Reflection On The 1981 Springbok Tour

Paragraph A First attempt

Hearing chants as a in unison was annoying, All the rugby fans wanted was just to watch the rugby team play the game. I had got taken out of school early to watch the Hamilton Game in the year of 1981.It was a cold day with strong winds. Clouds everywhere in sight with people stacked in every corner of my eye.

Paragraph A Second Attempt

Hearing chants as a in unison was humongously interrupting. All the rugby fans wanted to do was to watch the rugby teams play the game. I had got picked up from  school early to watch the Hamilton Game in the year of 1981.  It was a freezing day with howling winds. Clouds everywhere in eye view, with people stacked in every corner of the Hamilton Stadium.

Paragraph B Attempt 1

The game never went on the protesters got what they wanted and stop the Hamilton game, but if they had of let the game go on the would of been no head injuries and no can throwing towards the protesters. The stadium could of been much cleaner without cans all over the field.

Paragraph B Attempt 2

The game stopped the protesters got what they wanted and cancelled  the Hamilton game, but if they had of let the game go on the would of been no injuries at all and no can throwing towards the protesters n the rugby field. The stadium could of been much cleaner without cans all over the field.

Something to watch out for!!!! Is my writing clunky? Have I unnecessarily repeated words/phrases/names where a pronoun would do. Have I made some sentences too long when I could say the same thing more succinctly.

Springbok Tour ( As A Rugby Fan.

Hearing chants as a in unison was annoying, All the rugby fans wanted was just to watch the rugby team play the game. I had got taken out of school early to watch the Hamilton Game in the year of 1981.It was a cold day with strong winds. Clouds everywhere in sight with people stacked in every corner of my eye.

The protesters walked into the middle of the rugby field demanding the game to stop to try and get the chant they said in to our heads!. There were two different chants they said
1 " 1 2 3 4 we don't want no racist tour"
2 " Remember Soweto remember"
  
We were throwing cans at them to get off the field so the game could continue but they weren't budging. Outside of the stadium they were minor people with head injuries with blood dripping from their head but that's what happens if you want to fight the police and disobey them.

The game never went on the protesters got what they wanted and stop the Hamilton game, but if they had of let the game go on the would of been no head injuries and no can throwing towards the protesters. The stadium could of been much cleaner without can all over the field. 

1981 springbok Tour ( As a Protester

1981 the day of the springbok game in Hamilton. There was Grey clouds heavy winds with a crowd of thousands. I stood with my mother outside the Hamilton game waiting for us to protest for us to stand for the rights of the black people in South Africa.

Seeing the others with all the signs banners and poster were amazing, there was so many of us sticking up for the rights they deserved.Feeling nervous scared and anxious all at the same time was awkward.

Running out to the field with cans coming from all directions we stood there willing to protest even with can coming from all directions. Course language Foul Sayings with put downs that werent very nice

The crowd of protesters weren't just protesting for anything. We were protesting for south Africans as they couldn't vote over there.  There was also the reason to put pressure on the South  African government to stop apartheid. 

Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King

This week was the 50th anniversary for when Martin Luther King gave his speech " I Have A Dream!." The speech was given on the reasons of civil rights towards the black people, as many whites were so against the blacks. Black people and white people couldn't go to the same school or anything they had to be segregated. 

Martin was born on the 15 of January 1929. Growing up  his father Martin Luther King Sr. was a Minster. His mother was Alberta Williams King. Martin then had four kids and went on to be a Lawyer and an Activist to change America to get equality.

Through the coming years of Martin, America was Unbelievably Racist. On the bus if the white couldn't sit on a seat or had no seat the would tell the black people to get up and move, the blacks then had to get up and move to another seat or stand. Blacks and Whites had to use different toilets. Schools were segregated so there were Blacks and Whites school. Black people were in poverty while the whites were in Prosperity.

Martin fought and fought and finally got equality between the both Black and Whites. Blacks are still in poverty but there was a big change in the profits of black people. Blacks and whites can now got to school together toilets can be used by anyone, black people can also sit anywhere on the bus.

But in the end after all the trouble Martin went through, the bombing off his house and getting stabbed while working through his paper work for his job he died. He got assassinated by James early ray By a 30 calibre rifle and was pronounced dead at 7:05 April 5th 1968.


In Loving Memory Of Martin Luther King

Movie Reflection :D

Laita, Serenity, and Sislia from Team 5 PES on Vimeo.

Serenity Sisilia and Laita's movie was good. I was a bit tipsy on the message of they movie. Thinking about what the could of been about or what story it was trying to tell was as clear as it could of been. The one thing you could of really worked on was different angles and scenes also in different parts of the school not just the one place.Sound Quality was excellent and so was the steadiness but that was all. There was some emotion but no acting in the film, there was no interaction with the characters.

I think they could of put in some graphics and detail towards the movie to make it alot more interesting and more attracting to the audience. There was no scenes just one mid shot that lasted thought the whole movie,but overall it was nice that you sang it and i think it was fantastice! .

1. Message

Think about what the message was/should have been.

How well did the movie convey it?

2. Filming techniques

Angles/Shots

Steadiness/Use of tripod

Sound quality

3. Acting

Use of expression to convey different emotions

Convincing interaction between characters (if there is any)

4. Graphics

What is the quality? Are they detailed? Do they include detailed backgrounds

Have they been drawn not traced?

5. Animations

Are the animations realistic/smooth

Are they complex

6. Flow

Do the scenes progress logically? Does the movie connect well from one scene to the next?

7.  Key Competencies (For those analysing their own movie only)

How well did your group work together? Did everyone contribute effectively and do their share? Were you able to work through disagreements when they arose or did they become an issue?

Did you manage your time well? If not what do you need to do differently next time?
