Passion Project: Planning of events

Today, we are continuing on planning for our Passion projects. We have changed our target to student football tournament with the Year 7 and 8 because they're too many groups that are doing basketball. So far, we have emailed Mr.Hilliard for permission to use the gym. We’ve presented in front of the project group to explain what our project is about.

Our next step is to get an equipment list to have the right equipment for our tournament. We need this because we can't play football if we don't have the right gear.

Tomorrow When The War Began- Chapter 9

Why, in Ellie’s opinion, is Cobbler’s Bay and Wirrawee so important to the invaders?
ANSWER: Maybe that is one of their tactics.

Corrie and Ellie reminisce about how innocent they were in high school and even a few days ago. Why were they still innocent then?

Why do you think the author added the few lines about an Australian jet flying overhead.
ANSWER: The author added this so that it could have more information or detail that war is happening. War is not a war if the invaded country doesn't do anything.

By blowing up Corrie’s house, what does the invading force demonstrate to the teenagers?
ANSWER: They showed that they can do anything, even harm anyone, who does not obey them.

Why do you think Corrie reacted the way she did?

Lathe Introduction

A lathe is a tool that rotates the workpiece axis the rotation so this can perform the various operations like a cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, facing, and turning with the tools that can be applied to the workpiece to create an object.


This is the picture of a Lathe:

This is how you set up the Lathe:

• Gather all the material and tools for the setup.
• Slide the live centre in the headstock and the dead centre in the tailstock.
•  Put a guide bar in between the two centres.
• Put the dial indicator on the stand.
• Put the stand on the carriage.
• Apply pressure towards the bar with the dial indicator.
• Once applied pressure, move the carriage along the bar. (The gauge should not move, and if it didn't move, it is balanced.)
• Slide the chuck on the head and turn the screw clockwise on the head until it's tight.
• Turn the chuck by hand to check that everything is snug.
• Put the tool bit on the tool post.
• Align the tool with the dead centre.

• You're done!

Tomorrow When The War Began- Chapter Seven (Group Work)

Wirrawee from the Bush?

ANSWER: I will try to test the radio because maybe we can contact someone and they can maybe help us.

Do you think the way the teenagers reacted to the realisation that Australia may have been invaded or at war was realistic? Why/why not
ANSWER: The way that the teenagers reacted to the situation is not that realistic. There are different kinds of examples like how the invaders attacked Australia.

Ellie claims that ‘Hell’ is only a label and that people label things all the time, often ignoring or overlooking certain labelled places or things. She then comes to the conclusion that ‘Hell was people’. Is she right? What’s your opinion, on labelling and Hell?
ANSWER: When she said that 'Hell was people' it is a yes and no because what people do to have a negative effect on the world but not all people do bad stuff.

Fi brushes off the planes coming back from Commemoration Day. Why do you think the planes were flying over Wirrawee?

What picture of Kevin do we get in this chapter?
ANSWER: Kevin is annoying.

What does Ellie liken Fi to? Do you think this is a fair assessment of her character? Use examples from the text to support your thinking
