Hunger games questions - Kwan


How does a speaker communicate so others will listen and understand the message?
Whenever you o a presentation, you should always prepare a script and talk it out.The moment you start talking, sometimes, people aren't paying attention to you. To get them to listen, you need to use some elements to get people engaged.
When the speaker is talking, they must use enthusiastic voice and an understandable tone. The speaker's voice must be loud and clear, speaking with eye contact with the audience. He/She should use literary devices in their speech to get the audience engaged and listening. The speech must be appropriate for the audiences' in each age level.
Pace is also very important. If you talk too fast, people might not understand. If the presenter talks very slow or forgot their script, the presentation might go on very long so you need to have a good pace in speaking and preparation

Hunger Games Question


 Which is the most important for survival, strength or will?

Survival: When you think of it, you may think of a zombie killer in an abandoned town or even a person in the jungle. No, survival is not just that. Survival is also a patient who healed from a disease or a person who successfully ran from a volcanic eruption. It's not someone who came from violence, its more someone who experienced something and did not lose the battle to their enemy.

Now what is most important for survival, strength, or will? I would say will. Will is knowing you can do it. Will is not giving up so easily. Will is knowing that you have the power and you can do IT. It is knowing you have the strength to do it and you must try. Strength is having the power. I know you are imagining a muscle man carrying something heavy, like that is strength, but will it covers all that. If we tried to put a strong person who is ready to do anything and a weak person, full of hope and determination out in the jungle, the strong person might be able to throw a rock high enough to get those coconuts. But the weak person, (that represents will) would try and try until they get the coconuts. You can have the power to get one coconut, but what if will helps you to get many? Trying harder and not giving up because you want the coconuts.

The Hunger Games could also be an example, like there maybe be a competitor who is strong, but what if they just know how to kill? How to live, then? There should also be a competitor who doesn't know how to give up. That is will. (Determination.) They will try to kill and kill until they get their shot.

 How do good writers express themselves?

Good writers express themselves by putting sensory details about the main characters that are n the story. They also put in writing strategies to attract that reader to the book such as cliff hanger and foreshadowing. These writing strategies will make the reader think about what is going to happen next in the story and will continue reading out of their curiosity. Most of the writers will put these writing strategies (Foreshadowing and Cliff Hanger) at the end of the book or the chapter because it will make the reader think about what is going to happen next and read on. A lot of people get bored by just reading books because there are no writing strategies to attract them. Writers will describe what the setting look like and the characteristics of the main character so that the reader will know what is going on. They also add in very descriptive words that will make the reader read on because they do not know the meaning of the words.


How do people recover from loss?

Our life, is like a slippery rope, it's unexpected, anything can happen, whether it's something good or bad. The world we live in, is not perfect, we're born and we die. Death is a thing that can't be stopped, life is something we can't stop, no matter how much we want things to stay the same, life is all about change, sometimes change is for the better, and sometimes its not. The only thing a person can ever really do is keep moving forward and never looking back. The word moving doesn't mean you forget about things, It means that you have to accept what happened and continue living. Sooner or later we’ve all got to let go.

The Hunger Game Essential Question ( Saranporn)


What truly defines a family?


Family doesn't have to only be the one who is biological relates to you. Family is a person who you always feel comfortable around them, you feel that you can talk to them about anything. You can trust them because you believe that they won't spoil it to your secrete anyone. Friend can also be part of your family. Family is not only your father , mother or your relatives. It can be anyone who you love and consider them as your family.

 Family is the group or person that you will never get bored of them. They can lighten your day up, they can make you smile and laugh , they give you advice. They will protect you no matter what you've done. They will always be on your side.They will support your decision that you've made. They care about you. Family is the true love that nothing can separate them apart.

Mue Hunger Games Question

Why should we care about power, politics, and government? We should care about it because the government rules us. If we do not care about the government, then we might choose a bad government and there might be lots of trouble in the future, for example, there might be lots of corruptions, or they might raise tax to be very high, making people in the country poor. 

The government will have the power to control the country and the people in the country once they win the election. So before they win the election they have no power to rule the country, which means that how the politics rule the country depends on if we choose the right government in the first place, and if we do not care about it, then we might end up choosing a bad government to rule us.

Today I'm going to answer a question which is "What does it mean to belong? Is it necessary to belong?". Some people may say that belong mean "a item or thing that have a owner" and some people have other definition for the word belong. But belong doesn't always mean that way. Being part of a activity or part of a group also consider that you're belong to it, but some times people like to stay and work alone which is not wrong. When you are in a group and get a good grade, you feel that you are one of the person that made the group to success. This feeling is belong and this is what it mean to belong.

Is it necessary to be belong? Well for me I don't think it necessary because as I said in the first paragraph, some people like to work alone and some don't. I feel that sometime it not necessary to be belong because, you won't always get to work as a group. Sometimes your boss or teacher assign you individual work, and if you hate working alone you will have a hard time. Another reason I think that it not necessary to be belong is that when you work as a group, your friend or partner doesn't help you causing you to get bad grade of bad quality work, and sometime you depend on them to much, which you shouldn't. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't depend on them but this is what I feel. It is not always necessary to be belong except for teamwork sport such as soccer, baseball and etc.

The Hunger Games Question ~ Hannah

Which is most important for a survivor, strength or will?

I think will is more important than strength when it comes to survival because for one strength cant last forever it will eventually fade away but will can. If you don't have will you cant survive because when you don't have the will to survive even if you do have strength but you don't have the will then you will die and there will be no point even if you have great amounts of strength.

Your strength is something that wont last forever it goes away with time when you are tired you have to wait but a will is something that can last forever it can go on for decades and even centuries.  Sometimes you feel hopeless and feel like your in despair but if your will is strong then it wont go away even if it does you can always get it back but f you looses your strength it will be very hard to get it back sometimes it is even impossible to do so.

What does it mean to belong? Is it necessary to belong? Louis

     You might consider that belongs mean you are actually placing yourself in a group of people or friends to be able to stay with but it's not just staying or hanging with friends. It will also reflect on your social health, where if you actually do not belong in any group of people, it might your social health might decrease. Social health is actually your status or conditions in the society, where different things might affect your overall social health. Some people might wonder, is it necessary to belong?

     To belong to something is a very important thing to be able to hold on because by having friends, parents or other people to help and deal with problems you are facing will decrease your stress. For example, if you are struggling with your grades at school you will be stress, therefore you should release the stress inside your body and by talking or expressing with words to other people will decrease your stress. Different people will also try to help with the problem you are facing, in this case you are struggling with bad grades, therefore your parents might be taking you for a tutor class or your friends might help you study. This will affect on your social health because if you actually belong to some place, you will be able to solve different problems that you are facing easier.

    This is why you it's necessary to belong to somewhere or something because you can't only have good physical and mental health, your overall health also includes social health. Then, you should be keeping your good social health continuously by many different ways such as belonging to somewhere. Not only that people can try to help you to solve different problems but they can also help you to decrease your stress. However, you should choose wisely that which society that you should be belonging to because if you belong to a bad society, it might make your social health worse.

B day Writing-Jett

How does the speaker communicate so others will listen and understand the message?

For a speaker to be able to communicate with other is to speak loudly clearly and fluently. If the speaker doesn't do this then it is hard for the audience to understand what the speaker is saying. The speaker should:
1) Communicate at a specific pace. So if the audience is old and can't hear that well then the speaker need to speak louder and clearer, same to children.
2) The speaker should not speak with for example um and yeah. Because that is not fluently and it make the audience harder to understand what the speaker is saying.
3) Make eye contact for the audience to be engaged. The speaker shouldn't be boring and just talk what he is suppose to do. Make the speech more fun to watch.

If the speaker does these four steps properly then they should bring the message clearly, loudly and fluently to the audience, passing the message of intelligence from people to someone else.

Hunger games Jo Essential question

            I chose the question "How do people recover from loss?". So first of all, we feel at loss when we failed or feeling like giving up, giving up on life and our dreams or even a death of someone important such as families or friends. It takes a while to recover from loss especially strong loss like the loss of family and the parting of friends and peers. At the first stage of loss, people would think about how far they have come before the loss and feel sad and be tainted with lost hope. People who is at loss will probably not socialise as often and grow weaker at mind. However, at a certain point after the loss people will start to get over them and move forward.

          In my opinion, when people get over loss they find the benefits from the event and try their best to move forward, others who never get over them could possibly commit suicide. Suppose a quick recovery might be failing a test or application to enter a certain school, some might think that they gave it their best and it doesn't matter any more, but some might fall into depression for a long period of time. If you happen to lose a family member, you would probably be really sad that you would get depressed for a really long time, it might even leave a scar but people will soon think that being sad about something like this is a waste of time and that person (who died) would probably won't want you to be depressed about their death and move on.

             I am probably one of the people who might be depressed for a period of time and I would take a decent amount of time to recover from loss.

Tab's Hunger Game Writing


 Which is the most important for survival, strength or will?


Both strength and will is important because without strength, you would not have the power to move on and survive. Without will, you wouldn't have the courage and the guts to do it. So to survive you need both. I think strength and will is similar in some ways. They both make you go forward, they both make you have faith in yourself.

Some people might say will but I disagree on that, because with will you are brave and unafraid and you want to go on and complete your task, but if you don't have strength with you, you would not be able to carry on and survive. Some people might all you need is strength and you are unstoppable, that is wrong. I believe that having strength makes you carry one and have the power to do things, but you would need to have will too because without will, you would not have the guts and courage to carry on.





Hunger game questions- Harry

One question I feel strong about is "Which is most important for survival, Strength or will?" I chose this question because it's a hard decision to make. Personally, I'll choose will over strength. Will is what motivates us, it's like our aim that we won't give up. We can do everything if we believe in our will and if we will achieve it or not, that's another story but we have to try for it. Strength does not always come into use but you can be confidence with the strength you have. Will is what comes from our heart, we are determined to do it, no matter how despair it seems. For example: My will is to be able to play golf, get good grades and have fun playing games. I enjoy all of these very much so I won't give up on my will so easily.

What truly defines Family?

What truly defines a family?

Family is defined by love. Love in what bring families together not their biological relationship. If you don't love in your family then you fight a lot and then you talk each others less. This our emotion that we don't recognize sometimes Love keeps us bonded together.


In our LA class we are kind of family. As we help each other when in need. We don't have love but we have friendship between which keeps us bonded together. Friendship is another name of love and this kind of love is between of us which makes us a family.

Dew- The Hunger Games Question





 Which is the most important for survival, strength or will?


Survive means to stay alive. Survival includes having an ability of strength and not feeling stress in any emergency situation. Survival will survive depends on the mind to always think positively. Strength and willing work together, without willing nothing will change. People need willing to do something too. But strength is the most important for survival and everyone needs to have whenever they are in any situations. 



 



Usually the mind of the people will automatically working faster to think of the way to survive and that's what willing is. Willing is to be prepared and ready without knowing at all. Sometimes people just needed to have enough strength for what they are facing. Strength is the key to access the willing. In a situation of not having strength might effect the mind working problem. If you don't have enough strength and got injured then the action of willing may decreases.
