English Writing Prompt

Chapter 22 - Amari
I pause for a moment, aghast at the number of them filling the narrow path. Before today, I caught only glimpses of the labourers brought in to staff the palace—always pleasant, clean, groomed to Mother’s satisfaction. Like Binta, I thought they lived simple lives, safe within the palace walls. I never considered where they came from, where else they might have ended up,
“Skies…” It’s almost too hard to bear the sight. Mostly diviners, the labourers outnumber the villagers by hordes, dressed in nothing but tattered rags. Their dark skin blisters under the scorching sun, marred by the dirt and sand seemingly burned into their beings. Each is hardly more than a walking skeleton.
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is: My wondering is why they go somewhere, where no one normally is and there are a lot of people there.

Business Studies Work

 In Business Studies we have split into groups to work on a project, the project is to make a product and sell it on market day.

Group: Matthew, Subhnesh, Dylan and me (Cole).

Our product is called Fortnite N Drinks. Our idea is to bring a console into school with controllers, chargers and games. We will also bring drinks for the people that are playing. We will give each person around twenty minutes for a turn unless they die.  

We sent out a survey to people at our school to see who would play.

Questions on Survey:

Do you like Fortnite? 52.6% Yes, 10.5% No and 36.8% Maybe.

Will you play Fortnite at school? 55% Yes, 45% No

How much will you pay to play Fortnite? 92.9% $2.50, 7.1% $4.00

Do you think your good at Fortnite? 38.9% Yes, 38.9% Maybe, 22.2% No

 Chapter 13 - Zélie

  I turn back toward Amari and try to let it go. But in her eyes, I see her brother’s. I feel his hands choking me.
“I want to trust her—”
“No, you don’t.”
“Well, even if I did, I can’t. Her father ordered the Raid. Her brother burned down our village. What makes you think she’s any different?”
This could be compared to / A message I take from this scene is that they start to feel sorry for Amari because of whats happened in her life.

Home Economics Jam Drops

This week in Home Economics we cooked Jam Drops. 

Ingredients: Flour, Sugar, Eggs, Jam, Vanilla Essence.

1. First we preheated the oven to 180 degrees fan bake.

2. Then we made the mixture and rolled them up into little balls.

3. After that we pushed our thumb into the little balls.

4. Finally we put them in the oven for about 15 minutes.

When they came out of the oven we put them on the heating rack and waited for them to cool down before we gave them a taste test.
