“The desert landscape is always at its best in the half-light of dawn or dusk. The sense of distance lacks: a ridge nearby can be a far-off mountain range, each small detail can take on the importance of a major variant on the countryside’s repetitious theme.”
The roasted brown trees blend with the green needles as the mist takes over,

The forest was tannin-brown. The grass was crispy under our feet. I looked up and the trees were skyscraper tall. Hares were scampering away from us up ahead. The morning stars were shining like silver snowflakes. Wood sorrel flecked the blanket of grass. We walked in and out of shady glades. The peace of the morning was soul soothing. The forest’s smell was fresh and organic. 

It reeked of age. Its woody incense was from centuries of snapping branches crashing to the forest’s floor and rotting silently. The composting, organic smell rose up in waves like a miasma. Every sprawling tree we passed under reminded me of a watchful guardian. Their knotted arms rose ever upwards, as far as my head could lift.

My passion project is community sports and we are holding a basketball 3v3 tournament in Hornby high school's new gym. I'm learning to work in a group cooperatively and am putting in ideas for our group project as well as the other members of the group. our subject is multisport and is becoming more organized as our communication is key.

I have learned that working in a group can progress more work at a better level. it also helps makes friends.

this helped me achieve a group proceeding and look forward to the event and achieve my set goals and task given at any hand

my next step is to continue working collaboratively and produce more work

my evidence is that we still have work to do as we are not yet at the business end of the project

this is the brainstorm we did as a group and have come up with a 3v3 basketball tournament.

first sentence: what am I learning?
I'm learning to work in a group cooperatively and am putting in ideas for our group project as well as the other members of the group. our subject is multisport and is becoming more organized as our communication is key.

Second sentence: who is in my group:
in my group is Rapture Iva, Arlan Perez, Danne and we are currently working on our threats and weaknesses on the event.

What is swot?
our strengths are we and put in good ideas and work collaboratively as an organized group and we have our categories down pat. our weaknesses are sometimes we are off task and are not productive on certain periods of time

Tomorrow when the war began

Tomorrow When the war began essay

John MArsden

I liked homer cause he was willing to do things that other people wouldn't dare to do he’s a Reptile, troublemaker, problem, slob, loud mouth, macho, wild, crazy, immature; Homer is all of those things. He is also; a leader, a thinker, a planner, as well as careful, innovative, caring, supportive, brave and indomitable This, reminds me of my brother as he is quite crazy at times but has improved to become more mature. Homer is Ellie's go-to guy, her brother-from-another-mother and is one of her oldest friends this is another reason why I like Homer because he’s loyal to his friends and would do anything for him.

Since Ellie's our leading character, it's safe to say that Homer's a pretty important character in Tomorrow, When the War Began, So if he plays an important role he would be an important character and he shows it by treating everyone the same and making good precise decisions Coming from a Greek background, I like to treat people the same so I get treated right back. Homer is forceful and domineering and has trouble dealing with other strong personalities. Before the invasion, Homer is a troublemaker with no directions in life.

No one takes him seriously, and he doesn’t let people think otherwise. As the war progresses, he becomes the natural leader of the group I'm sure most people love that that’s one of his good qualities, while a rivalry starts between him and the resourceful Ellie. His best friend is able to see him changing quickly, despite her denial. Besides that, no one else but Ellie can imagine Homer’s true lack of confidence and inferiority complex. I also lack confidence playing big teams. His arrogance is a shield he uses to avoid facing disappointments.

As Homer progresses to being the group leader, he is compared to what he was like 6 months ago. He has surely shocked his friends and family by the way he has strongly taken up the role of being the group leader

I also like to take the role of being a leader in rugby for my team-mates cause it feels good knowing they have someone to look up to. and I'm almost certain most people like homer by the way he looks after others and makes sure everything is safe At one point, Fi and Ellie are discussing Homer, and fi says:

"I don't know if I like him as much as he likes me, that's one thing. I'd hate to get into a relationship with him where he assumed I felt as strongly as he does. When in my opinion she already knew deep down she liked homer cause he was a changed man.

There was a quote in the book that really stood out that said “The biggest risk, is to take no risks” The book should really admire this quote because the book is based on war and if you don't risk anything then you will most likely fail to succeed This is why I take a lot of risks in my sports mainly rugby I someone get a runaway id have to risk the left side of the backline to stop a try and 90% percent of the time I do and it works this Is why this quote is important.

You can rotate the star and it will turn around.

It will be the same shape but it  

Just turned a little.

Intro:

what is a coordinate system:
A coordinate plane is an important tool for working with these equations. It is formed by a horizontal number line, called the x-axis, and a vertical number line, called the y-axis. The two axes intersect at a point called the origin.

dlo:In geometry, a coordinate system is a system which uses one or more numbers, or coordinates. To uniquely determine the position of the points or other geometric elements on a manifold such as Euclidean space.

To locate (2,5), move 2 units to the right on the x-axis and 5 units up on the y-axis. The order in which you write x- and y-coordinates in an ordered pair which is very important. The x-coordinate always comes first, followed by the y-coordinate.

There are two main types of grid reference: four-figure grid reference, such as '19 45', indicates a 1 km by 1 km square on themap; and. six-figure grid reference, such as '192 454', indicates a 100 m by 100 m square on the map.

An easy way to remember this is that to get the first number, you go along the corridor (horizontal, x axis, east) and then up the stairs (vertical, y axis). For example, the number 2 in the diagram below is square 19 across and square 45 up and therefore, the four-figure grid reference is '1945'.


Four-figure grid references can be used to pinpoint a location to within a square measuring 1 sq km. To find the number of the square: Start at the left-hand side of the map and go east until you get to the east crossing through the bottom-left-hand corner of the square you want. Write this number down.

a column separator or row separator, Grid lines are the light grey lines that divide each of the cells, rows, and columns in a spreadsheet.



4 Figure Grid References. A four figure grid reference points you towards a particular square on a map. On all OS maps these squares represent one square kilometre. A four figure grid reference will point you to the bottom left hand corner of that particular grid square.
