philips pay is forward


Part 1
Pay it Forward is a movie that every grade 8 class had to watch. The movie was about a boy named Trevor who had to make a difference in the world. He decides that he should help three people and they help another three people and those other people help three other people and it goes on and on and the numbers add up quickly.So the main porpose of all this acts of kindness is that the grade 8's want to make a difference in our community and the world.

Part 2
My Pay it Forward act of kindness to help our community and the world was to pick up trash around my street. Alex, lance and I went around the dominion st. and picked up trash. We tried our best to pick as much as we could find, we had a little bit under half a bag,before we got back to my house.

I chose this activity because whenever I walk to school I alway noticed theirs trash on the grass or on the curb.I also did this because a clean community is a happy one.

I helped my community, my neighbours and also my family.

I walked around my street picking up trash.

I did this act of kindness on November 14, 2011


Part 3
I think it went well but it was so cold.

Nothing really we just picked up trash around my street

I felt good because I knew we were doing good in our community and it warmed my heart even though the rest of my body was cold.

I didnt see any people outside to react.

no.

I'm not really sure why I didnt tell the people ,I guess it Just slipped my mind.


Part 4

The idea of Pay it Forward is important to me because humanitys slipping from old times because before all neighbours knew eachother so its important to give reality a push to the good side and reconnect with good deeds.

yes, I think it did because as I said before a clean community is a happy one

My act of kindness has made difference because now the school is cleaner just like they wanted.

philip's Proportion Post

ratio:Comparitive value of two or more amount. Can be written as 3:4 or as a fraction

rate:A ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units eg

proportion:A part to whole comparison eg 3:4=9:12

5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72 mph

As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.You should increase it to 200(x4)

What are the three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are true?
3/4=12/16 diagonally (times top left to bottom right) vertically and horizontally

  1. Does this seem fair?Not at all.
  2. With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem just and fair?Not at all Why have you made this choice.Just look at the pictures, he frauded 3billion but only 3.5 years of prison and the other guy stole $100 but gave it back and surrenderd to police and got 15 years?!?!?Its crazy.
  3. What would you have done if you were the judge?I would have given him 62 hours of community service.
