Year 10 Home Ec l Practical week 3: Jam Drops

Teamwork aspects:
In my team, our skills are working as a team and there's always someone who has a job and our improvements have been working together well and our cooking is getting a little bit better.
Although we don't really manage our time well enough because our group is normally the last to finish cooking.

Product/outcome:
With our food, I think the jam drops tasted quite nice even if they weren't cooked to perfection, the taste was good, the texture wasn't too great and the colour was normal I suppose.
Some improvements which could have been made is working faster and listening to instructions a bit more carefully.

Next steps for own learning: Focus, work faster, listen carefully and make sure the food comes out great.
 
Oh and if you don't know what Jam Drops are then here is what they look like (if you couldn't tell already, this is a google image)

Year 10 Drama l That Time. That Place. (synopsis)

So far, we have been working on the play called "That Time. That Place." By Ken Mizusawa and I play as "Boy", yes, that is literally my name and he is a teenage boy who disappeared during high school. Here's the synopsis:

"The unexpected disappearance of a boy during high school continues to preoccupy Mel, a young woman who refuses to live in the present and put the past behind her. Unable to move on, she decides to investigate the case in order to inscribe meaning into what has happened, only to find herself descending ever further into the realm of memory and half-remembered moments."

Year 10 English l Debate Essay

So... I haven't exactly finished my essay yet due to running out of time but here is what I've got so far

Debate Essay topic: Crimes against animals should be
punished as equally as crimes against humans

Essay:

Should crimes against animals really be punished as equally as crimes against humans?

I think this should be a law but I will go into further detail later, here are 3 points I will be talking
about:

1. Humans and animals are both animals
2. What kinds of crimes are there to deal with
3. 
   

I’m going to start by saying that technically both humans and animals are animals, well it really
depends on your perspective on whether humans are animals or not (this could just be a debate
on it’s own) but we are our own type of animal, and I think it would be fair if crimes against
animals should be punished as equally as crimes against humans.

It seems unfair that crimes against animals remain unpunished so we should make it that if you
were to majorly harm your pet or someone else’s pet then you should be charged or put in jail or
if you were to lock your pet in a cage or your house and not let them out for a long time
(Using a dog as an example for this one) then that should give you jail-time or something along
those lines.

The last example is not giving your pet their food or giving them water and there are many other

reasons to get punished for doing something to your pet.

Year 10 Social Studies l Careers work

So all students were given a sheet and it would say what job you were given (all students had different random jobs) but they weren't real jobs, just jobs that you were given just to study what it's about and what skills you will need for it and I got food scientist.
Here is some of the description: "You work for a niche ice cream company researching and developing new products, and improving existing ones."
The annual salary for this job is $68,000 and the gross monthly income is $5,667, the hours per week given is 40 hours and the annual leave is 5 weeks so this isn't that bad of a job in my opinion.

Year 10 Social Studies l Aboriginal Boomerangs

So today, most of our class have finished making our boomerangs that we designed similar to the Aboriginal boomerangs (most of us anyway), we decided to test these boomerangs out by throwing them out in the field, some went far and some didn't get very far at all (mine didn't get far).
Here is an image of what my boomerang looks like but it's a bit wet because it had been raining on the field:

The story behind it (which I'm making up right now) is that the sun is supposed to be going around lighting up all the planets, something like that, the end.

Let me know your thoughts on my Boomerang, telling me if I had designed it well or not, give some of your honest opinions and thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

Year 10 Drama l Term 3 update

So today, we are about to start our painting that is based on the painting in the play called "That Time. That Place. By Ken Mizusawa" and we are actually practising to perform for this play in Drama at some point this term, I may possibly add images of the painting once it is finished but this was a quick update type of blog on what I am doing in Drama.

Tune in next time to find out what happens next on my blog.

Year 10 English l Another World - Diversity (Term 3 edition)

Diversity, to me this word means (might be wrong about this) different groups of people with different problems like being deaf or being blind, I think this is important because you will want to know how to deal with this sort of situation being with a deaf or blind person, this is the only thing that I possibly already know with diversity this year because I can't think of anything else and I didn't really know what diversity was before this year.
We have studied things like the book called Children of Blood and Bone and it's about different groups of people like the Maji and the other group who don't have any type of magic and they want different things or like in A silent voice where there was a deaf girl and everyone was getting bullied by other kids because she was different and the other kids found her strange.
