Hello everyone, in Social studies, we are still looking at sustainable fishing. We are given questions to answer and have to search more about this to know more about this.
How is commercial fishing a threat to dolphins and birdlife?
Hello everyone, in social studies we read a poem about a starfish. We have to blog about this and find more information behind the poem. Here is the poem about the starfish.
Once upon a time, there was a wise man
who used to go to the ocean
to do his writing.
He had a habit of walking
on the beach
before he began his work.
One day he was walking along
the shore.
As he looked down the beach,
he saw a human
figure moving like a dancer.
He smiled to himself to think
of someone who would
dance to the day.
So he began to walk faster
to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw
that it was a young man
and the young man wasn't dancing,
but instead he was reaching
down to the shore,
picking up something
and very gently throwing it
into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out,
"Good morning! What are you doing?"
The young man paused,
looked up and replied,
"Throwing starfish in the ocean."
"I guess I should have asked,
why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?"
"The sun is up and the tide is going out.
And if I don't throw them in they'll die."
"But, young man, don't you realize that
there are miles and miles of beach
and starfish all along it.
You can't possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened politely.
Then bent down, picked up another starfish
and threw it into the sea,
past the breaking waves and said-
"It made a difference for that one."
Evidence: The message is that small actions can be big action. Even though not a lot of people do this, 1 person can change everything. The poem also explains to us that we need to help the ecosystem and this can have a big change on our planet. Even though it's a small action it still matters. You can make a change even though it's insignificant and small we can make a change.
Hello everyone, in social studies we are working on the Great Pacific garbage patch. We are making a newspaper article about the great pacific garbage patch. The article is about the causes and information how we can help or where is the pacific garbage patch. Here is the newspaper article that I made.
Is this text fair?
- This text is fair because it explains how young adults/ young people should not be driving drunk.
How are children, teenager, or young adults constructed in this text?
- That young adults or men like to drink a lot. That they are likely to drunk drive.
How does the text present age, gender or cultural groups?
- That men like drinking alcoholic. That men's go-to bar more. That men are more prone to be more alcoholic than females.
Why is the text written this way?
- Don't drink, don't drive. That the men are considered more alcoholic and stereotype this way.
Hello everyone, Today in social studies we are learning about the importance of the ocean to the world. We have started by looking at the plastic issue of the great pacific garbage patch. This is my slide show on it.
