"WALK AGAINST SLAVERY"

As part of PBL, we decided to do the action of doing a walk. The whole purpose of the walk was to experience how girls are taken away into slavery, human trafficking and sales. On Wednesday 29th, 2017 was the walk day. We walked from school to Westfield Mall and back. It took approximately THREE hours. At the end, we had sore feet and were hot even though it was an overcast. During the walk, we got a lot of honks from passing cars and thumbs up even some encouraging words from passing pedestrians. We were even able to walk through the mall getting stares. And somehow it took us a week to make 4 posters. Whoops. And only ONE looked good! There was only one mishap were a man passing in a car pulled the finger at us... But other than that everything was good! We had a great day and returned to school with pride.

Organizing a meeting

Two days before the walk we set up a meeting to give information to the girls that wanted to go. I don't think boys wanted to go because they're lazy.. shh. There was a group of 10 that came.

"Hokay"

At Hornby High School we have been asked how we can have a positive impact on the community?

To do this first I had to choose a topic. I specifically chose Gender Issues because I think it affects many people in the community and would like to make a different appearance on this issue. We formed a group called "Hokay". In the group was Michelle, Tyrepa and I.

To help us understand further information on gender issues we needed to find websites that gave us information on the topic we chose. These are the websites we accessed:

Website Name	Link	Date we accessed site
What causes Gender Inequlity	https://www.nyu.edu/classes/jackson/causes.of.gender.inequality/	14/11/17
The global Problem	https://www.huffingtonpost.com/nake-m-kamrany/gender-inequality_b_1417535.html	13/11/17
SNN	http://www.scholarsstrategynetwork.org/brief/how-gender-inequality-persists-modern-world	16/11/17

We then had to answer some questions about our topic;
Who is affected: Everyone globally is affected by gender inequality
What are the issues: Men thinking that women are fragile therefore they sell or seduce them
When and how did it start: When European started enslaving women
Where is it happening: It's happening in countries that have a high population homelessness
Why is it happening: Because of the thought that's been put into our minds that men are better and stronger and meant to be dominating

Then we had to make an action plan to help our situation;
Since its hard for us to actually help the women affected by this we are planning on making posters and pamphlets about gender inequality and posting them around school plus putting them up around our community. We would also like to contact Tearfund and ask what we can do to help

The first day of PBL wasn't as enjoyable as I would've liked it to be, but it was alright. The first period of it seemed pretty loud and noisy to my understanding, but we still managed to get pass checkpoint 1. We were hoping to get pass checkpoint two but didn't manage to do so. Overall first day of PBL wasn't that bad.

Ethos, Logos, Pathos

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, uses 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.

Market Day (Business and Enterprise)

Wiki Wraps

My group wasn't very helpful. During the whole Market day I had to stand at our stall and sell the product while the rest were just wondering of. This very thing got on my nerves. Next year (if year 10's are going to be doing it) I hope to work with people who are committed and don't wonder of.
Overall I really enjoyed it. It was a huge step up from last year which in my opinion was phenomenal. My group/company made a profit of $30.00 which was outstanding. I really enjoyed the process of making the product rather than the Business work. :):)
