P.B.L Third Action Plan



Our third action plan is asking Mrs clemence if we can have some cans of spraypaint that we can use for our Graffiti. But she said that she couldn't give away spraypaint because its way too expensive.
We came up with a plan to buy our own spraypaint and we can make our money back by letting people write their name in the wall but they have to pay $1.00

PBL Second Action Plan




Here are some of the examples that we showed to Mr. Sutton He chose the one at the top because he likes the writing because it is easy to read. .He also likes the colours because they represent joining or combining different communities, nationalities, and different genders.We also had other designs that we didn't put up here because Mr. Sutton said they are unreadable.
He then asks us if we can put some background behind it but we are still thinking about it.

We can overcome this by making some more graffiti and make him pick one

P.B.L

Group Name: The Fantastc four

Members: Andrew, Lincoln, Lindley,Vince

The topic we've chosen:Image result for graffiti


Website we've accessed:

Describe the issue:
We have chosen to promote graffiti to help people think differently about graffiti. Everyone thinks that its a bad thing but it means alot to the artist and you have to respect that and let them do what they want. We're going to prove the Graffiti isn't a bad thing.

We decided as a group that we would not go against graffiti and promote it. Our action is we are going to paint on walls that’s not used but we are going to ask permission first before doing it. The best place that we can do is at our school, empty and not used walls and some fences



Showing the community that graffiti can have positive impact . we also show people that do graffiti do their thing freely but they need to ask permission to do it

P.B.L Writing

My first day of P.B.L was pretty fun. I think im going to enjoy it for the rest of the term. I find it really helpful because we get to explore problems that the world is facing. i'm teaming up with Lindley, Vince, and Lincoln. I can't wait to explore deeper. I think this is a good way to end out year. P.B.L will be going onfor 5 weeks which is until the end of the term. Its not boring unless you're not into the topic. We chose our topic wisely because we had to make sure that were into it.The good thing about this is they give you a lot of topic to chose from. It wasn't a waste of time, the time actually went faster which was really cool. The topic that we've chosen as a group is Graffiti. We're going to find out what is Graffiti and How is it affecting the community. I want to explore Graffiti because Graffiti can have helpful measages in them. I think were all going to have a blast working together.  I wish we could've done P.B.L when we were a year8 because its so much fun.

Persuasive Writing

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are central to the art of persuasion. They are grouped into many different things based on persuasive language. They appeal to the ethics, emotions and logic part of things in terms of pursuing.

Ethos is a technique to convince or persuade an audience. Ethos is seen in action all the time. For example, politicians use ethical appeals to establish themselves as trustworthy individuals.
Examples of Ethos….
  1. "As a doctor, I am qualified to tell you that this course of treatment will likely generate the best results."
  2. "The veterinarian says that an Australian shepherd will be the perfect match for our active lifestyle."
These refer to an individual showing the credibility it has to showcase their characteristic images

Pathos appeals to your audience’s emotions or imaginations. It's the enthusiasm that gets them fired up about some cause these appeals rouse feelings of fear, pity, anger etc.
Examples of Pathos….
  1. "If we don’t move soon, we’re all going to die! Can’t you see how dangerous it would be to stay?"
  2. "I’m not just invested in this community – I love every building, every business, every hard-working member of this town."
These examples show how the audience express their emotions and imagination based on your appearance.

Logos aren’t just brand symbols. In the context of rhetoric, logos appeals to an audience’s logic point of view. Logical appeals are common in courtrooms, where evidence is used to support claims.
Examples of Logos….
  1. "The data is perfectly clear: this investment has consistently turned a profit year-over-year, even in spite of market declines in other areas."
  2. "History has shown time and again that absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Because this is in the logic part of persuasion, these examples show the evidence it needs to prove its point.

Business and Enterprise Questions

il_340x270.png

Overall the event was pretty good but I was kinda mad because people are rude because only our fellow Filipino friends bought our products.      

One thing I liked was we get a chance on what it feels to sell products because being a business owner can be a good making profit   


One thing I disliked was having to drop our price to sell all of all our products because no one will buy it because they don't trust our race on making Graham balls and people promising to buy our products but never came back. 

My product was correctly priced, I know this because we sold all of the products but we had to drop the price down by 50c.   


Next year I think the organizers should at least let as buy some of our stuff on our own because Digestive Crackers is different to Graham Crackers

Advert- Kick starter pens

 
This pen is a high-precision crafted EDC (every day carry). It's so precise that you can't even see where the caps meet the barrel of the pen. Their's different styles of pens for sale. One of them is a light titanium use to build real spaceships. The pen tip and ink refill screw were made out of an alloy of bronze that is redder in colour than standard brass and you can also change it to titanium. There's also other different versions which are "The key chain version" and "The pocket version".

Math Questions

1. I mainly learned about how supply and demand work and how the two work together.

2. How does the demand affect the supply?    

3. The new term that was introduced to me was commodity.    

4.  demand is "How many people are willing to buy the product". Supply is "How many stocks do they have.
