Debating - Phones in class

Debating - Phones in class

On Thursday 25th of July in literacy, we did a debate about if we should allow students at school to have phones in class while working or if we should have them at school but in a box hidden in the teacher's office. I was on the team about no phones in class. We won, here is a reflection on what happened.

Reflection on Debate

Both teams did pretty well but overall my team won. But I would have chosen to be on the other team hers why:

1. The teachers can just block the games, texting and social media on their phones

2. If students need to take photos of their work it will be easier than using their device to take the photos

3. Also, you can download all the school sites on your phone

4. Plus it's easier to carry around, you can just carry them around in your pocket

But then I also think that you shouldn't have phones in class here are my reasons why:

1. Phones are just a distraction in class if the teachers don't think about blocking sites like games and social media

2. Students would probably sneakily do things on them that they shouldn't

3. They can disturb other students who are trying to work

That's what I think. Please give me a comment if you think you should have phones in class or not. Thank you for reading.

Wearable Arts - Plastic Art

Hi everyone, last night (Thursday) we had a wearable art fashion show. It was really fun to do. My group was CariDee, Jayde, Tamzin and Me. We made a dress, the base was a trash bag, then on the bodice, we painted it blue then painted a turtle on which was eating plastic. We also had a bit of rope that went around the waist. On the shoulder we made a piece of coral out of newspaper, then we connected bread tags to make a neckless. On the bottom, we had plastic straws (200 of them) then on the back of it we had plastic bags. The model was CariDee, and the speaker was Tamzin, then Jayde and Me were the main designers.
The items we used were:
Bread Tags, Newspaper, A Trash Bag, Plastic Bags, Plastic Cups and Plastic Straws.
Here is a picture of the front of the dress:

See you next term! :)
