Comparing T.P.S kai garden with the past

Sustainability in T.P.S

My Observation Report

This term we have been learning about plants and my group is doing an experiment about plant needs.’Will a plant survive better in the sun or without the sun?’ This was the main question we had to answer.

On the 10th of August,I gathered two plastic cups,two broccoli plants,soil, and a light proof box.First I poured some soil inside both cups then added the broccoli plants.I set one plant under the light proof box in a dark area and the other plant in the sun.

After two days the plant that was under the sun (Daisy) had an injury on her leaf.It was hanging on the edge of death. On the other hand Dandelion (the plant under the box) had some very small light tan patches.

The next day, I noticed that Dandelion had bright tan around the edges.It was like there was a tan disease going around.But Daisy has been getting worse. She had two leaves that are wilting. I was immediately Stunned.

Finally Day three.I was being bothered by the results from Daisy.So I checked up on Dandelion first.One of Dandelions leaves started to get dry. I knew that it will wilt soon.

In the end both plants sadly died.

I have discovered the answer to the case on Day two.Daisy didn’t have the light she needed from the lamp that she had accidently been under.

I have finally realized why the plants have been wilting, because we didn’t give the plants enough water which is one of their needs.

My Dream Garden

The main theme of this garden is ‘whanau’.Thats why theres a heart shaped pond in the heart of the garden.It obviously represents love and its a great view from the tree house in the pohutukawa tree where children can play.Under the tree is a bench which can spin around and you can relax on it under the shade of the tree and theres a tap there too.Children can also plant their own plants behind the vege garden on the left.There are tools at the end of every garden bench so you can plant more or take out plants.There is also a medicine garden at the bottom of the pond.Near the medicine garden is a bench where you can use the medicine plants.You can prepare the medicine in the pot next to the bench.The flowers near the pond is for the view and show.And lastly there is a compost mount behind the veges on the right for recycling and we put it behind the garden because it woudn’t fit with the other plants.

Interviewing Movie Presentaion

Movie Magic Evaluation

I think that good actors is the most important element to movie making because they make the movie look more realistic and if the movie is an influencing movie it will be effective because the movie will look real and then the audience might think that may happen to them to and then they may be persuaded.
I put flash camera and good editing second because. a flash camera will have good quality image and sound so the movie will be more realistic.  I put good editing because not so good editing will ruin the movie but good editing will make the movie more than it is.And it's like writing, we edit our writing and our writing will be more than it is.

I think the least important element is a Tripod because. a tripod is good for stillness and it will avoid shaking but there are also other things around that could also be used as a tripod.
Other important elements that aren’t included here are clear storyboard.  Storyboards are important because you can clearly see what angles you will use and what it might look like on camera.

My biggest lightbulb moment while learning about movie magic was the angles like close up, extreme long shot, medium close up etc.  Since then, everytime i watch a programme or a movie on T.V i always notice how the angles change and what kind of angles they use and i noticed that if i had a long shot people mostly slowly zoom in,and no one really notices but it really helps.

Speech Reflection

How did you  about presenting your speech to the class?
I felt Confident at first but when i went up i was still confident but when i started my speech i don’t know why but i just talked too fast.

What was the hardest part about preparing a speech?
The hardest part was structuring the speech and persuasive idea’s.

What did you enjoy most about speeches?
I really liked how they persuaded me and describing visions from both sides.

How could you improve your speech making next time?
I could practiced more in front of more people so i can get used to it.
