Different Aspects of Sustainability

Today we have been talking about different types of sustainability. We have been learning about the definition of each of this topic. This work is showing the definition of each topic and the table below is showing the meaning of Equitable, Viable and bearable definition.

                                                   Three Aspects of sustainability

• Environmental Sustainability - This is all about using and having the living and natural resources in a right way. It means that we don’t want to have more resources than can be renewed.

• Social Sustainability - Having the things or resources that we are using right now are still able to be used in the future. Giving the next generation the chance to have the resources that we have now.

• Economics Sustainability - Using the resources with the rate that ensures the future generation so they can also use these resources.

• Sustainable Development - This means having the resources that meet the needs of the present without making the future generations know their own needs.

               

Definition	Meaning
Equitable	Resources are shared and provided equally between social groups.
Bearable	The environment must be used in a way that provides the ongoing economic needs.
Viable	Society’s use of the environment must not be destructive.

Today we have been learning about different things that are covered by environmental sustainability. We have been learning about different definition. Environmental Sustainability is all about different things in environment. Some of these things are nature and tree, and more about environment.

This task is showing the different things that are connected in environmental sustainability. This is also will help us to have an idea for our statistics project with this topic. I also highlighted them base of their definition key. The red is getting worse, orange is about the same and the green is getting better. 

We have been doing some research about the topic that we choose for our sustainability subject. We are doing this as a group, we are doing this for almost 2 weeks and today is the last day that we are doing this because we are almost finished the term 3. After we've done our work we can have a free time. This presentation is showing some information about our topic which is " Fish Waste".

                          

                                         Sustainopoly

For the last few weeks of our school days, for our sustainability topic is all about making a project about this topic. So basically, we will spend the rest of our lessons working on this project. Our project is covering the whole topic of sustainability, we are doing our project as a different version of Monopoly. We decided to a game so we can let the other students to play with our game. Our project has a same rules and instruction with a monopoly. The only difference is the information with it is connected to the sustainability. We just copy the designs from the original game and just change the information form each of them. Our own version of monopoly is called "Sustainopoly". Also for our figurine icons we have different things that is all about sustainopoly. 

• Water droplet
• Tree
• Paw
• Heart

We also have a different color for our cards, some of these cards is related to each topic that is on them. In the card you will see the amount of points that you can get every time that you are doing the activity on the card. The maximum players for our game is 4  people. We also have some unsustainable cards. In this card you will see that unsustainable activities and the amount of points that we will loose. In this game the person who have the highest points is the winner. I hope you will enjoy playing our game.

What Am I Learning? 

We have been learning about different actions that you can see on the film. This things are the most common techniques that most of the actors need to have so they can fit on the characters personalities and look. 

How does this work show my learning?

I made this so i can show the meaning of this things and what is the purpose of it.

What am i wondering as a result of this learning? 

I'm wondering what is the most techniques that is common to us.

Language of Film Techniques

Yesterday we have been learning about different types and shots of a photo. We have two different choices to show our learning. We can create a visual dictionary or take a photo showing the different techniques and shots. To show my learning I choose to present it by taking a photo for each different shots. I did this with my two other friends so we just need to use one phone. For this task we need to divide the different techniques into 3 categories. My blog is showing the photo that we had taken and the meaning/example of each different shots.

What am I learning? We have been learning about different camera angles and techniques that are using in the film.

 How does this work show my learning? My work shows that I know the definition of it and the examples of different camera shots and angles.

What Am I wondering as a result of this learning? I am wondering what kind camera angle/shots/movements are common?

Critical Reflection

 For this rotation we have learning about algebra, we are talking about different types of algebra. The 2-3 weeks of our rotation we have been doing some work on Mathletics into different level of algebra. Also we have been doing some geometry. We have been solving different problems online. We use Euclidia solve and to learn different angles and how to solve the problems.

We also talk about the rotation, reflections of an angle. We spend at least 3 weeks working on it and we did some activities around this topic. We did some group works and we solved a problem together. We have a chance to use a workbook for our learning, it is not that major because we just used it to copy the different shapes. 

For our last week on this rotation we have a project about the things that we have learn about for this rotation. We are doing this as a group and our topic is " Graphing" we choose this topic because it is easy and we are able to finish it quickly. We also made a formula to our topic. 

Our project:

This is the project that we made. Since we did it on my book I apologized if you can't see it clearly. Our project is showing a square using the dots in graphing. We have been working on our project for at least 4 lessons. We came up with this formula because our graphing is showing a square and since square have a equal sides we have to multiply it by one so we can have the same number.

Our Formula:

P = n x 1

Reflection:

For this rotation I really enjoyed this because before I was really confused about algebra and geometry. Also making the project help me more to able t understand it. We found it really hard to made the formula so we think that we did it wrong. But since were not sure we just try it because that's the only formula that we can think of. But I really like ti and I am looking forward to do it again.

Wananga

 Today did a activity that trying to test our trust to each other other. We have to get into pairs so we can do this successfully, me and my friend decided to be in a partner. For this challenge we decided in our pair who is the person A and person B, but it doesn't really matter because we are both doing something.This challenge is really interesting because we have different instruction that we need to do, we also don't know our partner's instruction. We just have to trust them and complete the challenge. 

I am the person A and my instruction is I will not let my partner to open my fist until she ask me to open it politely and with assertiveness. It didn't take longer that I expected because she figure out what does she need to do. Also I don't have any doubt about her because we have been friends for quite a long time now, so I trust her. Trusting your partner is the important thing that you need to do for this challenge.

I know that all of us have made an argument with someone, it can be our family our friends. In our pair we also shared the moments that we did somethings in aggressive way but after we are gonna think that we should have been more assertive that aggressive. The experience that I told to my partner is every time that my sister asking a favor to me, and instead of following her I getting annoyed and sometimes being aggressive towards her. 

As a class we also talked about the things that we can do when someone is being aggressive towards us or someone says somethings that make us upset. Smiling, Ignoring, and take a deep breaths are just some of those things that we can do in this situation. It is important that we know how to manage this kind of things. 

Photomontage

Last week we started our first topic for this semester. We are learning about photo montage. Our teacher gave us some images that we can use to make our own photo montage. Photo montage is a type of photography that you can do by putting the different images together. This is the first time that I did this and I am really happy because I get a chance to try this kind of things.
