Je pense que mon section de le project était bien, j'ai écrit l'introduction était créative. J'avais prèparé pour les deux sections dans advance et la presentation était présanté en temps. Une chose que je voudrier fait differant était de ajoutez plus photos pour les sections.

Apologies, Please?

To all Australians who don't believe they need to apologize to the aboriginals;
How would you feel if a completely different culture and ethnic group came into your land and forced you to be like them? You would probably feel like the aboriginals. Now, this was a while ago and the damage is done, however, the best you can do to help them is say sorry and maybe even give them some money to help rebuild their own homes. Imagine what it was like for the mothers, having their children taken away to a foreign place where those people have killed your people. It would feel horrible and like something was torn away from you. For these mothers it would be the greatest gift in the world if they could reconnect with their children again, even just once. Many people believe they should let go of the past as it is too horrible to look at, and I believe that is untrue. When the children taken away tried to run away to be with someone, they would be punished brutally, can someone be that inhumane to do that? Remember, it is never too late to apologize.

A Hero-Molly

In 'The Rabbit Proof Fence' Molly is the protagonist who demonstrates a lot of courage. She is desperately trying to save herself, Gracie and Daisy from becoming 'British'. If you look at the definition of hero it says that a hero is someone who has courage and has a certain quality to them. When you look at Molly you can immediately tell that she is special and different from everyone else. Molly got was brave enough to leave the camp place as soon as possible and she is smart enough to fool the tracker momentarily. Usually in a movie, the hero is someone who possesses an ability that comes in handy, from the beginning you can see the Molly is a very good tracker. She finds the lizard before everyone else, and later when they are escaping, she uses Daisy's bag to try and sidetrack the tracker. With all of these qualities it is clear why Molly is a hero to her family, others and herself.

Learning Profile: Logic Dominant

One day in Humanities, we learned all about how our brains function and what profile we are. I am a profile H which is logical dominant. Our brains are connected by the left side and the right side of the brain. For me personally, all of my body parts like my eyes, arms and ears are dominant on my left side. My legs are the only part of my body that is dominant on the right side. This can be helpful for me to cross logic and gestalt as most of them are on one side.

I found out that I learn best when it is quiet and I'm alone, I process better internally without external sensory. Sitting where I can work quietly and where I'm allowed to doodle or play with clay would benefit my learning also. When in a large group, I learn best when I am sitting where my left ear is facing the teacher. Personally, when the classroom is very loud it is difficult for me to concentrate, even if someone is tapping their pencil it is difficult.

Sometimes I need to move my hands or tap on a pencil to help process information or organize myself. When writing and/or feeling excited my right leg moves up and down fast and jerky.

To help my learning skills I would need a balance of art, music and freeform movement. I am already playing piano a lot which has helped me create new ideas for humanities and science. When I am relaxed I am emotionally and physically expressive and feel confident in what I am saying, however, when I am stressed it is very difficult for me to do that. When I need to communicate massaging the Mandibular Joint. An activity that would help would be blinking while tracking and hand work like knitting.

The thing I would like my teachers to know is that when under stress is difficult for me to see the details, listen and communicate well. Sometimes I think to much and get lost in the discussion so I won't really know what the people around me are talking about. This class on learning profiles was very interesting for me as I found out what helps me.

Task D-The Renaissance Man

Leonardo da Vinci was a true renaissance man for he was not only an expert in art but he was an inventor and a scientist. At a young age he was supplied with the knowledge of painting and was said to be so good, his master vowed never to pain again. Leonardo's most famous painting 'The Mona Lisa' is by far showing that he is the renaissance. However, even if Leonardo was more famous for his works of art he was also a great scientist and inventor. When da Vinci was in Milan the Duke had him build buildings, weapons and machinery. He studied nature, things that fly, geometry, canals and many other things. It was once said he had even drawn a flying machine but never built it. Even, during his old age with paralysis he would teach and draw, proving that Leonardo was a true Renaissance Man.

Brunelleschi's Masterpiece

Fillipo Brunelleschi had a lot of creative leadership but he hadn't gotten the chance at using all that leadership until a contest came up to finish building, what is now known as, the Cathederal of Florence. His leadership changed the way people in the Renaissance believed in what was crazy and what wasn't. When the dome was finally starting to go somewhere, the builders where to afraid to put any more bricks on because it was getting very steep. Brunelleschi took all of his creative leadership and started placing the bricks himself, proving to everyone that the building would not collapse on itself. Another reason that Brunelleschi's creative leadership changed the world, is when he first got the commission to build the magnificent dome. When no one believed his method would work, he took hold of the situation and said there would be a way to prove it. Stand an egg on itself. No one could figure it out but Brunelleschi crushed the egg a bit and the egg stood up.
The decision to make Brunelleschi to build the coveted Cathedral of Florence had changed the way the people during that time thought. No longer did people think there was only one way to draw or that buildings can be only made this way or that there might be something out there than just us. His action and the way to build the dome made people all over Europe gasp in amazement and as Florence became the most flourished city in all of Europe, everyone started getting ideas and trading new ways to construct something. Brunelleschi's creation had changed the world, for the better.

New Ideas

New ideas are hard to form, but when we are deep in history, how were these ideas formed? An example of a new idea that changed the world is the theory that the earth is round. Before someone had a small thought that the earth is round, everyone thought the earth was flat and you could fall off the edges. This idea might've been formed because the person who thought of this was just plain thinking. Maybe his imagination said that what if the world was round? What would life be like? And the idea just formed from there. Other ideas of how to form new ideas is taking another idea and thinking of a modified version of it, many theories have been reformed with new ideas. Guessing has taken a big part in finding new ideas, maybe electricity would not have been invented if Thomas Jefferson hadn't guessed about lightning. A part of guessing is trusting your instincts, as new ideas are hard to share if people do not believe in them. However, to me, imagination is the best way to explore new ideas.
