My Strategy

Trevor has to drive 422 km’s. He looks at his odometer and sees he has gone 289 kms. How much further has he got to go?

Answer: 133.

Strategy: Add 1 onto 289 = 290 … 290 + 10 = 300 … 300 + 100 = 400 … 400 + 22 = 422.

1 + 10 + 100 + 22 = 133

Narrative Practise

“.. The Planes ..”

   I felt a little bump as I was eating my lunch. “Please put your seat belts on for a few minutes” the captain announced. “Far, lunch was yummy!” I told my mother. As I turned to the side I noticed everybody looking out their windows, I wondered what was happening? “Ahhhhh, The wing is down, the wing is down!” someone screamed. “We’re going down, we’re going down” our captain announced. Everyone was screaming. BOOM!

   Radiation from the crash stuffed up my mind. I still tried to call for my mother. “Mum are you there?” I whispered. “Mummy, mummy.” I was crying. As I looked up there were sparks of fire.

I looked around and saw many exotic plants. I didn’t know where I was. Crawling around bodies everywhere I tried to find out what had happened “Raenan, Raenan call if you can hear me.” My dad was calling. “Dad I’m here. Where are you?” I replied. I crawled towards my dads voice.

My Game

   ^.~ Tetris started in 1984, June 6th.  Tetris is a world class game.  I started to play Tetris when I was about 7 years of age.  Now and then I play Tetris and it’s always interesting. I like to play Tetris because you use blocks to build something and then once you make a line of blocks, the line disappears.  Sometimes I rage when playing Tetris because I can never destroy the blocks and it makes me angry! -,-

Dream Jobs

PoliceMan: I want to be a Police man when I get older because I want to be a person that helps in the community.

Pilot: Being a Pilot is a cool job to have as you would be traveling all over the world.

Sports Player: When I’m an adult I would like to play in the NBA or be a NRL player.

Flight Attendant: Being a flight attendant would be pretty cool because you get to travel all around the world for free. But while doing so you will be working.

Carpenter/Builder: Being a builder would be pretty cool when I get older because it is a physical job, and you make a lot of money. Well that’s what I’ve been told.

My Research

    Mark “Chopper” Read

Before    

After    

Career criminal Mark Chopper Read has confessed murdering four people, including missing Queensland bikie boss Sidney Michael Collins, in the last interview before his own death.

His first kill, he claimed, was as a teenager.

Read made the admissions in the tell-all session screened on Sunday night by 60 minutes but recorded 16 days before he died, aged 58, following a battle with liver cancer.

He claimed responsibility for two cold case murders, those of Collins in 2002 and union heavy Desmond Costello in 1971.

Outlaws Motorcycle Club boss Collins, who has been missing since 2002, was previously shot by Chopper in the stomach.

He said he later killed him when they caught up after one of his life-after-crime stage shows in Casino in northern NSW, and buried him near a football oval.

Chopper said his first murder at age 17 involved shooting Costello outside a Collingwood pub.

He recalled dragging the body of the Melbourne painter and docker with the help of an accomplice to the hotel's keg cellar. Police, though, never uncovered his involvement.

The notorious standover man also disclosed that he got away with killing paedophile and murderer Reginald Isaacs in Pentridge Jail in 1974, with authorities believing Isaacs committed suicide.

Chopper claimed he beat the man repeatedly before hanging him in his cell with his bed sheets.

Read said his third killing was that of Siam Ozerkam, aka "Sammy the Turk", in 1987 outside the Bowjangles nightclub in St Kilda, Melbourne.

He said he told police it was a case of self-defence, and was acquitted, with a jury finding him not-guilty.

Read, who spent 23 years behind bars, previously boasted killing over a dozen people but was never found guilty of murder.

Despite the trail of death, Read told presenter Tara Brown he felt no remorse.

Mark “Chopper” Read was a man which died because of liver cancer. Before his death, he admitted to killing four people.

These are his victims….. Desmond Costello, Slam Ozerkam, Sidney Michael Collins and Reginald Edward Isaacs. He died at the age of 58.

D.L.O Reflection

World War 2 K,R,D from Team 5 PES on Vimeo.

Reflection:

Our movie was based on how World War 2 started and ended. Our purpose was to inform our audience about how Hitler framed Poland and also how U.S.A ended the war. I think that we achieved our goal for the week with the extended time given too. In our D.L.O we were trying to show that world war 2 was a massacre to the people that were involved. A lot of people didn’t return to their country because they were either killed or lost, missing in action. What I learnt from this event was that a lot of people were trying to fight for their own countries so people could have better places to live, without war.

P:

(Positive)

A positive thing about our D.L.O was the finished product that we made. Another positive thing was our voice over because it clearly explained how World War 2 started and ended. I liked our sound track in the background because it was related to our movie about World War 2 as it talked about feeling and pain. We worked well together to finish our movie. We created good animations to go with it.

M:

(Minus/things to work on)

Something that was a minus for our group was that we didn’t finish our D.L.O in the time frame given. During the week that we had, Darius, Kingston and I were in the production and we had practises during our literacy time which meant we didn’t have much time to work on it. But luckily we got another chance to finish it off and to perfect it. We managed to finish our D.L.O during the extended time given.

Next time I reckon we should add more  acting in our movie.

I:

(Interesting)

One of the interesting things for me were the facts that we found out because I learnt how world war 2 started and ended. Working with Darius and Kingston was pretty fun, as we would have little arguments about who was doing what. Especially Darius! He would always complain to Kingston and I about our animations. But overall I think working with Darius and Kingston was a good idea because we were on task and created a good product.
