Group+5

Day 1. Today we chose our topic and team leader for transition week project. Our chosen leader was Mase, and together we picked poverty as our topic. Our main focus is worldly based poverty, Live Aid and what can we do to make a difference.How we affect their lives and what we can do to provide or aid them to have a sustainable and the essential resources for healthy living. Focus then becomes what can we do to change the lives of others in other countries for the better? Make sure it is not just "Poverty" or "World Poverty", but that focus gets narrowed. Ensure all team members record thoughts, ideas and progress here on your page. Looking forward to more! Mrs L Day 2. Different members went to different workshops, we all learnt different skills and we've decided to use the media called movie maker. In Period 1 and 2 Mesake attended leader ship, Raymond attended podcasting ,Maria attended advance research and Elizabeth attended photoshop. Then after these courses we gathered back together to contribute and share each others ideas and information.

For Period 3 and 4 we repeated this process but attended a variety of different courses. These were Movie maker, Advanced power point , web page , and photoshop. We then gathered together again and decided to choose Movie Maker.

We chose to focus on the great difference between wealthy people and those who live in poverty. perhaps show how a life of a poor person look like and then compare it to the life of an Australian average person. Our group decided to do eveything together. Bessi will be the creative one, Ray is collecting photos, Mase is working with technology and Maria is doing ressearch and written text. We wanna show that poverty isnt just something on the news or whatever far away but it's happening here in australia as well as around the world and it is up to us to make a difference and do something to help those people. Yes we might not be able to fix this problem over night but we can together raise awareness because we have the knowledge and resources to do so. Tomorrow, we're going to bring costums and crops to act out the play about a day of a poor child. Day 3. Today we were really enthusiastic to try and complete as much work as we could. I Mesake Taufa Sorted out what everyone was going to accomplish in this day. Raymond,me,maria,celine and besi went out and took real photos of me wearing raggy clothes and pretending to act poor.We wanted to show how people in poverty go to sleep,eat ,make money ,and live everyday life this is to show the difference bettween an average australian's life compared to a homless person's life.
 * act out the play, take photos, then upload them on the computer
 * start research about poverty
 * collect pictures and music
 * put together the movie maker video clip, comparing lives of poor and rich

Once we had finished taking our photos, we finally uploaded the images onto our movie. the reason we had decided to take images rather than using images of google was because we wanted to hav a different/ unique piece of work compared to others. During todays lesson,we had completed almost more than half of our movie. Whilst in class, we also completed two drafts. Still to be completed is adding on our music into our movie. Given having 3 periods tomorrow, this will give our group the chance to finalise our project.

Day 4. Today we have three periods to finish our project. We used the first period to add in the finishing touches and make it look pretty. Then for the second period we prepared the speech for our project which is based on the theme 'Delany making a difference'. We're planning to practice for the presentation in period 4 and 5.
