BLOG 1: Monday 29th November 2010

Today was a very eventful day in relation to our **progress in the completion** for transition week. As it was the **first day**, we formed our group of Rebecca, Jeremy and myself, and also came up with our **team name, team logo and our team song.** One **disadvantage** in which our group in particular encountered were many problems with technology therefore allowing our group to be behind with many of the activities completed. Nevertheless, our team **isn't called Awesome for show**! We //will// catch up and it //will// be **awesome.** Overall it was a day filled with many **positive and negative** factors, and our team can only hope and work harder for a better one! Will write back tomorrow, to update you on our **progress and events!**



= RESEARCH TIPS =


 * To exclude results from a google search, input search, then put a hyphen/minus then the word you want to exclude. Example: Google search: Mullet -hair. Gives the results for everything mullet other than the hairstyle

Some good Google search tools:
 * Wonder wheel
 * Timeline


 * Boolify is also very useful.

= CLOZE PASSAGE! =

__WORD BANK__:
 * Acknowledging || Strategies ||
 * Sources || Students ||
 * Moral Rights || HSC ||
 * Plagiarising || Exam ||
 * Reference || Integrity ||

Students who copy information and written material from websites and books without acknowledging the sources or making reference to them are plagiarising. In the HSC there are many students who challenge their integrity and moral rights by plagiarising. There are many strategies of which students may follow to prevent temptation of cheating or plagiarising in an exam or assessment.

WEBSPIRATION MIND MAP!

= PLAGIARISM POEM! =

Like a thief lurking through the misty shadows,

searching for something which they can follow

no- not that,

as what they find is hollow.

With no integrity, they take what is not theirs,

with no acknowledgement, they just don't care,

about the consequences, or what the author put in,

what they achieve will not be a win.

The red shadow of guilt is slowly bursting,

and will lead to the confession of which has been slowly thirsting.

BLOG 2: Tuesday 30th November 2010  Today was an extremely **eventful** day, like yesterday- was filled with many **positive and negative** factors. Awesome things about today would have included, that we came up with our **main idea**, completed our webspiration, began our story board and won a poem competition! Negatives would include the **technology issues** of which we had to face, however they were soon overcome. Due to this fact our day was **more better than worse**, and we progressed much in our project. Overall we strongly believe that our project will be done by the due date **(hopefully!).** Will write back again tomorrow!! Until then, we are Awesome :)

 * Identify: The reason why i have put the term identify as the easiest is because it requires two actions in which are mainly done automatically.
 * Outline: The reason why i have put the term outline near the easier part of the middle is mainly because when one is outlining, it does not require much depth therefore making the task easier, however it does require more than just identifying.
 * Discuss: The reason why i have put the term discuss near the harder part of the middle is mainly because when one discusses, they are not only required to provide arguments which therefore leads to evidence/examples, but it also include comparison and one having to take two different perspectives if writing one alone.
 * Assess: The reason why i have put the term assess as the second hardest, is mainly because the process of one assessing is somewhat long, as it requires one to make a judgement on many different aspects of something, however before one may do that, it normally requires one to identify and define them first.

In today's lesson my group and i began recording our film. After working in our tutorials, and locating images from the internet, we went off to begin recording our film. We interviewed different people on their perception on what success is to them. We received a variety of answers and finished recording. After we finished filming we transferred the videos to i-movie. Christy began using the videos for i-movie, the n added titles and designs to the film. Later that afternoon we had a team challenge that each individual of each team needed to complete. The challenge was on the board of studies glossary of terms.

To begin today's lesson my group and i went to our tutorials to finish up any work needed to be completed using our tutorial time. After the tutorials i interviewed people on their perceptions on what failure is to them. Christy and Jeremy worked to complete the rest of the film on i-movie and adding the transitions Due to complication on the mac computers it required editing and took more time to complete. During period 3 and 4 we had a team challenge and then were put to work with group four on a freeze fram and i was the narrator. I also spent time this lesson to go on wikispace and blog.
