Are Students Addicted To Their Cell Phones

Are Students Addicted To Their Cell Phones

At times yes they are at times, no they aren't. Some students may or may not have a phone, this makes it a bit hard to be addicted to your cell phone if you don't have one. Some students are addicted to their phones because hardly anyone will pay any attention to them or they have nothing else to to or are waiting for someone to reply to their text. Some researchers have researched about this and about 70% out of 100 teenagers said they know that they use their cell phones to much and want to stop but since they are so addicted to their cell phones they can't. These couple of examples show that most of teenagers use their cell phones a bit too much.

Technology evolution.

Technology Paragraph

Technology has changed how people act and do things. Improvement of technology allows life for us become a lot more easy for us to contact each other and work together. The improvement of cell phones can make us contact a person we need to or if we are bored we can look something up to watch/read. The making of computers made us allow to gather information form easy sites and docs we also can kill time with games or watching someone play games. We used to watch T.V in our heads and use our imagination, but now we can watch shows on a screen. The first car ever made was a Ford GT T, this car was slow and loud, now the cars can reach a speed up to 300kph+ in races and super cars. These four examples shows how technology has changed our lives and created a heap more leisure time and more hobbies to work on.

2. Describe at least one way that a character or individual changed in the text. Explain how this change was important to the text as a whole
Brainstorm:
Katniss
- Emotionally and physically stronger
- More powerful and popular- everyone knows who she is now
- Beginning- caring for her sister, shy, quiet, strength in hunting/archery, shows caring and selfless when she volunteer for Prim in the reaping, values family
- Middle- when she enters the games- determined, cautious- runs away and hides, smart, doesn't kill unless she has too, still see she is caring and looks after others, doesn't want to use her skills to hunt others, she watches people die- her reaction is big, forms an alliance with Peeta which makes them favorites and her popular in the Capitol because she was going to end the games with no victor, intimidating,

theme linked to-
Hope & rebellion- starts by following the Capitols rules but by the end she stops and rebels against them.
rich vs poor- not a good choice
propaganda- she goes against the propaganda of the Capitol they are fighting for glory, the capitol- they are fighting for glory, the capitol is superior, the games are a good thing
struggle for power- in the games she was powerless, eventuality she gains power over time

Thesis Statement:
In Gary Ross's film, The hunger games, one way that Katniss changed was by gaining power and influence in the Capitol. this is shown through he struggles with the themes of hope and rebellion

Paragraph 1- Describe her at beginning

Scipad

Aim: To make a metal oxide and observe the difference in properties of the products compared to the reactants
Method: 1. Light your Bunsen Burner
              2. Hold your piece of magnesium in the scissor tongs. Ensure you are holding onto the very                       tip of the magnesium
              3.place the other end of the magnesium into the Bunsen flame (at the top of the blue flame)
              4. When Magnesium begins to burn, do not look directly at it, as the light emitted can                                  permanently damage your eyes

Observation: a bright light was presented

Discussion: The Magnesium when we put it in the fire it would burn the magnesium and turn it into magnesium oxide, this would make an bright light

conclusion: it worked because it made a bright light
