Final Refection

For the past 3 weeks we have been constructing a Augmented reality sandbox. we have been making it for our passion project because these are things i find cool. In this photo this is the digital group learning how to set up an augmented reality system. I am learning how to do that as well. The wooden base should be done by this Thursday and then we can show our project next Thursday. We have our admins working on having it working so we know how it works

The connect senser will be sensing the depth of the sand and if there is shade to make rain and the projector will project the sensed depth. So that will make it project a visual presentation

Equipment:
Xbox 360 kinect
Sanyo projector
Computer with Linux
Sandbox our group is making
Now we are still not done because the computers aren't strong enough, the building crew is finished with it our building crew is just doing the finishing touches to the sandbox. Like sanding the outside. This is also our last week of passion week. But we are presenting this Thursday

Today is our last day for passion projects we have to present later today because it's almost time to present

I choose this passion project because i like the technology that we get to use with this passion project. I also picked this because i get to learn about the specs for computers

When we had to sift the sand it didn't go well because we had to trial lots of ways for it to happen, but everything else was okay


This is our final design

English Essay

Introduction

(Q) If given the choice between right and kind, choose kind. (T) Wonder, (A) R.J Palacio. (K) Jack punching Julian in the mouth because Julian said some rude things about Auggie behind his back. (O) Jack punched Julian because he was looking out for his friend.

Main Body:
(S) When Jack had punched Julian in the face he was given one week off and has winter break off too. Jack also has to write a apology letter to Mr Tushman and too Julian’s family also. (E) Jack has punched Julian in the mouth because of how Julian was saying rude things behind Auggies back, but August would find out anyways from other people talking about it, but when the teachers broke up the fight between Jack and Julian, they were both sent to Mr Tushman’s office to have a talk, Jack's mother came as soon as she was called. When Julian and his parents came to have a talk with Mr Tushman. Mr Tushman had shown the rude notes and photos that Julian had said to Auggie. Julian’s parents said that it was not Julian that has been the one giving the notes and the photo’s to August. There was even a class photo that Julian’s mum had photoshopped Auggie out of it and has labeled on it saying ‘No freaks allowed’ and on the back it says ‘Just go and die’.

(S) Another thing that has been done in the book is how Jack was saying rude things about August behind his back. Jack had said that ‘if i looked like that i would kill myself’. (E) When Jack told Julian, Henry, Amos and Miles that he would kill himself if he looked like that, August overheard Jack saying that. As soon as Auggie overheard Jack saying what he had said, when August heard what was said about him, he went to the nurses office to fake being sick so he could get picked up to go home. As soon as they got home Auggie ran to the bathroom and threw up. (X) For example Jack said that he would kill himself if he looked like August. As soon as Auggie heard that he said that he had a stomach ache and a headache. After he was finished with throwing up in the bathroom he went to his bed and pulled the covers over his head, then his mother walked into the room with some hot tea to ease his stomach. (Y) When August heard Jack saying mean things about himself he was feeling really sad and left because of what he had heard. Then went to the nurses office because he was not feeling good.

(S) Another surprising moment in the story. August has social issues because of his face because he does not look normal because of his deformity in his face, but he can’t help what he looks like. Since August likes star wars Julian says that August must like Darth Sidious because they look alike according to Julian. (E) Julian says that August looks like. (E) August has a lot of social issues because of his face and that people judge him but he can’t help how he looks because it’s how he was born. (X) An example is how he doesn’t like going into public places because he’s scared of being judged for his face, he also hates going to school because people stare at him and make weird faces towards him and it makes him sad because it is how he was born so he can’t help it because it’s how has been born. (Y) With Auggie having a non ordinary face he still goes to school because of his friends that he has at school, But people will still judge him because it is how people are these days.

Conclusion:

The surprising/shocking moment that happened in the book and the movie is that Jack punches Julian in the mouth because Julian was saying rude things about August. But August stays strong because he is surrounded by good people/friends and they make sure he is cared for.

Metal project

Today 4/5/2018
I have made a dog tag that says my name on and more things on top of it, it is also made out of Aluminium. And that is what makes me unique because it has what I want on it, I enjoyed this process because you got to make a dog tag with what you want on it, It was fun because we used a lot of different tools to make these
I hope to make more thing in metal because it is fun.
I did kinda messed up when i was putting my initials because i have more than one K on it because i couldn't get the right place for it after i hammered it with the hammer to stamp the name on it.

Tools used to make this:
Buffing machine
Hand saw
Square
Stamping letters
Polishing machine
And much more but i forgot the name for.

We started this in Term 1 Week 5, Around that time. We start it off with a long Aluminium strip that we cut up into 20 by 40 cm. We cut this with a Hand saw with was a little bit hard because you had to keep your arm straight and that was hard if you're hand shakes. Then you we drill a hole in the Aluminium tag. After we do that we round off the corners so it's round and we don't cut our self and then we stamp whatever we want on it but their is somethings we can not put on and rude things. Once we stamp the things that we want on it, we can buff it then polish so it's nice and shiny. When you have made it shiny you can take it home.

Word Vomit

Word vomit is about how much words we can make out of 5 words
This weeks 5 words are

  • Toaster
  • Motorcycle
  • Spider
  • Fallen Tree
  • Red Pen
I was riding down a lonely street with my Motorcycle and my pet Spider. We went past a Broken Tree in the middle of a park because of the storm a few ago and it was marked with a big X on it because it was one of the ones that needed to be taken out anyways but the storm did it for them. I then went home to use my new Toaster that i had brought a few hours ago but didn’t use it because it had ot go out to get something else because i forgot to get the other thing that i needed. I let my pet spider roam around his habitat with his new Red Pen that i had brought him and i also got him a new house that can go in his habitat. My spider managed to climb his habitat and got out so he roamed around the house waiting till i get up at 5:30 am in the morning.

Making Hot Cross Buns

Yesterday, as Easter rapidly approaching, Chloe, Jaime and I baked Hot Cross Buns in Home Economics.

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat or white flour
  • Baking powder
  • Salt
  • Butter 
  • Honey
  • Cinnamon
  • Raisins
  • Milk
Frosting ingredients
  • Icing sugar
  • Milk
  • Vanilla essence
The method consisted of mixing our dry ingredients together in a bowl, then incorporating the butter in until it resembled coarse breadcrumbs. 
Next came the honey, cinnamon and raisins, which we had to toss slightly, for some flavour and texture to our buns. 
The next step is to make a well in the middle of the bowl. Then you add the entirety of the milk at once, using a fork to stir it around quickly. The dough should pull away and look like a ball.
The final step is to divide the ball into smaller, even balls, but Jaime, Chloe and I divided ours into three big ones.

To bake the buns, place the balls atop a baking sheet. Use a knife to cut a deep cross through the top of each ball. 
Bake the buns at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes. 
Ours took approximately 14 minutes to bake. 

To make the icing, in a bowl we mixed icing sugar, a small amount of milk, and a few drops of vanilla essence. Remember to be careful! The icing consistency must be thick but not runny. If you pull it up with a spoon it should run down, but not fall off the spoon. I think we nailed our icing because it delicious and a perfect consistency without needing an extra amount of any ingredients. 

Once the buns are finished baking, leave them to cool for just a few minutes if time allows. We actually had a lot of spare time so we left them for about two minutes to allow the bread to set and cool. If we were to put the icing on immediately, it would have melted down due to the high temperature of the buns.

 Now it is time to ice the hot cross buns! Using a spoon, we drizzled the icing on the buns using our cross as a guideline. It was difficult to get a perfect cross but we definitely could have done worse. 

We believe we had a really good practical lesson. Our buns were cooked perfectly on the inside - light and fluffy, and firm on the outside. 
They tasted delicious, I really liked how the cinnamon, honey and salt added flavour, as well as how the raisins added texture. 

My favourite part of the process was the icing, it had a really good consistency and sweet taste. It was also fun to drizzle it on top of the bun.

Pizza Scroll

Jay, Jaime, Chloe and I created Pizza scrolls yesterday in Home Economics. 
We were proud of how good it tasted because it was amazing because we made it well

Ingredients
  • Flour
  • Butter
  • Milk
  • Salt 
  • Baking powder
  • Onion
  • Ham/bacon
  • Cheese
  • Tomato puree
  • Herbs

Method
  • First of all we had to cut up the butter into small cubes and incorporate that into the flour with our fingertips. 
  • We had to cut the rind of the bacon before slicing it into small pieces.
  • Then we added milk to our flour and butter bowl and used a butter knife to mix it into a dough. 
  • The dough was then kneaded - it is important not to over knead it as the dough can become tough and difficult to roll out. 
  • While we did that, we fried the bacon and onion in a frying pan. We used butter, but you can also substitute it for oil or cooking spray.
  • We also grated some cheese. 
  • We rolled out the dough with a rolling pin. We had to ensure it was thin and even, and shaped like a large rectangle.
  • Then we spread tomato puree, sprinkled some herbs and grated cheese, and topped it off with the fried bacon and onion on the dough. 
  • After that we rolled the dough up into a cylinder shape and used a knife to cut it into small rolls about an inch wide. 
  • It was then baked for about ten minutes, until they were brown at the top and were cooked on the inside. We learned that even if they were a little bit doughy on the inside, after we let them sit the doughiness would subside.

Wonder Assignment

Questions that i have to answer about the book wonder, pages 11-43


  • If August could have any wish it would to look like an ordinary kid because that is what he would want to do
  • Ordinary is like being like everyone else and not being different, August is extraordinary because of his face because it looks different to everyone else
  • They just stare and look down at the ground because he look different than others
  • Augusts dad said that because he would be helpless because he would be alone and have no friends because he looks different so no one will want to be friends with him
  • If i was his mum or dad i wouldn't send him to school because he might not make friends and that is sad because he just wants to be ordinary
  • His mum told a white lie about not sending him to school and but she did end up sending him to school, A white lie is something that is completely wrong but you can tell if it is right
  • August likes Mrs Garcia because she is caring, but he doesn't like her shiny smile because it sometimes is a scary smile sometimes
  • Because Julian looks like a bully because of the way he acts and the way he speaks and the clothes he wears, Julian bullies auggie because of his face and saying "were you in a fire for something" because he looks different way to everyone else, Auggie responds with shrugging his shoulders and then Jack Will responds too with he was born like that.
_______________________________________________________________________________

More questions i have to do about Wonder 41- 80


  • August is like a padawan because of the hair at the back of his head
  • Julian said that do you know Darth sidious he was probably meaning that he looks like him
  • Being kind is better than being right because you can get a lot more things being kind
  • He is mad at his mother because she didn't want to sent him to school
  • He invited his whole class but they didn't show up because they think that his family is weird
  • Aversion means having a strong dislike to something, he dislikes his photo being taken because of what he looks like
  • August might not change his opinion on Jack Will because jack might have been talking about how Augusts a nice kids
  • He probably will go back to school because he has lots of friends
Can Do's
  • Treacher Collins is when your face does not look like others like your eyes slant downwards you have a small jaw and chin, it alters development of the bones in your face
  • Contagious means something can spread, Exception means someone that doesn't follow the rules, Recital means a small group performing something, Aversion means having a strong dislike to something, Mortality means a state of subject to death
_________________________________________________________________________________
More questions i have to do about Wonder 81-117
  • HOW WAS THE POINT OF VIEW DIFFERENT IN PART ONE THAN PART TWO?
    WHEN THE BOOK GOT UP TO PART TWO THE STORY WAS TOLD BY OLIVIA,
    AUGUST’S OLDER SISTER.


    In a paragraph, describe the challenges Via must face being Auggies sister?
    I think Via will face lots of challenges being Auggie’s sister because
    she is always trying to protect him and keep him out of harm.
    Olivia also wants to be someone other than ‘ the cripples sister’.
    She feels embarrassed when she invites her family to places.
    Olivia loves August very much and doesn’t want to see him hurt.


    Via says ‘ August is the sun’ explain what she means.
    She says that august is the sun because it feels like everything revolves around him,
    the spotlight is never on her.

    Via thinks that her parents are wrong when it comes to making August feel normal,
    why do you think this is?
    I think she feels that making him feel normal is a bad idea because nobody else thinks of him as
    normal and she doesn’t want him to get his hopes up. Do you agree?
    No but I understand her argument.


    Via goes by Olivia at high school, why do you think this is?
    I think she doesn’t go by Via because that’s
    what Auggie calls her and she wants to be her own self, not just Auggie’s sister.


    How is Olivia going at high school? At highschool nobody knows about August,
    she has a boyfriend and some other friends so it is going well.


    What are the odds of Olivia having a baby which looks like August?.
    If she marries someone with the gene there is a %50 chance of the child having the gene and
    being fine, %25 chance of the child not having the gene at all and
    %25 chance of the child looking like Auggie. Do you think these are good odds?
     They are not the greatest.


    Explore the character Miranda, what did she say to August in the end of part two?
    Miranda was Via’s best friend and she said that she misses Via.


    Describe Via as a character. Via is August’s big sister and is a very empathetic person,
    she has her own problems but worries and cares about Auggie heaps.
    She loves her family but wants a life of her own. Do you empathise with her? Yes, I do.


    What do you think will happen to august when he returns to school?
    Nobody knows that it was him in the bleeding scream mask,
    he will continue to be friends with Summer.

  • Julian's mum photo shopped August out of the photo because she wanted the class to look normal
and because not many people like August because of what he looks like

with his body
  • Mrs Albans also thought that August shouldn't be allowed at Beecher prep because it is probably for the best of the best
  •  Jack feels really sad for being frozen out by all the other boys because he was friends with them but not they don't like him
  • Justin was nervous about meeting Olivia's parents because he might think that they will not like him
  • Justin greets all four of the family members differently because they are all different
  • Justin told Julian and the other boys to leave Jack alone because they were bullying Jack because he hangs out with August
  • Via calls herself a awful person because she is not talking to Miranda just because she changed how she looked and how she talks

I choose to use Perfect by Ed Sheeran because it is about love between two individuals, It fits their
personality because Via and Justin are both in love with each other just like the two people in the video.
