Venngage Poster - The Hunger Games

Here's how i've done my Venngage Poster for The Hunger Games, I hope this has some good explanations of this short clip we watched and With Peeta and Katniss, As Primrose got chosen her older sibling Katniss desided to volunteer as one of the tributes to save her little sister. These are the key points of the clip with a little explaining at each of these numbers on my Venngage

I Found interesting that Katniss had chosen to volunteer as tribute because as I was watching the clip seems like no one would of done that as Katniss did for her little sister.

I am learning to understand the parts of the clip that we are writing about, in detail and figure out what the most importants parts are

this work shows my learning by presenting a presentation of what im learning about in class with alot of things included in it

I am wondering what could happen in the next movie and how i could write a good SEXXY paragraph about what ive been doing and make it full of detail and very interesting for this Hunger Games we been working on

PREZI

https://prezi.com/view/wOwATAaxazy7dTuIEhmb/


What I learnt - I learnt about some of the land marks and learnt new things about why hagley park is or was so import and also why the botanic gardens was so important. Hagley park was so important because it used to be used for horse racing 

I found out that hagley park being important was very interesting as ive never known why it was important, and also i was wondering why the park was so big

3 - themes + ideas

Struggle for power - Currently the Capitol has power - president snow

  • 'Hope, its is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a little hope is dangerous!'
Fear - the people are afraid of rebelling because the last time they tried they failed, and they were punished with the hunger games.
Little hope - becoming a victor
dangerous hope - that the districts deserve to be treated better

Evolution

During this lockdown we have had to do learning from home, which can be a bit complicated. We can even learn more things well we are home. Here is the work ive completed for my science work



Why wouldn't the giraffes grow longer necks just because the trees were tall?

Individual life forms don't develop however irregular hereditary changes cause a few giraffes to be brought into the world with longer necks, allowing them the preferred opportunity at endurance over the giraffes with more limited necks. This all Sumarizes to saying how appropriate they are to their current circumstance, which means how well the animal (the giraffe for this situation) adjusts inside its environment.
What needs to happen in order for a gene to become more common?

Remember that Normal Choice occurs at the hereditary level if the very quality that exists in one organic entity will likewise exist in its family members which were referenced previously, this happens when it is passed down while duplicating. Irregular hereditary changes influencing the animals organic entities who convey it create and act uniquely in contrast to others with non-indistinguishable characteristics, coming about to make duplicates of the transformed quality being passed down(reproducing).
