research on Antarctica

Chosen Issue: Antarctica  

Processing and Recording: Write the information you find in the spaces - remember to write in your own words.

Key Question 1: What is the environmental/social sustainability issue? 

The ice is melting in Antarctica , it's bad because it's going to kill all the animals that live on ice. 

We also will lose a lot of our land because the water melting causes  it to overflow and come onto our land and then we run out of places to live because most of our land will be underwater.        

We are creating greenhouse gases which is polluting the air and making the temperature rise and this causes the ice to melt.                        

Key Question 2:  What factors have caused this issue?

The summer causes the ice to melt, but only in  some cases also people. By polluting the air through greenhouse gases we are causing some of the ice to melt because  the warm air is melting the ice.

Key Question 3:  What will happen if this issue continues to degrade? 

if we don't stop and help prevent this antarctica ice will all melt and rise sea levels by 58 meters which will come onto the land, which means people will start to lose houses. Greenhouse gases are created by pollution which allows the earth's temperature to rise.

Key Question 4: What are the possible solutions to this issue (either being currently done or could be done)?  

We could stop using as much plastic which will save the air from getting so warm then will stop the ice from melting. We need to make changes which reduce greenhouse gases. Currently efforts are being made to create the world's largest marine reserve. Russia, China and Ukraine are preventing this from happening. 

conclusion  

I learned that we are the reason the ice is melting. I also learnt that some of the things we use in our daily lives that we think don't do much harm to our environment do actually such as cars,electricity and plastic  . So when you go somewhere, think about what you are doing before you do it because it can change our future.  

Act Three, Scene Four

Finish this quote that shows Lorenzo’s opinion of Antonio? ‘But if
you knew of whom you show this honour, how true a gentleman you

send relief’ (Black Pg. 131, Blue Pg.78)

attitudes of young men.

‘Like a fine bragging youth, and tell quaint lies, how honourable ladies

Does it seem likely that Portia is going to follow the expected 

behaviour of a wife? kind of i dont really know

Act Three, Scene Five

Do you think Nerissa talking with Portia about her options is a helpful, why?

same set for every play.they had props,costumes and make up and hair
Shakespeare is broken up into acts scenes (e.g al-s1)

Brief: 
To create a new layout for the classroom T8.

Research:
The class room needs to have enough space to move in the class and students to be able to see the TV and white bored.

Ideas:
we made a layout of the class 

 we updated out paper version to a better version that would work better,here is our paper version

my holidays

m y     h o l i d a y s ! ! !
They were good at the start i went down and stayed in Ashburton with my grandmother, Grandfather, cousins and my best friend from Ashburton Rebeka. i went and stayed at my grand parents and cousins house for 2 nights. Then i went to countdown a couple of minutes before i went to Rebeka's house i got us junk food and then went to Rebeka's and stayed there. The next day we woke up at 12:00pm and got ready to leave. Rebeka's mum went and dropped me off back of at my grand parents house because Rebeka and her family where coming to Christchurch. I went and stayed at my grand parents house. i slept at my grand parents house that night i was pretty tired that night but i stayed up because i just couldn't go to sleep i call my friend and we talked all night. That very next morning i found out mum was coming to Ashburton. My mum got to my grand parents house at 7:00pm they where staying for dinner.
