Metal Work (How To Make A Metal Drill Gauge)

For the last term in metal work we have been working on a metal drill gauge. On this drill gauge there are the measurements 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.8, 8 and 10. We also have to put at the end of it a peace that you could use to unscrew screws with it which is why we had to dip it into carbon so that it<br />
would not brake.

Social Study's Matariki

1 What went well and why? It went well because we got a lot of helpful information that gives a lot of reasons why the queens birthday should be replaced with matariki and why matariki should be a public holiday in NZ.

2 What didn’t go so well and why? After we wrote down and answered all of the questions we still had a lot of spare spaces which is why we drew the stars.

3 If you were to do this again what would you do differently and why? Take more time doing it and not as much on the research because at the end we were in a rush because we took to much time researching than actually doing the work.

Unwind Questions Part 4 (Destination)

1. This section opens with Lev in a pawnbroker's. What does this tell you about how his character is changing? He is not brain washed anymore and he is starting to get more aggressive so that he can survive.
2. While being transported to possible safety, some of the kids on the run wonder, "Would it be better to die or be unwound?" If given the choice, which would you choose? Why? This response requires more than one or two sentences! Put forward at least three reasons why you think what you do. I woudl rather die then be unwound because for the first reaons it just feels weird to know that all of your body parts would go to other people. Another reaons is because you can die at any age usally from old age but if you get unwwound you die between 14 and 18.
3. Another question the kids in the book discuss is, "If every part of you is still alive but inside someone else, are you alive or are you dead?" They also wonder if consciousness can exist even if it's spread out, and if the soul remains intact. What do you think? Read Thomas Hobbes' Ship of Theseus puzzle to help you make a decision. Be sure to reference it in your answer!http://metaphysicist.com/puzzles/ship_theseus/ I do not think that you are still alive because in my opinion to be alive you need to have all of your organs together and you need to have a heart and brain. But when your body parts are in someone else they are not really connected to you anymore.  
4. This section of the novel sees Lev and Cy-Fi finally make it to Joplin. As they get closer, Cy-Fi's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. What are some of the things he does, or things he likes, that are not his own behaviours or memories? He likes anything that is shiny and if he sees something shiny he will take it. this is because of the part of his brain that he was given so this tells me that the brain he got must of stolen stuff.
5. What was Cy-Ty hiding in his backyard? Pg 185-194 He was hiding in his backyard because he was not sure if his parents were going to just hand him in or if they were going to be nice to him and let him stay with them. 
6. The section ends with Cy-Ty reaching his destination. What do you think of his parents' behaviour? What does Lev's support show you about his character? Its shows that lev is changing a lot ever since pastor Dan told him that he does not want him to get unwound. He has became a lot more aggressive and we were shown that when he was threatening the parents to tell Cy-Ty that they would not unwind him.
