Tuberculosis || Health

In Health, we were set a task that required us to do research for a topic that we are interested in and we are to choose a topic that we want to expand our learning or know more about it. Our set success criteria were to meet all 4 success criteria; linked the answer to the key concepts, answered all questions, described strategies that will improve outcome in my chosen topic and present our finished work. The topic I chose was an illness, to be more specific I chose to do research about Tuberculosis. This topic is very interesting for me as this illness is more common in developing countries like in Asia and Africa. Then I had to pick which level I am comfortable to work on. The levels are rookie, pro and legend. For me, I choose to work at the pro level because I think I can do the task. The level that I pick also indicates a colour that represents the types of questions that I am going to answer.

After I pick a topic, first I have to choose 5 questions that I want to answer that match the level that I picked. Once I have the 5 questions I did my research to answer my own questions. After answering all of the questions, I also thought about my 3 strategies or ways to improve and manage my chosen health issue. From there I planned on how I am going to present my research, I choose to create a pamphlet or leaflet, I choose to present my work like this since my topic is about illness and pamphlets are usually in a clinic or anything related to health.

This is my planning sheet.

This the pamphlet that I made

Overall, I am really proud of my work and I am happy with how it looks like. If I were to do this again I would like to print the pamphlet that I made.

Unfair Trade on Chocolate Industry: Hauora

 In ESOL, we have been learning about the dark side of the chocolate industry. As we look further on the topic, we have found several problems inside the chocolate industry. We also discover a big issue on the cocoa farm, we have found out that there are children working in the cocoa farms. The children that are working on the cocoa farm are most likely to be kidnapped or trafficked. Surprisingly, some known chocolate factories like Nestle use children in the cocoa plantation.

For this task, we are asked to think about the effect of unfair trade on a community's or individual wellbeing/Hauora.

Climate Change

 How do bushfire start and how has climate change made them more common?
Bushfire is usually started by human actions but sometimes it starts from the heat come from a lightning strike that strikes the dry plant or when a rock falls on the other rock and scratches it will start a spark.
Climate change made bushfire more common because the temperature becomes hotter and dryer and this gives a higher chance to start a bushfire.
