The Hunger Games is a great read for teenagers but it also has a powerful message behind it about dictatorships and the power of the people if everyone stands up at once and fights against a dictatorship.
The Hunger Games also shows exacly what we have seen throughout history when younger people are the ones who decide to stand up against goverments when they are being unfair.In The Hunger Games Katniss and Peter stand up to the goverment when they both win tthe hunger games by threatening to kill themselves ig they cant both win this causes a uprising.We also saw this in history when african americans were fighting for their rights and the young college students were the ones who done the sit ins and protests to get blacks equal rights.


This links to todays society because their are protests everyday where young people are protesting for different things that are close to them to try get the government to change and give them the changes they wont in society.

Naughts And Crosses is a novel written by Malorie Blackman about a white guy called Callum and a black girl  called Persephone who have been friends since they were toddlers and fell in love when they grew up. But they live in a dystopia where blacks are the dominant race and whites get treated badly so nobody will let them be together but they still try to be together  in secret for their whole lives until Callum got hung for getting Persephone pregnant.


Naughts And Crosses is a entertaining novel with a powerful message behind it. Naughts and Crosses helps show everyone in the world racism is not acceptable towards any race and it dose not matter if your Muslim European Hispanic African American Asian or Polonyesian you should always be able to get along with people and treat people of opposite races with respect because when we are born and when we die we are all only human.


This is extremly important in todays society becasue if two kids living in a racist society can get along we all should be able to get along well in the twenty first century.The message Naughts and Crosses shows  is important in todays society becuase some people are forgetting how lucky we are and racist protests are happening in Charlotte and all around the world today and  we all need to be reminded to keep the piece  we have in the world today.

Book/Movie Title: How BJJ can be used as a powerful tool in  addiction  recovery
Author/Director: BJJee.com  Connor Hayes
Text Type: Article
Date Finished: July 4th 2017


How BJJ can be used as a powerful tool in drug addiction recovery is a article written by Connor Hayes from bjjee.com. The article is about how the martial art/combat sport of BJJ or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be used as a tool for recovering drug addicts and the reasoning behind why BJJ is useful for recovering drug addicts.


How BJJ can be used as a powerful tool in drug addiction recovery is a useful and informative article. It is a useful article because it has many good useful points about how BJJ helps drug addicts which may inspire a recovering addict to try BJJ for the reasons stated in the article. The first reason the article has for BJJ helping  recovering drug addicts is BJJ is a health motivator and will help drug addicts to live healthy so they are ready for competitions and can do well at the competitions because of wanting to do well in competition it helps drug addicts stay of drugs so they can win.The second reason the article had for BJJ helping recovering drug addicts is BJJ helps cure boredom this is good for recovering drug addicts because it can stop them from just sitting around and getting bored then going back to drugs because of being bored. The last major reason for BJJ helping recovering drug addicts is BJJ builds confidence and helps people to make friends building confidence is good for recovering drug addicts because is helps them feel good without being on drugs.Having new friends is also good because it can give you people to talk to about problems you may be having.


How BJJ can be used as a powerful tool in addiction recovery has an impact on all recovering drug addicts because when recovering from drugs its important to have something to take your mind off drugs and distract you from wanting to have drugs especially in the first few months of recovery. The article has an effect on me knowing that something i put most of my free time into can be used to help people who are going through tough times. It make me happy to see  that this article is on the internet because a person recovering from drugs may see it and decide to try the martial art and it could help them change their life and stop them from going back to drugs later on in life because  they will be to focused on improving them selves so they can win matches or just keep helathy.

Book/Movie Title: Overheated British Schoolboys Rebel against shorts ban by wearing skirts

Author/Director: Stuff.co.nz

Text Type: News Article

Date finished: Thursday June 29th 2017

Overheated Schoolboys Rebel against shorts ban by wearing skirts is a news article by Stuff.co.nz. The News article is about a group of British schoolboys rebelling against a no shorts policy at their school by wearing the skirts.

I find it encourageing that a group of normal teenage boys from England decided to stand up for what is right and protest for every other student that goes to their school (Isca Academy). The group of boys said they decided to protest for the change because even on days when it is 30 degrees they are forced to wear pants so they decided if they can't wear shorts they would protest and wear skirts. I think what makes it even more amazing is to get the change at their school they wore the skirts to school even knowing they would get in trouble but they didn't care they wanted the change for themselves and their school mates.

What these normal teenage boys done in England by protesting for change has an impact on a lot of people all over the globe. The reason a few teenagers protesting what they believe in at school affects all people is because all around the world especially people in countries in the middle east. People are protesting for all different reasons but even though their reasons for protest are different one thing that everyone has in common with the boys is everyone that protest or argues against something is arguing against injustice and mistreatment and trying to change the world so they are treated properly and this is exactly what these English school boys were doing arguing for change in their community.

Identify acute and chronic responses to exercise

Conclude findings by explaining what is happening to your body as a response to exercise.

As a response to exercise  more blood flows through your capilaries to give your body oxygen and the capilaries in your face close to the surface of your skin will cause your face to go red.The capilierises also help us to get heat out of our body.

P.E Revision Biomechanical Principals-Levers

In the throwing activities, the distance achieved is directly related to the speed of the release. Generally, the longer a lever is, the faster the distal end of the object will move. For this reason, the farther a discus or hammer thrower can position the implement from the body (the axis of rotation) during the turns before the release, the greater the speed of release.

In Shot Put the bicep is the antagonist and the input of force the fulcrum is the elbow joint the load is at the end of the arm.The more extended the the atheltes arm and the higher the position of the athlete the more force and speed the shot put will gain.

Observing the Effect of a Catalyst on a Chemical Reaction

PE Revision Test

1.Force summation is...Using as many body parts as possible and moving small mucles last to get maximum power.Or large mucles for power small mucles for accuracy and direction.


2.Projectile motion has 3 factors impacting the projectiles distance what are they
Speed of realese  Angle of realese  Height of realese


3.Balance and stability are impacted by
   BOS Base of support Width and points of contact
   COG Centre of gravity High vs low and shifting                                        What do they stand for
   VLG Verticle line of gravity Always runs through the centre of gravity

 
4.Newtons laws-there are 3 what are they give sporting examples for each Inertia-If you kick a ball it will keep rolling till an outside force stops it. F=ma. Action/Reaction-If you bounce a ball on the ground it will bounce back up.

Observing the Effects of Surface Area on Reaction Rate

Aim: To make simple observations during a reaction between calcium carbonate CaCo3 chips and powder with hydrochloric  acid HCI

Good and Bad Coaching PE

The first coach was coaching his team very very aggresivly and wouldnt listen to his team he also swore at them and made them feel like shit.He also had a go at the refs  as if it was a professional game.The coach was unsuccesful his team was losing and feeling like shit at the same time.Alot of the players ended up sad and looking at the ground in shame.The second coach was alot more succesful in the training he connected with his team made them feel good he had a good tone of voice and asked his team questions and gave them feedback and at the same time was helping his team have fun and gain alot of skills in the process.His athletes responed by happily listening to him and following the drills while having fun and smiling.In Conclusion the second coach was alot better because he talked sense and gave good constructive feedback not just yelling a bunch of random stuff a his team like the first coach.He alos helped the kids have fun while learning which is the main thing you must do as a coach in junior sport as it helps them enjoy the sport and hopefully they continue to play the sport and if they wish make a career from it.

Author/Director: Showtime Boxing and Biography Channel

Text Type:Documentary

Date Finished: April 12th 2017

Floyd Mayweather  " Full Mayweather Documentary is a biography about the living boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jnr also known as Floyd money Mayweather. The documentary is about how the boxing legend grew up and where he is in his career and life today.

Floyd Mayweather is a interesting person because like everyone who makes it big in the fight game worked hard and sacrificed a lot to get all the money and titles he has today. But he was also gifted with a personality that suits a fighter and has helped him to make 600 million dollars and counting over his career his personality is cocky an example of when he is being cocky during the documentary is when he is trash talking opponents in the middle of fights and when he enters the ring in one of his fights with people carrying him while hes dressed as a king.Floyd is also brash and always bragging about money and flashing tens of thousands of dollars around and driving around in supercars this causes people to either hate him or love him.But despite all of his antics and showing off Floyd is a real inspiration he grew up poor with his Dad in jail and his Mum addicted to drugs but still became the top boxer in his era .Floyd also proves you can work  hard behind the scenes putting in blood sweat and tears but then still have a lot of fun doing whatever you like whenever you like.

Floyd Mayweather and the way he lives his life has a personal impact on me and other young aspiring fighters because he worked extremely hard to get to where he is not having much money so he couldn't do stuff he wanted to but now he has the money to do fun things and buy cool cars and nice houses and he can support his family.Floyd Mayweather is an inspiration to me because he worked hard and now he gets all the benefits of his hard work and he still works hard in the gym everyday doing 8 mile runs and 12 rounds of sparring along with bag work pad work and strength and conditioning and he does all this even with all the distractions in his life.He he also proves if you work hard you can do the things you want and he proves you can have fun while working hard.This helps me in my life knowing that i need to work hard but sometimes i can take a break and have some fun.

Book/Movie Title: Warrior
Author/Director: Gavin O Connor
Text Type: movie
Date Finished:Friday March 31st 2017


Warrior is a sports drama movie about 2 brothers Tommy Conlon and Brendan Conlan who split up when they were teenagers Tommy left with his mother and Brendan stayed with his alcholic father and his girlfriend turned wife.But only a few years after the family split up Tommy and Brendans mother died of cancer but Brendan and his dad never found out that she died because Tommy hated them so much he didnt tell them and they had lost contact.But then 30 years later the family met up again Tommy coming back from war where he lost his best friend and promised his friends wife and kids money and he hired his now recovering alcholic father to coach him for the biggest MMA tournament in history Sparta  for 5 million dollors.And Brendan had quit fighting as well and had 2 kids and his wife but they got in financial trouble and brendan started fighting again in night clubs for money behind his wifes back  so they didnt lose there house but then he loses his job as a physics teacher for doing the fights and then starts training full time and when one of his teammates who was in Sparta gets injured his coach and long time friend gets him into the tournament.To help him keep his house if he wins.Both the brothers go into the tournament as under dogs and end up in the final together in a thrilling fight scence where they are both crying remebering the things they went through together as kids but in the end Brendan wins the 5 million dollor prize.The final shot of the movie is the 2 brothers walking out of the arena hugging each other and there dad smiling showing the family may have reunited in the most unlikely of ways.



The character that got me hooked to the movie the most is Tommy because he went through so much struggle in his life but still found ways to help people by joining the army and saving a entire group of U.S soilders he didnt even know.The respect fellow soilders have for Tommy is shown when he enters the cage and a whole area of the arena is U.S soilders singing songs in his honour.He also shows through all the pain hes suffered he is willing to enter a MMA tournament for 5 million dollors and give the money to his fallen friends family. The soilders singing songs in his honour and Tommy becoming an instant fan favourite in amongst MMA fans shows us the respect the public has for Tommy and what he is able to do.I feel the reason why people love tommy so much in the movie is everyone likes to see a hero and wants someone to look up to and Tommy is easily that hes a war hero who defended his country and saved many lifes and also a successful hard working athlete that i can look up to knowing no matter where you come from or what youve been through you can persivere and reach greatness and inspire other people to reach greatness changing lifes in the process.



The Movie is relevant to students my age because as young people we all have dreams and goals and we all want to do something great in life but some people think just because you dont grow up in the richest and nicest area with the best circumstances you cant reach these goal and make dreams reality.But this movie shows through what the 2 brothers went through growing up with a alcholic father and their parents spliting and the brothers not seeing each other again until 30 plus years later when they are aboun to fight in a cage and  their mum passing away shows us that no matter how bad your circumstances are you can still reach your goals work your way out of any situation and make dreams a reality.

P.E Quiz Newtons Laws

1 Describe Newtons law 1 give an example The law on inertia-The law of inertia states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless an outside force moves it or an object in motion stays in motion unless an outside force stops it.

2 Describe Newtons law 2 give an example Law of Acceleration-The law of acceleration states that if a net force acts on an object the object will acclerate the more mass something has the slower it will move the less mass it has the faster it will acclerate.

3 Describe Newtons law 3 give an example   Action reaction-The law of Action and reaction                      states for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction

KEY WORDS INERTIA

Change in state of motion 

KEY WORDS ACCELERATION

More mass slows people down Less mass speeds people/objects up 

KEY WORD ACTION REACTION 

Direction equal and opposite up forwards backwards


BOS Base Of Support

                                                                 

Newtons Laws

1-Explain who Issac Newton is: Issac Newton is the English Physicist who is recognised as one of the best physcist of all time and he discovered gravity.

List the 3 laws of 

First Law-The first law is that an object  stays at rest and a object in motion stays in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless an external force stops it.Motion or not enough motion can not change without an unbalanced force acting on the object.If nothing is happenin got you and nothing does happen you will never go anywhere.

Second Law-The second law says that the acceleration of an object produced by  a total applied force is directly related to the magnitude of the force the same direction of the force and inversely related to the mass of the object

Third Law- The third law say that for every force/action  there is an equal opposite reaction/force.






3:Give a sporting example for each law-

First Law-A football is at rest until kicked then continues to move until fritions stops it or another player stops ir


Second Law-The more force you applied to a football the faster it will move in the direction aimed


Third Law-When you lift the weights in a dead lift the opposite reaction is it moves upwards.
