 Le Top du Top

Quand on recharge les technologies dans la nuit, et quand on se réveillait les technologies n’ont pas rechargé.

As-tu des temps quand tu recharges tes technologies pendant la nuit puis, tu rêves et ça n’est pas chargé?! Ugh, c’est très frustrant, car j’ai besoin de la technologie complètement chargée pour toute la journée à l’école. Si mon appareil n’est pas chargé, je ne peux pas utiliser et si je ne peux pas utiliser, je ne peux pas faire le travail de l’école et si je ne peux pas faire le travail de l’école, j’échouerais l’école et si j’ai raté, je ne peux pas aller à l‘université et si je ne peux pas aller à l‘université, je ne peux pas avoir une bonne carrière et si je ne peux pas avoir une bonne carrière, je n’aurai pas beaucoup d’argent et si je n’aurai pas beaucoup d’argent, je ne pourrai pas me permettre beaucoup de choses et si je ne pourrai pas me permettre beaucoup de choses, je vais mourir de faim et si je meurs de faim, boom, la fin. Il y a beaucoup de possibilités qui peuvent arriver et ils ne seront pas bons.

 

Gender Inequality Article

Posted on by

What is the article about?  Who does it involve?   Why did you choose this article?  How does this news article relate to the story we are reading- The Friday Everything Changed?

The article that I chose is about a female who experienced gender inequality while growing up. Her name is Dame Stephanie, who was born in Vera Buchthal in the German city of Dortmund in 1933. Dame Stephanie excelled in school, mostly in mathematics. Since she was very good at math, she went to a local boys’ school for math lessons because girls learned things at a lower level than the boys did. Dame Stephanie also wanted to go to a university to study more math, but that course wasn’t available for women. Therefore, she started to work at the Post Office Research Station (PORS) in 1951. At that time, she had changed her name to Stephanie. Stephanie enjoyed working, and at work, she also fell in love with her future husband named Derek Shirley, and she was ground down by gender inequality of all time. Stephanie’s boss didn’t put her up for promotion because she was a female. This article can relate to the story we are reading, The Friday Everything Changed, because Alma Niles and the other girls cannot go for the water bucket because people assumed that girls were “weak.” In this article about Stephanie’s gender inequality experience, Stephanie wasn’t allowed to put up for promotion because she was a female who was “weak.” Long story short, they both experience gender inequality.

Questions of The Friday Everything Changed

Posted on by

1. Why are the boys so upset at the idea of the girls carrying the water bucket?

The boys are upset at the idea of the girls carrying the water bucket because the boys knew that as their thing, which proves the other people that they are manly.

2. What strategies do the boys used to pressure the girls to give in? How did the girls react?

The boys pressured the girls by throwing paper notes that read threatening messages at them, targeting them, beating them up, etc.

3. Who is telling the story? What do you think of Ms. Ralston in the conflicts over the water? From what point of view of the story told?

The narrator of the story is the one telling the story. I think that Ms. Ralston was 40 percent on the boys side and 60 percent on the girls side, since she is also a female. Also, i would consider this as a first person or third person perspective.

4. What is the setting (provide evidence). What kind of conflict is it? Provide evidence for each conflict.

The physical setting is in a school that is located in the cold area. The emotional setting of the story would be intense and tension. The evidence for the physical setting is that the classroom seemed to have a furnace/stove in their class which tells us that the school is located in a cold area. The setting intensifies the conflict, for it is in a school and it is with students, but if it was with adults (for example), the story would have been a bit different. The conflict that I consider for this story is character vs society because Alma Niles, the character, is trying to make the society be more equal with genders. The evidence is that the boys carry the water bucket because people assume that boys would be more stronger than girls.

5. Who is the protagonist? How do you know?

In this story, Alma would be the protagonist because she is the one who first asked the question, why girls cant carry the water bucket, and she never gave up on carrying the water bucket. She went through a lot, starting from boys targeting her to boys beating her up. She technically is the hero of the story and she fixed the inequality of her school.

6. In what way has everything changed on that Friday? What is the significance of Ms. Ralston’s actions in the last paragraph? what is the message (theme) the author is exploring?

On Friday, the teacher changed the inequality of the class/school which was that the boys would only carry the water bucket and miss 30 minutes of school, and the girls weren’t allowed because they were too “weak.” The significance of Ms. Ralston’s actions in the last paragraph is that in the story, it says, “She swept her hand over the top of her desk and tiny dust motes danced in the slanting sun.” and that represents to us that the past (dust) and have a fresh new start by treating every gender equally. The theme of this story is that every gender should have equal rights, opportunities, and be treated the same.

Digital Footprint

1) How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities? Give at least two examples.

Digital footprints can help people know more about you, such as knowing if you are appropriate or not, and how helpful you are to the community. This can come handy when people are deciding to deny or accept your request for a job like a teacher, or when you request to attend to a certain school such as university, collage, or some high schools. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t have a digital footprint, it means that you should be more cautious with what you post. For example, if you post about you and your friends doing inappropriate things, when people look up your digital footprint, they would choose someone who has positive information such as volunteering on their digital footprint over someone who has negative information.

2) Describe at least three strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe.

The first strategy to keep your digital footprint appropriate and safe is to post yourself volunteering (for example) and pictures of your passions or your hobbies. You can keep your digital footprints safe by not posting your personal information, such as your address. Also, if you keep your social media accounts private, you can decide to accept certain people who want to see your account and not much information would be leaked out to the world. Another way to keep your digital foot print is to keep your edublog possitive and post school work and not pictures of you and your friends, since your edublog is not a platform like Instagram or Facebook.

3) What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them? (My device didn’t let me make the question bold)

First, I would ask the other students to look up their full name. Then, I would tell them that it is best to post safe and appropriate stuff on any platform, whether it’s on Instagram or the Edublog since everything we post would be put on our record and not only their post is put on their record, but so are the things your parents post about you such as baby pictures that they’ve posted on Facebook or ultrasounds. Another thing I’d tell other people around me is that in the future when they’re applying for a job or school, people can look you up and see what type of person you are.
