Holden´s excited travel writing
Exciting things to do in New York
Due to some probably extremely interesting situations that might have happened to me, my usually very pessimistic self has gotten very excited to write about all the amazing things one can do in the city of New York. The First reason why I would recommend any traveling person to come try out New York is because we have the world´s most famous center park, central park and you should at least spend half a day to explore it, with lots of beautiful scenery and interesting activities to do.
And its not just the park, there are many other interesting activities and places to visit for absolutely free! Such as waking through the Brooklyn bridge or taking a ferry. When talking about foods, you there are three Ps you should definitely look for: Pizza, Pretzels and Pastrami. These are three specialty-foods that you can find pretty much all around the city that you should definitely try here.
As a note to people who don´t want to spend too much, instead of buying pastrami in famous places such as Katz´s delicatessen you can get something just as good for half the price at Eisenberg´s Sandwich, don´t make the same mistake I did !

semester 2 week 1 summary
Before this week I already knew about modernism in music.
What I learned after this week was about the mordenism in architecture.
This week we made oral presentations about modernism in different aspects.
We also did a group work taking quotes out of the book to explain different things about modernism in the book The cactcher in the rye. After that we did group works making a crossword about vocabulary on modernism in literature. We also read a few chapters of the book The catcher in th rye.

the catcher in the ryze letter to jane activity
Dear Jane, I guess...
Sorry ´bout that not really sure how to write these, specially after it´s been so long. So hows everything been? do you still stack all your kings at the back?
I haven´t ben doing all that great myself actually I just got the axe hereat pencey... What a bunch of phonies, this school is nothing like the phamphlets show it to be.
Did anything happen between you and stradlater? I hate that bastard always puting on a sexy guy act... he´s just another phony. Just so you know he´s really not the kinda guy you wana be with, like seriously!
Not long, he asked me to write an english composition for him. After spending all my afternoon on it that bastard just threwit away! Normally I would´t mind but I was just so inspired on that one specifically, it was about my brother the one who died... specifically though it was abou his base ball mitt.
Anyways that Stradlater guy is a real phony just warnin ya... yaknow wouldn´t wan him doin any weird thing to yuo, specially knowing that guy...
Sometimes I wonder if what I´ve done is rght... the only reason I´m flunking everything is just ´cause I don´t put any effort into writing countless papers for all these phony bastards. But still every now and then I start to wonder if I should actually put some effort into it.
I normally don´t like writing for alot of people I mostly write for my own amusement.
Well ya know... I´m mostly free for now and got nothing to do so if ya wana hang out or something hit me up I´m always around the school grounds, or atleast for now.
sory if the letter is going on for too long I just am realy no god for these things or what I should say on a letter, I´m better at speakin face to face.
Now I´m not reall sureif you write these on letters but anyways here I leave you a TL;DR hey what´s up long time no see, maybe write a letter back telling me ´bout how you been, oh yeah I got expelled let´s hang out soon!

Blog entry the catcher in the rye
Chapter 1: How does the narrator feel?
The narrator feels confused, disgusted at the school´s system, and very tired of everything. Evidence of this can be seen throughout the chapter in how he´s always complaining about somehing of the school or how ¨the headmaster is phony¨. He´s also out of energy because of the pain that is getting expelled from schools all the time. He acts in a very laid back manner, trying to show he doesn´t care, but thats typical of teenage boys when they actually do care.
Chapter 2: What does the conversation bewteen Holden and Mr. Spencer symbolise?
The conversation they have is basically Mr. Spencer lecturing Holden, and its very important because Mr. Spencer is like every other single adult or authority in the book. In which he shows him as disgusting and never understands what the kid actuall feels, and it shows us his response to the way Mr. Spencer acts, by responding in a very laid back way not actually caring what the teacher says. He says he just gives him the ¨old bull¨ which is basically giving him the same excuse he uses every time.

Detailed explanation of the techniques used in the creation of our interactive poster.
In our glogster, we tried to incorporate all the techniques
we learned in school. Although we didin’t use all of them we got most of them. We
went for the logic and the emotional approach, pathos and logos. We make them
understand that if they join our academy, they are actually doing good because
they are donating to charity, and if you are donating to hungry kids in Africa
then that means you’re a good person right? We used testimonials from famous
people, such as Ocelote, we used the following quote:” I´m glad I can now
support my home with money just by streaming and going to tournaments.I want to
thank the academy for helping me raise my ELO”
And lastly, we used shock advertising, which is shown in how
we showed a video of the african kids, and a gamer going to see them, and
showed how they were so underfed.
# description of advertising campaign
Our campaign is of utmost importance to the Mackay
community, the games are often under appreciated by teachers as a method to
teach values to kids. Through games you are forced to learn how to work
cohesively with a team, and to respect them as equals, or else they won't try
to help you when you're in need. Our target audience, is off course the whole
Mackay community, everyone from play group up to 4th medio. Through this
campaign what we hope to achieve, is more people joining our academy that we
started. To advertise and get this academy known we used pamphlets, glogsters
and even radio commercials! We had a three-part campaign, in which we first
started by making pamphlets, after this we proceeded to make glogsters, which
are online interactive posters, and to finish it off we made a radio commercial.
This was the description of our advertising campaign.
