Things T Could Go

Things T could do....

Personal: since T likes basketball he could go out and play basketball, get his mind off of all the things that are stressing him out.

Interpersonal: He could talk with Jack or maybe try and open up with his mum?

Societal: Go talk to counsellors or teachers, etc. Find help within the community.  

Recap Science = Tech Class

We had our first science class today! We got to know each other and as this was an online class we didn't have much to do. 

Online classes make tech quite difficult to do. After introducing ourselves to our new teacher we went on the science site. Completed a short list of questions and had a quiz! 

I really enjoyed the quiz part, I learnt/re learnt things and I'm looking forward to next weeks tech class! 

We ended it off like any other online class, and that was the end of lesson 1! :D

Why do people protest?

Why do people protest?

What do you think of when the word ‘protest’ comes up? For hundreds of years New Zealand have had multiple protests trying to bring awareness to their movement. Some have succeeded and others haven’t. Some may be for rights, fairness, to fix a problem, etc.

What is a protest?

There are many ways to protest, a march, petition, a meeting, strike, rally, etc. A protest can be a way to complain or to bring awareness to a problem, protests have been around for a very long time, for example in New Zealand it has been a few hundred years since protests have taken place.

What causes a protest?

Protests usually take place when people feel as if there has been injustice or unfairness. It can also be made when the public disagrees with changes that the government caused. Many start a protest when they have a problem they would like to share with the public.

Do protests work?

Some do, some don’t. It takes both sides of people to make a compromise, if the protest can get known and really large like the BLM protest that is going on right now changes would most likely be made. It’s not a certainty that the protest the people started will work but it doesn’t hurt to try!

Protests have been a thing for a long time and some of them actually helped make a difference to the present! So, what do you now know about protests?
