Sustainability/Textiles

What is Sustainability? 
Is about the environment on how people treat it and do to it.

What are some of the issues we are facing?
Poulton from factory's, vehicles, plastic bottles/Milk bottles, plastic bags, and other non-recyclables.

What can we do to be more sustainable in our lives? 
Don't let rubbish fly away and put in the nearest bin. If there is not a bin near you take it home with you and put it in your own bin. And reuse plastic bags and do not let them fly away. Or put one in a bin to hold rubbish that cannot be recycled. Or you could use old clothing (that do not fit anymore or you don't wear.) Or Fabrics that can be used and make it into something new. Like a bag that can be washed and reused multiple times.

Textiles - Pt 2

In Textiles I've have just cut out my shirt, next I am going turn it inside out a sew it closed where the arms were and the neck bit was. Next week I am going to probably paint my name in Japanese on it down the left side. Maybe I'll stick with my original plan and add a little black cat head out of black felt or something like that on the right side, it all due to how much time I have and it to have a drawstring opening and closing on the bottom of the open part of the shirt. I cannot wait to finish this I really hope this will turn out alright!

Crash Course in Critical Literacy

For English, Our class has Watched a Video and we are answering the question down below


What aspects of stories was she (Andrea) interested in?
Don't take things at face value look for the hidden messages what you see is not always what you get.

What did the ad imply with the big diamond ring?
If you buy your partner a big diamond that means you love them and if you don't you don't love them

What Subtext? It is the hidden message

With CL, can each student have their answer? They all have different answers

What does Andrea compare CL to?
She compared it to the girl, like dressing is more important than Maths.

How can CL be applied to your life outside school? You might end up doing something dumb if you buy that thing that will make you look good, but sometimes it is not what it seems.

What am I leaning?
I am learning about how to point out things and look more into the ad and point out the hidden things.

How does this work show my learning?
I gave me a message that doesn't believe the ad like food, for example, it looks good but reality it looks totally different sometimes.

What am I wondering?
I am wondering over all this time I have not noticed the secret things in add and the truth I just believed it the first time I saw it.
