Current Events

This is my DLO on a current event. The current event this time is about how American track runner Abbey D'Agostino was tripped and twisted her ankle and how the New Zealand track runner Nikki Hamblin helped her up and put her arm around her shoulder until they crossed the finish line. This a great example of the Olympic spirit of sportsmanship by helping others and will teach everybody who sees that picture what you are supposed to do when you see something like that happen.

This is my DLO on the current event where Ed Sheeran is being taken to a court in America after the singer/songwriter Matt Cardle accused him of copying his song Amazing to make his song Photograph.

Exploring Both Points of View

This is Sebastian's and my DLO on the points of views of a bus driver and his boss. We learnt that bias means one point of view and provocation is when you cause strong feelings in someone. We learnt that you had to hear out both sides of an argument before you made a decision on who was right and who was wrong and this is called an informed choice.

Current Events: Auckland Bus drivers go on strike

This is Latham's and my DLO on the Auckland bus drivers strike that happened on the 19th of February at 4am to the 20th of February at 4am. For one part we had to write down the opinions of the bus drivers and the opinions of the bus users and say why they felt that way. We got our information from http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/76913982/Auckland-bus-strike-what-you-need-to-know and we came to the conclusion that the author wanted us top know that when people are unhappy with their working conditions or their pay then they will do something to get the public's attention and to make a change.
