Self assesment

Work Habits:
I think my work habits are improving, I'm on task most of the time but i have to work on getting my post done faster and to get more information in them. In our class we sit in tables in groups of six i sit with Anji, Andrea, Fuko, Naheed and Heather. We all try to help each other by suggesting ideas that could improve our posts. Excellent

Communication
My blogging skills: I think my paraphrasing is getting a lot better, because my friends have helped with some of the paragraphs and sentences. Although I still think I need to add more information to my paragraphs. These are some of my posts that i think are pretty good. Meeting expectations

Thinking
My thinking skills are getting better from paraphrasing and thinking about the idea or topic i am writing about and by using the textbook and asking my friends and teacher.I ask questions in our classroom regularly by interrogating and considering how things could be different. Meeting expectations

Research
For researching i usually check out different websites and ask my friends for information and to check out other peoples blogs on our class blog. In class we also watch videos and documanteries to help us find information. Excellent

Is there a better way for Alberta?

The real culprit's
 Our Premier has been telling Albertan's to ''look in the mirror'', which started a social media uproar. Mr. Prentice, I think Albertan's are telling you something else, you need to stop blaming OPEC, or public-sector workers. #PrenticeBlamesAlbertans. The real culprit has to be the government.

Scape Goats
Why do Albertan's have to fix the problem the government made. And the Nurses, Doctors, teachers, students, elders etc get laid off or don't go to college or don't have money. Why do the people have to suffer because of the governments stupid decisions, such as cutting irresponsible tax and royalty cuts, laying off public-sector workers or not paying enough for them, or not making enough schools.

The better way for Alberta
Better Way Alberta

• Bring back Progressive Income Tax
• Cut MLAs salary by 10%
• Stop cutting pay from the vulnerable
• Increase royalty rates
• Increase taxes on Corporations
• Sales tax
• Saving's tax

Listen to this interview , Dave Beninger a college student called Jim prentice and told him a couple of things that the government Should Do and what the government Shouldn't Do.


I hope you think real hard about who you are voting for in this upcoming election.

Government Priorities

My opinion on Genia Leskiws's interview.

My opinion on the video on Genia Leskiw was that she didn't really answer the question for why the government voted down to request to restore funding for child death investigations. In the video, she kept saying ''they haven't sharpened their pencils'' , and she kept moving around and not answering the questions to fullest content. Overall she made a fool of her self (don't sue me).

A group of MLAs from many different committees turned down an offer from Child Youth Advocate to put down a $275,000 cut in Del Graff's budget. The reason why Del Graff turned down the offer because they needed the money to pay for 5 new staff members who will investigate the deaths of children who are in the governments care.


What are my thoughts about how the government make priorities?

My thoughts about the government rebuilding the Kananakis golf course for $18 million dollars are that if the government can pay to rebuild the golf course why cant they just put that on hold and give $275,000 for the child death investigations.

Why Do We Wear Pink Today?

The history of Pink Day

We wear pink on February 25th because in 2007 a grade nine boy a pink shirt to school and he was bullied for that. Two boys David Shepherd, Travis Price, and their friends decided to stand up for the grade nine boy and wear a pink shirt. The two boys who argued against the bullying that the people did to him handed out pink shirts to every boy in the school.


Awareness ----------------------------------> Action

Awareness- Being aware of what is happening
Action- Doing something about it

Although someone could be aware of what is happening they don't do something about it.


The Bully, Bullied, Bystander.

The bully's or bully is the one who is trying to intimidate someone.
The bullied the victim or victims
The bystander the people who are watching and most likely wont do anything.

You will most likely be one of these three people. Lots of  people will end up being bystanders and watch this happen,but they actually have to do some thing about it. It shouldn't matter if the victim is your friend, a peer ,a stranger or someone you might dislike you need to help them.And sometimes people will break. If this is happening to you, please tell someone. If you are doing this why? has this person done something to you? Or do you think that it is cool that everyone is doing this and you have to.

Bully's have no power over you.
Bullied you have power and sometimes someone has to help you find that power
Bystanders you need to help.

.


This is an example of the three characters in bullying.

Silence is assent.
When you are silent you are showing permission to let the bully, bully you or bully someone else.

To This Day
To This Day is a great representation of someone being bullied, and what goes on in their head.
This video is very emotional and i suggest watching it because it will move you.
