1. Which applications do you think will be best to create a trailer? Why? I would use Adobe After affects and also iMovie. I would add some affects to pictures and then import it to iMovie.
2. Which applications do you think will be the least useful for creating a book trailer? Why? I think that the least useful application for creating a book trailer is quicktime player. I think that it is useless because it is only for recording.
3. Do you already feel confident about using the application? If not how much will you need to learn? I do not really feel confident enough, but I think I will be able to handle it by watching more tutorials.
4. Do you think it makes more sense to choose an application and then start designing, or to design your trailer first and then choose an application to make it? Explain.
I think that it makes more sense to choose and application first. I think by choosing an application first, it will be easy to make an design.
In humanities class we had a debate if child labour is necessary or not.
This was my speech.
What would you improve about your presentation?
If I had another chance to do this kind of presentation I would change my tone and pitch of voice during the presentation. I think that the things I had said during the presentation was persuasive, but because of my tone and pitch of my voice it did not sound persuasive that much as I had imagined. Also next time, I would like to improve the skills of my presentation skills. I think that my volume of my voice was good enough, but my voice was not clear enough, and my pace of my speech was too fast.
When you watch the video, do you think you were persuasive? Why were you able to persuade the audience (language, tone, evidence?)
I think that I had good evidence and language. As I said, I have to improve in my tone of my speech. I think that if I had better tone with the good evidences and language that I had I was able to reach a higher level of achievement. But, overall I think that my speech was persuasive enough. I think that I should of included more evidence about the weak points of child labour.
Please include a link to at least two of the primary sources you used to get your evidence. What do you think was the advantage of using primary sources? (sources written at the time of the Industrial Revoltion).
These were the 2 main link that I had used to make my speech persuasive. My 2nd link is not a primary source, but I was able to get a lot of information about the time then, because it had information from primary sources that the website used. I think the advantages of using primary sources were that, I was able to get thoughts and thinkings from the people that really lived during the industrial revolution.
In 2-3 sentences explain the argument for child labor in the Industrial Revolution.
Children are able to earn money. Also, children get education and food provided, which they can not without working in a factory.
In 2-3 sentences explain the argument against child labor in the Industrial Revolution
Children could get a high possibility of getting injured and losing there toes, and fingers. Also children have to work in bad conditions and work under harsh punishments.
Do you think England would have industrialized as quickly without child labor? Why or or why not?
I think the answer to this question would be no. I think like this because, without children working factory owners were not able to provide things at a low cost. If people were not able to buy things at a low cost the difference of rich and rural would just get wider and wider. And not only that, from more people getting rich, other businesses more active.
This is my picture of my collage
This is my Collage I made about a book called Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
I think that I had done well in explaining the storyline with pictures, and explaining it. For example, I think that everyone that looks at my collage, I think they would think why there is an Amazon building. But I think I was successful in explaining the connection of Amazon and the story. I think that my collage was able to show the genre really well, with the picture of the giant. Also I think I showed Percy, the protagonist’s characteristics well. But also, I think that I had concentrated on the story line too much. If I had another chance to do this project I think I will add more pictures and I would like to contrast my drawing with the picture.
1. Create your own definition of Internationalism (small paragraph).
Internationalism is a thing that two nations come together and collaborate. Also Internationalism makes nations, forget that they are different nations. I think that internationalism is a huge power. It can connect two nations, that are far apart in one moment.
2. Create your own definition of Sporting Spirit (small paragraph).
Sporting spirit is a spirit shown during sports. It is a spirit to respect the opponents, referee, and fans. It is a spirit that gentlemen have. Sporting spirit is something to be proud of as a person and as a person playing sport.
3. What role do you think sport plays in building internationalism and spirit (small paragraph)?
I think that sport connects nations by giving excitement. By sharing the same excitement that sport gives I think that it is able to connect nations. Also sport builds spirit by all of the people who play the sport is able to give respect to the other people who connect with the sport. I think that this is really a important role that sport plays. Also I think that excitement leads to sporting spirit, and the same thing from sporting spirit.
4. With internationalism and sporting spirit in mind , what are some more benefits of the world coming together through sport?
There are a lot of benefits of the world coming together and playing a sport. One of the benefits that the world playing together is that countries can get other ideas of tactics. By the world getting ideas from other countries the level of the sport will become higher and higher. For another example from the attractiveness of the sport a lot of people would come to watch. By a lot of people coming, the side who prepared for the sport would gain a lot of money. And also by a lot of people coming to one place, sponsors would think that it would be one of the best spots to advertise, and the side who prepared the event would gain more amounts of money. And lastly I think that the world comes together and play sports because, it would be one moment where the world comes together. I think this is really important because I think there needs to be some kind of moment that the world thinks or feels the same thing, excitement.
5. Describe an example (and show it if you like) that you have found of an international sporting event where internationalism / spirit was evident.
This video shows the fans doing a standing ovation to one player called Ballack. Ballack is playing for a team in Germany, his home country, called Bayer 04 Leverkusen. He used to play in a team in England called Chelsea. The 2 teams played in a match called the UEFA champions league. When Ballack was changing with another player, the fans of both teams did a standing ovation, and showed respect to Ballack. I think that this shows internationalism because even though Germany and England is at the same continent, I think that these 2 countries do not really respect each others favorite sport. I think that this shows how sport could connect 2 countries.
6. Do you think internationalism/spirit is the main reason why people watch sport? Why why not?
I think that sporting spirit is not the main reason why people watch sports. But also, I think that sporting spirit is one of the reasons why people watch sport. But I think that the main reasons why people watch sport is because people want excitement, and another reason why people watch sport is sport is more than something. I think that sport gives excitement, because sport is unpredictable. There is always something in your mind, “something might happen”. This feeling makes sport one of the best things to watch. Also I think that sport is something that it can not be explained. I think sport is something more than a game.
7. Millions of dollars are spent on international sporting events. Do you think it is wise for a country to spend this amount of money on sport? Why why not?
I think that it is wise that the countries spend money on sporting events. For example, the soccer FIFA world cup is prepared with a lot of money, but is really worth it. For example the last world cup held at South Africa made a huge influence to the country itself and the perspective toward soccer. Before the FIFA world cup South Africa was a dangerous country and also they weren’t so much into soccer. But after the FIFA world cup throughout the money the country got from tourism the economy, I think that it became safer for people to visit. Also by fans seeing the world cup, soccer is now more popular sport at South Africa.
8. Concluding paragraph:Why does the world play?
There a lot of reasons why the world plays. Throughout playing sports the level of the sport would be higher and higher and would become more and more entertaining. By a sport becoming a higher level new tactics would come out, and would make it watch sport fun at any generation. Also another reason why the world plays sport is because a lot of money will be put into sporting events. But I think the main reason that people play sport is because it is fun.
9. Complete the A, C and D reflections (Give yourself a level plus one or two sentences explaining why)
Criterion A
I would give my self a 7. I think that I understand Internationalism and sporting spirit well.
Criterion D
I would give my self a 7 again. I think that I have a great attitude, but I sometimes get selfish when playing.
Criterion C
I think I would give myself a 9. I think my handball and my kicking skills at are a good level, but my moving skills are not good as much. I think I sometimes get lazy.
Which piece of advice do think is the best or most effective?
I think that the most effective piece of writing in this website is, the first one, “Get to the root”. I think that this is the most effective piece for me because I think that I can not ignore this piece of writing because it has something to do with me. When there is a problem that does not work well for me some how I make it other people’s fault and look away. I think that I have to work on taking responsibility and become a better as a person.
If you could follow it consistently, which piece of advice do you think would create the biggest positive change in your life?
I think that advice that would change my life is the advice of taking responsibility. As it said on the website I think that when I am looking down and in some kind of a slump I think that if I take responsibility it would be easier for me to get out of my bad mood.
This was the website that I looked at: http://tinybuddha.com/blog/10-ways-to-let-go-and-overcome-a-bad-mood/
