Preposition Game.

I would like to do a sort of Jeopardy style game.
The class would be divided into 4-5 teams. And there would be 3 catagories Time prepositions,Place prepositions and Direction preposition sition Each catagory would have 5 levels for points 100, 300, 500, 700, and 1000. With the role of a dice we decide which team picks first. The first team to write the answer and raise there hands get to answer. If they get it right they get to pick the next catagory and for how many points. However, if they get it wrong any other team can answer and the team that got it wrong you take away the amount of points the question was worth. The team at the end with the most points wins.

What is Style?

I think that a style in writing is the way you write. Your word choice, the way you express yourself with writing and how you do so. Also it is sort of the theme you use, wether your writing happily (happy topic) or sadly (sad topic). How you want your reader to feel really defines your style if you want to make him feel sad you might choose a sad topic to write about, with complex words and good descriptions/detail. You might want to make the reader imagine and feel the pain that something or someone is going through (make them feel like they are a part of the story). This is my opinion on what style is!

Notes on video watched in class (Wild Horses)

Techniques that I saw used in the video were:
Music- Dramatic/sad to make me feel sorry for the horses
Experts/Famous People- They had a famous artist and Sheryl Crowe (cool people) who care about the cause and make you want to care about it also.
Pictures/Video- The video showed how the horses are slaughtered and killed brutally make you mad, and don't show what they do to people's farms.
Why you should care- They show the wild horses like a part of American heritage or culture hence, by killing them you are killing american history.
Statistics/facts- In the last 100 years horses had gone from 2,000,000 to 30,000
This video does a great job making you want to stop the killing of these wild horses, they really made me feel a sad about them and mad at the farmers for killing them.

What makes something persuasive

There are many different strategies or tactics to making something persuasive. Depending on the topic or thing you want to persuade the reader/people about you may use different things. For example if you want a reader/spectator to feel sad about something, you might use sad pictures, videos or other "moving things". Voice is also a very important element, if you want people to pay close attention you may take softly and slowly, or if you are excited you might speak rapidly and exaggerating words or phrases. Also the colors of  what your presenting you might want to make something to draw attention or stand out by using bright colors. Adding music can effect the mood, sad song-sad happy song-happy! These are some thing that I think play a big part in making something persuasive or persuade you.

Brainstorming with group

*Dark Side*-  Pascuala’s story

Pros- People can see what it like when they don’t have an education. Be greatful

Cons- people don’t realice how lucky we are to have education. Look at it as a privlege!!!!

Consequences- how people end up.

We are choosing this one because it shows a perspective that is really tough, also some people aren't aloud or parents take them out of school to work like Pascuala. This a subject really close to me and my partner!  People take things for granted that are vital in everyday life.

Pros-Show that being a highschool dropout is definely NOT cool!!!

Cons-See consequences but, not privleges or how you can advance in life with a good education.

Hope-

Pros-How school and education can get you to suceed in life. (opens doors and oppurtunities)

Cons- You have to be driven/dedicated to something.

Examples-

Pros: Show consequences of not having education, the Jobs that you could get, places you could life

Cons- People are still happy although someone may not be very rich they can still be happy

Famous People

Pros- many succesful people have all had good education

Cons- many succesful people have had no eduaction too.

Lack of Education

Millions of children every year don't have the oppurtunity to recieve proper education. This is a global problem that leads to many other preoblems such as unemployment. Also this is a human right that is violated every day. There is no reason with the technology and resources we have today, for these low resoursced children to not be able to study.
People should be very concerned of this problem because it is the future generation which we are raising now. These children who are more and more evryday add on to poverty in the world which is also a big problem nowadays. Not only does this violate the human right for education but, it is unjustiffied for as the children that are not recieving education end up badly.
Some facts about these are that eduacation is a human right, more than 70 million students are not recieving prooer if at all eduaction.
