My ancient egyption timeline and essay.

Ancient Egyptians have been the inventors of many different contraptions. They invented the lighthouse which they made white so it was able to be seen from a far distance. They made the sundial to use to determine the time

Egyption technology in 3000bc has changed so much over time. This matters because it has changed by making it so much easier to make and it is able to be made in different countries because they have all the correct resources for it. It has also made our world so much easier.  An example of this is paper. Paper has evolved so much over time. Back in the ancient egyption times, they used this thing called a papyrus plant to use as a type of paper to write on. Comparing that to this time period where we have paper made of things like trees , wrags or even grasses.  Paper these days is so much more practical because you can buy them in much bigger packages. So paper has evolved so much from the egyption times and it has become a lot more practical and easier to get but the idea they had to use the papyrus plant to make a type of paper was really smart. 

Paper is only one of the things that the egyptians have made. 

Term 3 Art

This term we have been learning different painting techniques which we have been practicing to turn into a big painting. One of the things we have been learning to use is this thing called Gesso which is an Italian pronounced word which is a paint mixture with chalk or charcoal mixed into it. When we used this we had to spread it around as much as we could so when it dries it has a smooth texture. if you don't spread it around enough, there will be brush marks within the Gesso base. We also worked on blending colours together. My one i did was pink,blue and green and the other one was red to yellow but it ended up just going orange.

These two pieces are my having a go at doing a gradient. And the one on the far left is me doing a layering technique that miss introduced me to.

This is what i came up with when i was doing stenciling. The picture on the left is one of the stencil cutouts and the one on the right is what i came up with.This is me practicing using the Black and White Gesso. i didn't really get a good go at putting anything on the top of the gesso but it was run to spread around.      
I learnt that these techniques are all very different from one another but they are all reasonably fun. I learn't how to spread the gesso around properly so then there aren't any brush makes in it. 

Unwind pt.2 Storked End Of Chapter Questions

What is the story based on a nursery rhyme that circulates among the youth? 

Risa overhears two nurses debating law and human nature. Which argument do you think is the stronger? Why do you think this? Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts on law and human nature. 

This section opens with a mother abandoning her newborn infant on the doorstep of a house in a good neighborhood. As she leaves, she thinks "How wonderful it is that she can get a second chance. How wonderful it is that she can dismiss her responsibility so easily."  

In your opinion, by allowing new mothers to give up their children so readily, does it take away from the value of a child?  
In my opinion, i don't think it takes any value away from the child that has been left there. But the society in the story might have a different view on that and might have the mindset of that a storked baby in there to be unwound when they turn the age of 13

What is the role of a mother? Do you think the title of mother is something that should be earned, or a natural right of the woman who gave birth? 
I think that the title of mother should be earned. because if you have a baby then stork it straight away you aren't considered as a good mother and that works the same if you keep the baby but treat it like it doesn't exist.

What skills or attributes do Connor and Risa have that work well together? 
Connor reacts to things quickly and Risa actually thinks things through

Connor and Lev have very different experiences with storking. How has this helped shape each of their attitudes toward the society they live in? 
Well Connors experiences with being storked hasn't been the best because as said before, when he got storked the baby just got passed around the neighborhood for two weeks until it ended up back at his house and then it ended up dying. but every time Lev was storked, they kept the baby and they had very positive views on storked baby's and they kept them as their own. Lev hasn't had that bad experience with the storked baby's where they have died.

Connor is concerned the baby won't be loved, and ultimately will die, so he takes it. What does this show us about him as a person?  
It shows us that he is a person that cares for others.

What makes Lev realise he doesn't want to be unwound? P79 
What pastor Dan said to him

Each of the other characters on the run has a tragic background story. Why were Hayden, Roland and Mai set to be unwound? Which, do you think, is the most tragic? Explain your response. 

What tattoo does Roland have?

The Tiger shark

Wind Racer Challenge

Aim: To make a wind racer that goes the furthest out of the class.

Equipment:
Large paper (maybe)
Tape
Bamboo Stick
String
Popsicle sticks
Plastic bags

Method:

1. Construct the mast by adding it onto the trolley thing
2. Make the sail using the plastic bag or the paper. Use The Popsicle sticks to strengthen it so it doesn't cave inwards. We have to shape it correctly so it is able to catch the wind to make it go for longer
3. Add sail to the mast.
4. Strengthen mast just to give it more support.
