Alj+Authentic+Learning+journey

= = =﻿ Our alj project this year involved some of these topics: = = Poverty = = This is a youtube video on poverty and the effects it can have on certain people. = = ﻿ = media type="youtube" key="JsTu-rIWQ_0?fs=1" height="385" width="480" T his video interested me while doin my project and that is what I have shared with you today. It talked about people who starve and that we should take action on these people more because people are suffering and it is not fair. When we learned about poverty we made big posters saying to help the people who starve and we found out a bit more about what happens to the body when no food or water is consumed. There were signs of malnutrition in a lot of the children and adults and their bodies would start to shut down and stop working. Because that was happening the body could not fight off germs because they had no strength to help hold them back.

They provide energy so we can have electricity to use which work lights and other neccessary electronic equipment to help us live. We were put into groups and we had to create a slideshow about windpower and how it works. Our slideshow was successful and it contained all the neccessary requirements: like how do wind generators work and how they help our world etc. Wind generators are extremely useful to us and they are extremely environmentally friendly in every way so I say keep making them!

﻿ This is a picture on windpower and how wind generators work.

Obesity and anorexia are big problems over the world. They continue to grow because some parents do not understand the method of healthy eating. In New Zealand this is a big problem and I am surprised at such a thing as we live in such a fresh and beautiful country.Try and make a difference!
