Grammar Video Project -Subjects and Predicates

Nathan on

Subject is the object or person that is described in a sentence. Predicate is the action or doing of the subject in a sentence. For example when a subject is travelling somewhere these are often used. Simple Subjects are less descriptive words used to describe the subject. Complete Subjects are when the subject has more detail about it. Simple Predicates are less descriptive words used to describe actions. Examples: run, walk, fly. Complete Predicates are when you use more descriptive words to replace the boring/simple action words. Examples: Sprint, marched, glided. We enjoyed doing this project because we learned actually learned a bit more ourselves about subjects and predicates. We hope we learn many more different grammar rules from everyone else’s videos.

Gender Inequality Article

Nathan on

Women making less money than men in B.C.

1) What is this article about?

The article I chose is about how women make less money than men doing the same job around B.C. This article shows that 35% of women in B.C make less money than men for doing the exact same job as another person.

2) Who does it involve?

This article involves men and women. Also involves a B.C woman that spoke up for all women making less money than they’re suppose to.

3) Why did you choose this article?

I chose this article because it shows a very good example on how people treat different genders differently and shows how big the difference is.

4) How does this article relate to the story we are reading- The Friday Everything Changed?

This article relates to the story because it shows that women do not have as equal rights as boys do. Boys/Men are always the first to go to when you need a “harder” job to be done but girls could do the same if you asked them. For example, in the story, Ms. Ralston, the teacher, always asked the boys to get water for the water bucket because she thought the girls were incapable of doing this and that it was more of a “boy’s” job than a girl’s. In B.C this article says that women make $3,044 less income than other women across Canada. Which seems unfair because some of these jobs are the exact same thing but in different areas. Why do the same exact  job as someone else but get paid less? It doesn’t make sense. This article and story can relate because it shows that when women do something it doesn’t get enough credit versus when a man does something, of course, this isn’t always in all situations but in most. They also relate because it proves that nothing would be changed unless someone spoke up which has happened in both the article and story.

The Friday Everything Changed Questions

Nathan on

The Friday Everything Changed

  • 1)  The boys are so upset that the girls can carry the water bucket because now there is a decreased chance the boys will be able to get water.
  • 2) Their strategy is to not let the girls play baseball anymore. Alma’s cousin talks to Alma and says it is not fun anyways.
  • 3) Alma’s seat mate is the one telling the story. She always agrees with what Alma says and would stick up for Alma. The girls like Ms. Ralston’s clothes because they are nice. This story is told from a first-person view.
  • 4) The story takes place in a school after war. The conflict is Person vs Person. The boys and girls argue over who gets to carry the water. It is also Person vs. Society, girls are showing that they can do the same things boys can do.
  • 5) The protagonist is Alma. She is the protagonist because she made the argument about why girls can’t carry the water bucket.
  • 6) Everything changed on Friday because girls can now carry the water bucket and it shows gender equality and that girls can do the same as boys.
