Assignment #26 where children sleep and eat.

Assignment 26

The ideal home life in my country is going to be diffrent in diffrent places within my country. There is going to be a rich district in the middle where there is high class living and big bedrooms with toys and games and T.V's. The middle class district will have smaller rooms with less toys, and the poor district will have ahrdly any toys and no T.V's. The diffrent crops grown in my country will vary from fruits like apples and pears to vegetables like carrots and cucumber. There is plenty of fresh soil on the outskirts of my country where diffrent settlements have set up and lived off of the crops. My families food consumption in a week would contain lots and lots of water with little juice and milk. There would also be large amounts of fruit and vegetables because the families mostly do hard labour and need to keep healthy. There would be a medium amount of meat intake because there is need of protein. Also some extra beverages like liqour or wine for the adults. Some national dishes include springrolls and rice, and the favorite foods are rice,springrolls, and egg rolls.


Patrick, 11, lives with his parents inside a rich part of the country. His bedroom is full of every toy you could think of, many he doesnt even use. Also there is a HD T.V in his room where there is all the shows he would need to watch. He has a big closet filled with everything from pants to jackets to shoes. When patrick goes to school, there is no dress code and he is free to wear what he wants. Patricks favorite foods are springrolls and homeade poutine. When patrick is older he plans to be a house designer for the middle class district of his country. Right now Patrick is interested in many diffrent things including sports like soccer and football, and he also is a big collector of coins and rare items.

Assignment 22

A: definition of globalization: globalization is economic,cultural,and political,systems of a diffrent country that is integrated through the means of trade,investment or communication.

B:i think that the way to find the "average" face of places would be to get lots of people photo's or pictures, and then load them on the computer and stack them and the face that comes out while all the pictures are stacked would potentially be the average face as long as you have the majority of the faces.

C:the things that found interesting are,
In many if not all of the countries all of the people were similar between girls and boys when you mixed the faces together.
A lot of the people if you mixed together they were not black or white, depending on how much of which you would most likely get a milatto colour.
There is soo many diffrent people and even when you mix so many diffrent faces you still coming up with the same looking kind of people.
I did expect that most of the guys and girls would look the same when you did the face of tommorow objective, and i didnt expect that when you made your face of tommorow there was similarities between the person who made it and the face that was made.

D:average
1. My first reason for this being the average face is because i think the migration will cause a range of diffrent immigrants to move everywhere.
2. I think that economical globalization will effect immigration rate and the average faces of many countriues will change due to immigration from other countries.
3.I also think another factor is the growing birth rate of diffrent countries. It will make bigger families want to move to more developed places and poor families to live in poverty areas, causing diffreces in population and the average face.

Blogging reflection.

What are two things you are most proud of on your blog?
1. I am most proud of my Canada and China assignment because i think taht it represents Canadas features and China's.. I also think it is a good assignment that i workwed hard on and thought through.
2. I am second most proud of my Island man project because it was one of the first assignments i did and thats when i first realised i really enjoyd blogging and i learned lots of new things.

Why would you recommend blogging to other students?
I i would definitly recommend this to other students because its a great and easier way to elarn and teach. It is also way easier to work and you never have to worry about losing your homework. With me that was a problem and with online learning it really helped me get organized.

Assignment #23 Canada and China

Assignment 23

Compare 3 pieces of information from Canada to China and write a sentence reflecting what this means.

Canada birth rate:10.28 people.
China birth rate:12.29/1000 people.
 this calculation of Canadas and Chinas birth rates shows that Chinas population is growing 2.29 kids faster than canada. This means that China has a larger population.



Canada population:34,130,589
China population: 1,336,718,015
China's population shows that it has the most people in any country. This tells me that China must have high birth rate and a lower death rate. And some factors are there are already more people soo if its 12 births per 1000 people there is over a billion people in china where in canada there is a lower birth rate and less people.


Canada medain age:41
China median age:35.5
The median age of China is lower than canada i think because even though China is a developed country i dont think it has the health care as canada and i think that china has more kids in the middle age then in the old or new age where as china probablyhas lots of children and lots of elderly people.

Assignment 25 : my childhood memories

Childhood memory 1. When I first went to the docks when i was 7 years old, we had a huge family picnic and me and my cousin played at the park and went swimming for over 6 hours before our parents made us go home.



Childhood memory 2. When i was 5 years old i first went to the store without my parents and me and my cousin bought over 40 dollars of food even though we were supposed to only spend 20 dollars. We bought a lot of junk food and we ate it all with all of mine and his freinds because we couldnt eat all of it alone.



Childhood memory 3. My favorite toy i used was when i was 4 years old i got my bike, I played outside on my bike for over 3 hours a day because i would always be with my freinds racing around or just using it to go look at other people in diffrent places. My bike was all red and it was passed down to me from my brother even though i didnt use it that much when it was first given to me.



Childhood memory 4. My 2nd favorite toy i used was my Nintendo 64 in which i played every game that was ins tyle like donkey kong and street fighters etc. I played this game system every day with my older brothers and sisters, although we hated sharing the system because we all wanted to play so much we ended up finding equal times to play while the other people are busy.



Childhood memory 5. One of my favorite book series were the goosbumps books because i loved scary books and they interested me.



Childhood memory 6. One of my favorite books was a book about a kid who has a dream about going to a land of monsters and finds out that him being king isnt all what he thought it would be, this land he could do anything without any parents and then when he wanted to go home the monsters wouldnt let him and he got scared without his family so he woke up.



Childhood memory 7. Another item I used a lot was a dump truck that i put sand in at the park and rode around and brought it everywhere with me.



Childhood memory 8. The Godzilla puppet that me and my cousin scared people with because we acted  like it was real and all the kids got scared. It was grey and black and had huge spines and a big mouth.



Childhood memory 9.  Playing the oldest game boy, i played mario for the first time on the game boy and i played it for over 2 weeks straight because i was addicted to it.



Childhood memory 10. My favorite toy was my streo because i used to listen to so much music and blast it every day but I broke it by pouring water on it by accident and i wasw sad for over 3 weeks.

Blog assignment 24

If i was going to vote on may 2nd for priminister of Canada, I would vote for NDP and their party leader Jack layton. I think that Jack layton would do the best job as the priminister of canada because he not only promises to give money to well deserving canadian families, but to also make more suppotive jobs. He also doesnt promise so much that it wont happen, he promises enough to make sure that what he is saying, he can do and he does not say more than what he can do. For example he says "we will reduce small buisness tax from 11 percent to 9 percent". Now even thiough that is not that much, it makes a big diffrence in long term effects. He also says he will help the Investement canada act by " reducing the threshold for investment subject to review to $100 million". He also said he would continue canada's commitment to balance the federal budget in 4 years, as per the department of finance projections.

history fair reflection:4 3 2 1

4: The four most important things you learned while researching this topic.
 The four most important things i learned while researching CPR migration was,
1:that immigration after the CPR was made it peaked about 10 years later instead of directly after it was made.
2: That Chinese immigrants often spent there money on trying to stay in Canada but did not get payed enough while working on the railroad to stay in Canada.
3:The migration to Canada peaked in 1910 with over 100,000 people immigrating to  Canada.
4:The CP(company who created CPR) also set up hotels along stops of the Canadian Pacific Railway so that tourists would be tempted to start living in Canada.

3:Things you felt proud of during the fair
Three things i felt proud of during the fair are,
1:All the judges that saw me said i have an excellent connection to my topic.
2:My poster was appealing to some judges.
3:I felt that my poster was good and that my speech was good.

2:Two specific researching or presentation techniques that were helpful to make your project so wonderful.
Two specific researching or presentation techniques that were helpful to making my project so wonderful are,
1:Researching the website CPR our history helped my presentation because it gave me the most information about my topic.
2:A presentation technique that helped me was to give eye contact to people so they didn't think i was boring and dull they thought i was trying to talk to them so they didn't want to leave.

1:One suggestion to make the History Fair even better in the future.
One suggestion i have for future history fairs ishave different judges and more judges because not everybodies poster got viewed as much as others and i think that there should be more planning time on the topics of your project.
