What CST and IST grade what you allocate yourself for this project? Justify your response. I think I will allocate myself a B because I think I am doing work but I am not working hard enough.
What could you do tonight that would improve your grade? What I can do, I can start fixing up all the things that I need to do for the rest of this project.
What grade do you think your team will give you for teamwork? Why? I reccomend a B because we all work together on the project but we don’t work hard enough.
Thinking about your presentation on Monday, what do you need to do to score an “A” grade? (hint: Look at the presentation skills). What could you do before Monday, to ensure you receive an “A”?

Need to only use palm cards, use eye contact to the audience and answer the questions correctly.

What influences your values about issues relating to your life?

The media can change the value of my life because the way that the media present it, it can change your thought on things.

Do you ever compare images/values presented by the media to those of the bible? If so why? If not why not?

Sometimes because some things that are in the media are true but other thing in the media are false and have no meaning to what they are saying.

Has this project challenged you to examine your values? Why / Why not

1. Describe TWO things that you have learnt during this lesson.

I have learnt what optical illusion is about.

2. Outline THREE things you know about optical technologies.

An optical illusion is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality.
The information gathered by the eye is processed and the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source.
There are three main types of illusion – literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological illusions that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type – brightness, tilt, color, movement, and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences.

3. Identify ONE aspect of the project you feel uncomfortable about and really need to know. Explain the BEST way this could be resolved.

REAL STORY

It’s on … Billy Slater and Jason Nightingale clash on Monday night.

IRATE Dragons coach Nathan Brown yesterday launched an extraordinary outburst against the Melbourne Storm as his winger Jason Nightingale described last Monday night’s attack on him by Billy Slater as “a dog act”.

Brown, incensed by Slater’s defence of his striking charge at the NRL judiciary, said his side would be prepared to use illegal violence against Melbourne if the teams met in the finals.

Slater successfully had his charge for hitting Nightingale with a flurry of punches downgraded on Wednesday night after claiming he was provoked because he was headbutted.

But an angry Brown yesterday blamed the subsequent all-in brawl on the Storm’s illegal wrestling techniques and predicted a “bloodbath” if the NRL continued to ignore the tactics.

“It should be open slather, an eye for an eye,” Brown said. “I just pray we get another go at them. The people in charge should make it a free-for-all.

“If (the Storm) want to use the grapple and hit all the other pressure points, that’s fine. But if they get whacked, they shouldn’t whinge.

“I’ll be telling my boys to give them a whack. If they go down, I’ll be telling them to whack them again when they get up.”

Nightingale yesterday denied headbutting Slater and accused the Storm fullback of throwing punches while two Storm players held him.

I think that the entry document for ethnic and media is, that we are given information or we have to research the information on the internet and then we have to put the information that we have found in our own word and then present it to the class in our groups that we are give.
