They protray it as very bad and that something must be done about it.

1. Open and read the “How to write a critique” document in the resources menu.
Describe what is a critique.
A critique involves identifying critical things to say about an article and resisting the temptation to describe rather than analyse.
2. Outline the FOUR stages in a critique.
A critique usually has 4 parts:
An introduction (which directs the reader’s attention to the publication and your response to it)
A summary of the article
Your analysis or critical commentary on the original text
Your evaluation or conclusion
3. Can a critique be positive? Discuss.
Yes it can depending on its overall points on negative and positive. The positive can be demonstrated through the analysis and conclusion which will sum up the ideas.
4. Critique the accuracy of the following articles:
The first article was about the Beijing Olympics which will be commencing. They talk about how the Chinese people are making holes identified through satellite images. The news readers claim that they will place branched and leaves on top of the hole and trap everyone. They say they have planned the attack for thousands of years. This information isn’t accurate by me looking at different sources and looking at google earth.
The second article is about a 2 year old donkey called up to Pro Donkey Basketball League. They talk about this donkey playing in front of many people in Basketball and is not ready mentally for this. They ckaim that a coach will change this donkey to like the audience. This information isn’t accurate by me looking at different sources especially as donkey basketball doesn’t exist or doesn’t exist in the media world.
Fibre optic technology offers many advantages when used in medical applications.
a. describe how optical fibre may be used in medical applications
You can do key hole surgery to see the body inside and is mainly done in surgery to see where doctors are operating. They are used in endoscopes.
b. identify the traditional medical techniques that optical fibres might replace
Optical fibres are increasingly being used instead of copper wire to transmit data and communications because they are thinner, cheaper, more durable and can carry more information.
c. Evaluate the benefits of fibre optic technology to medicine
The benefits of fibre optic technology to medicine is that images are transferred very fast, have a magnifying strength of 2000x and are cheaper to use and have.

You could find it on the Channel Nine website for more articles relating to this social justice issue.
1. Describe TWO things that you have learnt during this lesson.
I have learnt how to make a newspaper article twisting the story and what this tells me is that the media can make you try to believe things which may twist the truth. I also learnt how the media can copy things from other media sources and claim it as their own and risk going to court.
2. Identify TWO areas you want to concentrate on during this project that you think need a greater improvement from the last project.
I need to have better group communication and go through the Entry Document and Group Rubric as a group and make sure everyone has understood everything.
3. Discuss TWO ways in which your group could resolve any disputes during this process.
We can have a vote on things or clarify things with the teacher.
1. How well did your group work?
I believe we did very good.
2. Would you work with the same group of students again? Why?
I would because they did the work at a high standard and cooperated.
3. How much effort did you put into this project? What could you have done better?
I put a lot of effort and i was on task. I feel I couldn’t have done better although you can always have improvements
4. Do you think your final wikispace was your best work? Why?
I feel it wasn’t our best work because Sharad did the work in the last minute and Anthony didn’t place his individual task in our Wikispace.
5. What did you think of the project when you received it? Why?
I thought it was great because it was straightforward.
6. What do you think of the project now you have completed it? Why?
I thought it was good because it was straightforward.
7. What did you like in the project? Why?
I liked it because it was easy to complete.
8. What did you not like in the project? Why?
I didn’t have any dislikes of the project.
9. How can the teachers make your next project better?
The project was good as it is with no improvements needed.
1. Has your image of Jesus changed during the project? How or Why not?
My image of jesus has not changed because my views of Jesus have not been changed.
2. What do you feel is the best way to portray an image of Jesus and why?
Gather the qualities of Jesus, where he has been when being on Earth and what you think about Jesus and make a brainstorm. Gather ideas from this and research and collect pictures and do the artwork of the image of Jesus. This is the best way to portray Jesus because it involves fact and your own opinion giving a good way of making an image of Jesus.
3. What have you enjoyed about the project so far and what would you do differently?
I have enjoyed the project by having interaction with group members and co-operating to finish the work and all of the work is straightforward with no miscommunication. What I would do differently would be to write notes on how to create a caption. This is very vital and for students to find this information will be difficult and the information could be incorrect.
Investigate how Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered pulsars in 1967. Write a short account of this event. (5 lines)
Jocelyn Bell Burnell is an astrophysicist who, as a postgraduate student, discovered the first radio pulsars with her thesis advisor Antony Hewish, for which he won a Nobel Prize. For an account of the discovery of Pulsars please refer to http://www.bigear.org/vol1no1/burnell.htm. This accoutn was solely made by him after the discovery.
What do you think the Phoenix will find?
I think that the Phoneix will find how to use water on Mars and maybe some form of life in the ice caps. They may also find why Mars is how it is now. Scientist have said that Mars may have been like Earth with life until the climate became hot because of the Sun that expanded and started to burn Mars. We may actually prove the theory right or wrong with a new theory or the same theory.
Do you think as a planet we should be researching other planets? Why/ why not?
We should be researching about planets because we can benefit. If we have aliens they may try to conquer us. We may even benfit in technology and have a better life. Earth is a small planet and if we keep growing like we are now then we will need another planet. Also Earth is deriorating due to the lack of concern.
Any other comments.
If we learn about Mars then we may actually discover how to save Earth of get a vast amount of claen energy for Earth. Already scientist have discovered that moon rocks on t=our moon, Luna contains H30 with so much clean energy that the one moon rock can supply the whole earth for two years. Ufortunately scientists are still discovering how to fuse the rocks to use the energy.
1) What form of medium (music, art or literature ) allows you to best connect with Jesus and Why?
Music because I can remember the songs relating to Jesus which are sung in mass, etc. I can just here the song sung in my head.
2) Why has Jesus been portrayed in so many different ways throughout history?
Throughout history, Jesus has been represented in many different ways. Artists often rely on their cultural or religious backgrounds and current events to depict Jesus in a relevant way. Each representation of Jesus can give us an insight into the meaning of his life, death, and Resurrection.
3) How is Jesus portrayed at Parramatta Marist?
Jesus is portrayed at Parramatta Marist through Saint Marcellin Champagnat. He is who we look up to to follow Jesus’ path.
4) What artistic time period do you think best represents your image of Jesus and why?
The renaissance period would probably est fit the image of Jesus I have chosen because the strokes of the paint brush shoe the effect of the renaisance period and also the colour scheme is the most distinguised aspect of the painting which will easily give away the period the painting was painted.
5) Identify one image of Jesus that appeals to you. What do you like about the representation?
This represents Jesus as a gentle and caring God who is the light of this world as the light is shining on him.
6) What factors currently shape your image of Jesus and why.
The lighting used shows Jesus, the clothes he is wearing, the hair he has and the gentle looking face he has makes us indentify Jesus with his physical aspects.
