games category. (It's a game no one really wants to play through if it means fighting to the death.)

Details - When Katniss goes to blow up the other teams food, you can hear Cesar talking but instead of seeing him you're seeing Katniss while overhearing Ceasers comments of if Katniss will figure out the booby trap.

PE Reflection II PE

For the last 2 weeks, we've been doing volleyball and learning all its actions and how to play it.
This week we've been doing a few rounds of volleyball in teams. starting off with a practice and then getting into a game. I feel that I'm getting better at my serving but could improve in my arm power in hitting the ball and learn to put more force when hitting the ball when it comes from above me.

I am in the function green section (Self-Direction)
Because I have been on task
I always have my PE uniform and always have the equipment I may need
I did my best to talk with my teammates even if I didn't get along with some of them and cheered them on for doing their best.

Hunger Games II Film Study II Pt2

Gathering details from the movie: Hunger Games Pt2

Compare the reaping scene and the television show
The reaping was silent and gave off a sad and scared vibe of people who were unwilling.
The Interview at the capitol was loud and full of happy people shouting and cheering.
The only sound you could hear from both scenes (Apart from the video from the capitol in the reaping) were the sounds of people yelling, talking, moving, and cheering.
Everything is brighter at the interview with Katniss than at the reaping.
Katniss seems less nervous and more willing to talk.
The capitols people clothes match their eyelashes, hair and clothes.
Their technology is advanced with three-way screens.
Each Districts outfits are made based on their district in some way.
When peter takes Katniss's hand and lifts their hands up it makes the crowd cheer louder, the man who interviews them says something along the lines of "Their proud to be in district 12!" To the capitol when Katniss and Peter held up to their hands together to gave a sign to the capitol that seemed that they were proud to be playing the hunger games.

What does the three-finger symbol at the reaping represent
The three-finger salute is a symbol within the hunger games
The three-finger salute is a way to give the reaping people hope and that they believe in them
The three-finger salute was used in Thailand
The three-finger salute is also used in America but is named the black lives matter salute and gives a fist instead of three fingers and says that there should be racial equality. (This is used because people aren't happy how things in America are going.)

Rue's DeathThe music is slow and sad to represent and portray the current sense and vibe of Rue's death.

A lot of close up shots on Katniss and Rue.
A point of view shot from rue before she dies.
Everything becomes non-diegetic where only music is heard later on from when Katniss goes to grab Rue flowers for her death bed.
The three-finger salute is down by rue's district to honour her death.
District 11 goes into a riot after Rue's death
During the riot, camera work was shaky and hardly still but some things are still seeable and you are able to tell whats going on.
A lot of yelling and people raging is heard throughout the riot and a tad bit of music to make the scene more dramatic and also to make the scene more interesting
During the riot, there is a montage throughout district 11
During the riot, it starts in the morning and goes to nighttime showing that a lot of time has passed.

Katniss and Peeta
through the near end of the hunger games, it is stated that if two people from the same district live they will automatically win. However, had changed back to only one person winning when only Peeta and Katniss was alive. Because of this

For Katniss performance, there are a lot of close-ups and few over shoulders
As well as a few medium shots
one of the mid shots are between Katniss and the target when Katniss goes to shoot the target
Camera movement is fast when Katniss goes to grab the bow to shoot the apple stuck in the bigs mouth
There's a high angle showering down on katniss before she goes for the apple in the pig showing Katniss as someone inferior to the people in the capitol who are viewing her.

Money Matter II Math

Over the past weeks in math, we've been learning about money in maths and how it works.
One of the things we learned was about discounting in money.
I at first didn't understand this but later on found that it was really simply an example of this is A Bicycle costs $2.500. If the shopkeeper gives a 15% discount, how much is the discount. Calculate the new price.

To do this we need to go

15 x 2500
this will equal 37500 (Just minus the two 00's to get 375)
Next you'll want to find the final answer to the question to do this you'll do
2500 - 375 which will give you your final answer of $2.125

Making your new price $2.125

Why do we need to learn this?We need to learn something like this becuase it's something useful that could help us with out discounting in the furture if needed. this will also help if your buying a car that 30% off. you'll know how much money you'll need and won't go over the trouble of getting more money than you probably need

Where would we use this?Like before discounting can be used on many things. like if a PS4 is 10% off you could use discounting to find out it's final price to find out how much money you would need.

It's as simple as that and it's really helpful too so your not going to much over the acutal amount of money you need. and your missing the sale becuase your stacking up on money cause you didn't know how much money you really needed becuase of the discount.

Reflection II PE

For the last couple of weeks in PE, we've been working on Teamwork in sport.
And what it is to us.
I feel I did okay but could do a bit better.
I did indeed play and participate but I feel there wasn't enough communication between our teams, and I feel there could of been a bit more.

PE was good though. This week we're doing volleyball so I'm excited about that and can't wait to try it out.

Cellphone Addiction II Social Studies

Are Students addicted to their cellphones?
If so, is that a problem?

---
Key Idea
That some teenagers/Children are more addicted to their phones than they should be.

What must you achieve In this paragraph, I am trying to show/prove/explain that...
Some students are more addicted to their phones than they should be. and that its self is dangerous with consequences if ignored.

Information
Key information you need to include

1) What you post
2) People you meet

3) Aftereffects

Delivery
Best paragraph structure to convey all this is.

Over the years our phones have advanced to flip phones to touch screens and because of the touch screen phones teenagers are spending more and more time on their phone on social media instead of getting out and doing something with friends.

Why it matters(Evidence)
Because even though the phone may seem harmless there are many dangers that lie within the apps that you use on the phone, such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Tiktok. There are reasons I listed these. The reasons are that you are likely to post photos and videos of yourself on them and it's also likely you haven't protected your privacy on them meaning anyone can see what you post and some people on the internet can be really dangerous.

This also consists of the people you meet online, Because we don't have a rule on profile pictures where you can only use your face and not pictures on the internet. There's a high chance that the person you're talking to is not who they say they are. And once they've gained your trust they may ask you personal things or you may give them a password to something which isn't a smart move at all.

And of course, each of these things will have big impacts on your life that you may not like at all. Some of these things may happen at school, you might become an outcast or you'll get blackmailed by the people that have seen that Video/Picture it's also likely that bullying will also come into the picture.
In other cases, it might also involve the police if the person you've been talking to is blackmailing you and threatening you, and none of these is okay.

Sum Up
So even though phones help us a lot sometimes, they are also dangerous if we don't stop and think about what we're doing or who we're talking to.

Technology Advancement II Social Studies

State your point
Over the decades our technology has changed to the point where information moves quickly
around the world.

Why it matter
Because the person you may be sending the note to may be overseas and far away from you,
which isn’t good if the note is important, and if it’s important then it’s likely that what
you're trying to stop them from doing has already been done, or if you're sending them
a letter for a meeting it’s likely the meeting has already passed.

Evidence
We no longer need to send long-awaited envelopes oversea to reach its destination when nowadays
all we need to do is open up Gmail write something in and press send and it’s automatically
sent to the rightful person, another function is that you can also send pictures and videos from
youtube to them. There are also apps such as Skype where you can video call the people
close to you so you're always up to date on what they're doing.

Sum up
Our technology advancements have allowed us amazing things and they also help us keep up
to date on things so we're not missing out on important events or missing out on the monthly
video chat with your parents.
