Climate in Canada – West Coast
Paragraph:
Climate change effects in the West Coast
Climate change has been a huge impact all over Canada such as temperature and higher sea levels. Due to Climate change, we commonly get extreme weather events causing stress to other people in the community. Climate change will increasingly have huge impacts on our environment, communities and even social well being. As the climate increasingly changes, all of the animals, plants or any wildlife will be affected.
Climate change causes in the West Coast
One of the biggest causes of climate change is due to us, our human activity. What I mean is that people have been burning all the fossil fuels which is increasingly getting worse. This means that they are making carbon dioxide. They have also changed many areas of land such as forests to farmland. Another cause that has a huge impact on the environment is food waste because it creates methane which impacts the atmosphere. Otherwise wasting food is effecting and polluting the environment.

Double exposure poem
Paragraph:
The poem written by Amy Lowell is about a woman’s neighbour who loves playing music with his flute. During the day the author describes him eating with one hand and copying music with the other. She doesn’t like looking at him because is he bald and fat but, she loves listening to the sound of his flute during the night. Examples of figurative language in the poem is when she said “the flute-notes push against my ears and lips” and “the round notes flutter and tap about the room.” These examples represent personification because she is describing flute-notes pushing against her ears and tap about the room even though it does not literally. This image represents the poem because while she is in her bed, she admires her neighbours flute even though he is bald and fat. I think the main message of this overall poem was accepting others for who they are since she does not like his appearance but enjoys his sound of his flute.
The two images used in the image:
Blackout Lyric Poem
You’ve got to be kidding me,
The bouncer said,
Folding his arms across his massive chest
He looked at a boy with a red zip-up jacket
And he made him shake his head like a tennis racket
Fifty teenagers in line outside the pandemonium club
Were secretly listening too like sneaky snubs
The all-ages club was a long wait
Very much so on a Sunday
The bouncers would become fierce
And will come down instantly on anyone
When they see people
Who would look like
They were going to start any trouble
A fifteen-year-old Clary Fray,
Was standing in line with her best friend, Simon,
We’re hoping for some excitement

English-9-Poem-comic-assignment
Introduction: The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
He’d a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.
Inciting incident:
“One kiss, my bonny sweetheart, I’m after a prize to-night,
But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light;
Rising Action:
A red-coat troop came marching—
Marching—marching—
King George’s men came marching, up to the old inn-door.
Climax:
But they gagged his daughter, and bound her, to the foot of her narrow bed.
Falling Action:
Tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot, in the distance? Were they deaf that they did not hear?
The highwayman came riding—
Riding—riding—
Conclusion:
Her musket shattered the moonlight,
Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him—with her death.
When they shot him down on the highway,
Down like a dog on the highway,
And he lay in his blood on the highway, with a bunch of lace at his throat.

Modelling Mitosis
Interphase:
Description of the photo: This phase is the longest cell cycle stage. It has chromatin in the nucleus and carries out normal functions. The cell membrane, the nucleus and nucleolus are intact.
Late stage of Interphase:
Description of photo: This is the stage where The DNA is copied during the interphase. This image demonstrates the replicated DNA molecules joining together to form sister chromatids.
Early Prophase:
Description of the photo: This is the stage where spindle fibres begin forming and the nucleolus begins to disappear to allow the nucleus to start dividing. This is preparing for the division of chromosomes.
Late Prophase:
Description of photo: This is the stage where spindle fibres begin to attach to centromeres of chromosomes in preparation of organizing them. Chromosomes also become more condensed at this stage, and the nucleolus completely disappears.
Metaphase:
Description of photo: This is the stage where the chromatids attach to the spindle fibres at the centromere and line up in the center of the cell to be ready to divide the cell. One half of the cell and the other half has 46 chromosomes.
Anaphase:
Description of the photo: This is the stage where the spindle fibres are pulling apart the sister chromatids. The end of this phase, this stage is where we have 46 daughter chromosomes on each side of the cell.
Telophase:
Description of photo: The is the stage where the cell pinches off in the center, forming two daughter cells.
Cytokenesis:
Description of the photo: This is the stage where the Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear in each new cell and the chromosomes fades into chromatin.
Edible DNA
What DNA is?
DNA is a abbreviation which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA looks like a twisted ladder (two strands wrap around each other in a spiral shape.
What DNA does?
DNA is the molecule that has the master set of instructions for how cells function, what they will produce, and when they will die.
How it copies itself?
The replication of DNA occurs in 3 ways, the opening of the double helix and departure of the DNA strands, the preparation of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment.
