100Wc T4 W1

For this weeks 100WC, we had to make up a short story with the prompt “ it was heavier than I expected”.

I decided to make it about my issue gender inequality!

“Taking the risk of doing something you love requires passion and determination, to take a risk I knew that it would be tough with the amount of weight that I was carrying on my shoulders. I would be one of those females to be doing a job for the first time.

Here comes the pressure, but I had to try. I had to try and accomplish what men have done, and if I don’t complete my task it will a challenge for other women to get out there.

It’s hard though to be one of the first women to put yourself out there.

The pressure was heavier than I expected.”

Week 10 exhibition reflection post

At the moment, in the exhibition, this is our last week to finish, our making conclusions stage. I have finished my poems, my graph, my information reports and my media arts video. I have finished all of the due tasks for the exhibition. With my information report, I have used up two boxes to put information in, one box for an image and one box for my references. All my information reports are hand drawn. I have listened to the feedback about my media arts video and have finalised and finished that. With my graph I have represented the pay gap between men ad women. With my poems I have basically written a poem and a short story.
I love my topic so much, it’s really interesting. I’m so excited for exhibition!

100WC T3 W10

For the exhibition, my topic is gender inequality. For this weeks 100WC, we had to use the five words bicycle, yellow, desperate, warned and greedily in a story with 100 words about our topic. My story gives awareness about gender inequality and how it affects women in creative way….

I stare out my bedroom window, gloomily looking ahead. I sigh heavily with boredom. I feel locked up, with no freedom. I am desperate to get a job, to fulfil my dream. I see a man ride his yellow bicycle past my house, as I stupidly yell “Hey, do you know where I can get a job?”. The man stares at me angrily. He then warned me about how women didn’t receive jobs. He greedily rode away. I sprinted in the house, as night fell. Darkness, black,, trapped inside, struggling to breathe as I lose confidence. Wet tears escape my eyes, as my body burns with anger!

In exhibition, we have finished the sorting out and going further stage, I’m now onto making conclusions. Next term is the exhibition, and we are going start the taking action stage. I recently got handed a schedule, to keep track of the items I am going to be displaying in the exhibition. On the schedule, I have to finish poetry (my poem about my topic), my information reports ( an information report is key parts of the information about your three lines of inquiry), my graph (my graph represents the pay gap between men and women), my gender inequality video from media arts, my dance with Lauren and Ria for P.E, my poster in art, my presentation and composition in music, research folder (note taking) and communication (listening and talking). These are the things listed on my schedule that I have to complete for the exhibition. I have almost finished the P.E dance and I am up to my second information report, so my key information about my second line of inquiry, an inquiry into the reason behind gender inequality. I am a bit nervous about getting everything done, so I might do a little more homework at home. For me, the exhibition has been fun but as required a lot of work!

(I also apologise for not doing my weekly reflection last week)

Birthday graph

In maths, we are collecting data, and in this case we were collecting data on birthdays in our class. Some feedback I received about my first graph was that I should make the graph bigger. First I decided to try out different types of graphs to collect data. I tried a pie graph, and needed a little help with working out the percentages of my data. I got the feedback to mix the results to together and make the graph big. So I listened to the feedback and I continued to extend myself and with all the feedback I was able to finalise my last graph.

Exhibition reflection Week 7

Sorting out and going further is almost over and getting to this point has been a lot of fun but has required a lot of finding out first. I have now researched about all my lines of inquiry and have sorted my information out.

Also, I wrote a letter to gender inequality specialist Clementine Ford. Lauren and I have written a letter to her about our questions and thoughts about our topic, gender inequality.

I talked to Mrs Ponting this week about gender inequality, which gave me lots of information. I found a lots of good websites and videos because I realised I needed to have a little more information for line of inquiry 3, now I think I have got more information for line of inquiry than anything else. I so far am very proud of what I have achieved. I know a lot about gender inequality, thanks to some amazing sources that have given me lots of information. Last mentor meeting, my mentor, told us about a women called Margaret who has experience with gender inequality, I am going to write an email to her.

We recently had our mentor meeting for this week and my group and I shared where we are up to in the exhibition. I would love to catch up with our school’s principal and deputy principal and talk about gender inequality. Me and my group have made real progress with our P.E dance, since we have almost finished our dance. My media arts video is going well. I have captured all my images and I am ready for the next stage in my video. I would like to thank Lauren and Ria for being great team members, and always sharing their ideas. I’d like to thank all my primary sources, for their time and knowledge. I’d also like to finally thank my teacher and my mentor.

100WC T3W8

Two men ran in the airport, to afraid to be late for their flight to France. As the airport announced, flight F023, at gate 11 to France, the men ran faster. As the passengers boarded the plane, the men sprinted. As the plane started it’s engine, the men arrived. The two men fainted overwhelmed.

They started dreaming about what France would be like……… They became waiters at Le Chapon Fin, they served baguettes and croissant as delicious cakes followed after, yum! They were wearing posh, smart French clothes and holding two white napkins walking poshly through the hallways of the restaurant.

Exhibition reflection

In the exhibition, we have finished the tuning in stage. I have picked my trans theme, it is “ Who we are”. I have completed my central idea, which is our differences deserve respect and acceptance. I have completed my three lines of inquiry and have finalised my key questions to do that. Here are my lines of inquiry:

1) An inquiry into gender inequality. I chose this line of inquiry because I can find out all about gender inequality, including pay gaps in jobs.

2) An inquiry into the reason behind gender inequality. This is a really important statement to me because if I can identify the reason behind gender inequality I can hopefully raise awareness about getting gender inequality to stop.

3) An inquiry into the action that is being done to improve gender inequality. I hope to tell and show people that we can improve gender inequality.

In the process of doing this, we had to write our key questions on a lotus diagram, to form our lines of inquiry. We had to create a central idea depending on our topic which was hard because I was at a lesson when the central idea was created. We had to pick a trans theme that suited our topic as well as having the trans theme “ How we express ourselves”. The tuning in stage was hard but fun!
