We Day

On Wednesday , November 23 , 2011 me and 40 other grade 8 students and also some teachers went to We day at the MTS center. We all left at 8:30 am and took the transit there and back. We got back at around 2:00 pm.

Some of the speakers at We Day included Rick Hanson , Spencer West , Mia Farrow , Craig and Mark Kielburger , Al Gore , Hannah Taylor and MANY more !!

Some performers were Hedley, Down With Webster, Shawn Desman and some others.

Janessa's Pay it Forward

^{"You see, I do something real good for three people. And then when they ask how}

they can pay it back, I say they have to Pay It Forward...to three more people. Each. So, nine people get helped. Then those people have to do twenty-seven." He turned on the calculator, punched in a few numbers. "Then it sort of spreads out, see, to eighty-one, then two hundred forty-three, then seven hundred twenty-nine, then two thousand, one hundred eighty-seven. See how big it gets?" - Trevor

1. Pay it forward is when you do an act of kindness with nothing in return.
In the movie Trevor's teacher gave the class an assignment to pay it forward. A boy named Trevor bought home a homeless man and took care of him. After Trevor thought of a plan where if he helped one person that person would help another person and then it would keep getting bigger and bigger and more people would get involved in pay it forward.

2. What was your Pay It Forward act of kindness?
My act of kindness that I chose was baking cupcakes for all the teachers and EA's at Sargent Park School.

Why did you choose this activity?
We chose this activity because we felt that baking cupcakes will put a smile on teacher's faces and in a way that is making a difference.

Who did you help?
We helped all the people working at Sargent Park School tun a bad day upside down.

What did you do?
First what we did was my group and I went to Michael`s and bought some thing to help us with the icing on the cupcakes. We also ended up going to Sobeys and buying the ingredients for the cupcakes. The next day Me, Ronalen, and Kassey all went to Kassey's house and baked honey cupcakes and iced them with vanilla frosting. Then on Monday at lunch we gave them out to all the teachers and EA`s at Sargent park school. Lastly, at the end we all got great feedback when we gave the cupcakes out. (:

When did you do you act of kindness?
We bought the ingredients on Saturday , baked the cupcakes on Sunday , and handed them out on Monday.

Part 3

How did your act of kindness go ?

My act of kindness went really when ! I was really excited to bake with my friends. We started at about 11:30 on Sunday and ended at about 3:00. Considering we had to bake 105 cupcakes and none were burnt !

What Happened?

What happened was after we made the cupcakes on Sunday we delivered them on Monday to all the people who work at Sargent Park.

How did you feel?

After doing my act of kindness I felt GREAT because when I told people "would you like a cupcake?" some people were like " how much are they" and i said nothing at all they are free. Then I could see the smiles on the workers faces after we gave them a cupcakes.

How did the person or people react?

All the teachers and helpers were surprised and happy every time my group and I would give a cupcake they would POP up with a smile (:

Did you ask the person or people to "Pay It Forward"?

Yes, my group and I did ask people to pay it forward.

How did they react to your request?

They said " I sure will !!! "

Why is the idea of "Pay it Forward" important?

The idea of pay it forward is important because we need to be inspired to change the world and having the chance to do something kind with nothing in return makes you feel really good about yourself " It starts with ME and ends in WE" ( That is Kassey's statement ) and what that means is if one person can do it then it will inspire three people and then those three people will turn out to be nine people changing the world and I think no matter how old or how young everyone can make a difference.

Has your act of kindness made a difference?

Yes, I think my act of kindness has made a difference because with the smallest change like putting a smile on someones face or even just making someone day with a cupcake you have made a difference.

Here is a video of us making the cupcakes and remember to pay it forward !

Some people would even ask what is it so we would explain what it is and we would also explain part of the movie pay it forward so people would know what it is. Other said oh okay thank you very much I

Janessa's Graph Post

My Notes :

• Data can be presented using a bar graph , double bar graph , circle graph , line graph and a pictograph.
• Different graphs may provide different information and display certain types of data better.

Bar graph are best for comparing data across categories

Double bar graph are best for comparing two sets of data across categories.

Circle graphs are best for comparing categories to the whole using percents . The sum of all the percents in a circle graph is 100%.

Line graph are best for showing changes in data over time.

Pictographs are best for comparing data that can be easily counted and represented using symbols.

2.HOW CAN GRAPHS BE MISLEADING ???

This is a Pictograph , it is misleading because all of the trash cans are different sizes making it look like 2000 trash is more important. Make all the trash cans the same size !

This graph is a bar graph . It is misleading because the y-axis doesn't start at zero . It starts at 80 000 !

This graph is a line graph . It is misleading because although the vertical scale starts at 0, it does not go up in even steps. This distorts the graph, and makes it look as though the biggest jump is between 1 and 2, rather than 3 and 4.Also, there are no labels on the axes, so we have no idea what this graph represents!

2.a)

The two graphs that would show the work accurately is a line graph and a circle graph.

2.b)

I would keep selling because this line graph shows that the sales are going up.

I would choose the pictograph because it is more prettier , but the line graph makes the information look better because it shows the sales going up.
