Performing-
At first I was super nervous then when I started playing that went away and I got play the whole piece including the left hand chords. Even though I kind of messed up it was good

Change performance-
I would be more confident without being nervous so I could show a better performance.

Week 3-Creative Writing

What new things have you learned?

I learned that, when I put pressure on myself to get something done on time I get it done to a standard I like, I also learned more about creative writing is not about how you write it, its about how you can make it interesting or eye-catching.

How have you learned them?

By using more descriptive words in my writings. Also reading through my writings and thinking if I was someone else would I want to read it, or would it be interesting.

What activities in particular did you find enjoyable, interesting or fun?

I really enjoyed writing my Haiku because I never really thought that I could actually write one, but I proved myself wrong

What specifically was interesting to you and why?

All the writings we did, because I could put my ideas into something we are learning and also I could think really hard about it to make it something I would want to read over and over.

What I have done.

Sensory language paragraph

As I walk down the busy street of New York. A range of sounds hit me as I remove my headphones, people yelling and cars honking at each other, But the most intoxicating whiff snapped me out of my thoughts. Just in front of me was a small diner, I could literally notice myself drooling over the scent, which got my stomach rumbling. As I got myself the far end table in the diner, savouring the astonishing food in front of me, which I noted to remember as a memory.  

What is a metaphor?

Is like a way of describing something beyond the way it really is in reality, metaphor could go overboard with the description to get us to imagine the way it is.  

What is a simile?

Is a way of comparing something similar  one thing to another, for example saying it like in a dramatic way, “jesy whipped through the crowd like a girl on a uncompleted mission”.

Number Visuals {Maths}

14/02/18

For this activity we as a class and group looked and different shapes which were up to 35,
we had to figure out what kind of pattern it was in, because some shapes looked alike just different amount of squares, triangles or circles in the shape.

We as a group had to come up with a conclusion of how the patterns on the paper were connected to each other.

Some groups concluded their findings that some patterns if you add up the number would equal the next pattern. for example the fifth pattern has 5 and the next pattern is ten which looks the same.

Human Rights

What I learned about human rights?

I have learned that not all of the human rights are known to many people around the world, not only are they unknown, they are also not used as of now many people around the world still suffer from Torture, Slavery and many more. So far in the subject, human rights, I still think that governments should put these rights further up in their priorities.

So many can live the life they wish for.
