Speeches / Why people should have more screen time?


Why people should have more screen time?



Greetings all, my name is Nyjah. We can all agree that mainly everyone has a passionate liking for screen time. Right? Well! Some people believe that screen time is bad for development but I disagree. Today, I will be possibly changing your mind about that as many people around the world has succeeded online.

Recently the last fortnite championship tournament took place on Sunday at the National Tennis Centre in New York. 16 year old Kyle Giersdorf (Bugha) won the solo competition against 99 other players! He earned 3 million dollars and many admires the skills he has. This all connects to the internet (online).

People around the world can express their talent through the internet such as entertainment, beauty, art, gaming, cooking and more. People on the internet that we know of today started small and grew in population due to their skills that is being shared online. Many groups of people at any age can be inspired to try something new because of the internet.

Large amounts of communities online help and support different kinds of real life events such as the LGBTQ community, art community, cultural communities and much more which is free and here to anyone around the world.

So much has been expressed and shared throughout the internet and this is why I think screen time helps people teach others, share skills and much more!



LI: To write a speech that persuade others to think the way you do.

This week students in Panmure Bridge School presented individual speeches to their classes so other students and teachers could vote on who would move on to the school competition in the hall. On Tuesday Mele, Jack and Marieta had the most votes and moved on to the school competition. Mele placed first, Jack second and Marieta third. Although, my speech was about why people should get more screen time. Lots of people around the world has succeeded online, started careers and earned money just by being on the internet.

The story of the dawn raid and the Polynesian Panthers



For the past week in reading, Rakino group has been reading a text that all revolves around the story of the dawn raids and the Polynesian Panthers. If you did not know the Dawn Raids were evacuation protocols which involved the police going to Polynesian homes and forcing them to show their passports that stated whether they were allowed to live in the country. If demands were not met, they were locked up and later kicked out of the country. Our challenge was to read the text and answer questions. With this new found knowledge we needed to create a DLO that showed both perspectives of the issue.
