PBL

Group Name: "Say No More"
The topic that I have chosen is Community Service, but particularly in feeding the homeless or just providing service.

We used these websites:

City Mission	http://www.citymission.org.nz/
Habitat For Humanity	https://www.habitat.org.nz/
Salvation Army	http://www.salvationarmy.org.nz/

 

We have chosen to feed the homeless hoping to give a positive impact, and maybe start a butterfly effect.

We are going to make a whole lot of burgers after we have a fund raiser to fund this and put them in a box, then we are going to hand them out and maybe take some pictures with them.

People should pay for fishing

I believe fisherman should pay for every fish they catch. The fish population is going down very fast because of people all around the world keep overfishing, and there are starting to be not enough fish for the fishes predators to eat, and therefore this is damaging the food chain. I think that we should make people pay for every fish that they catch so then people will not want to fish anymore because they won’t want to pay for it and leave so that the fishes can populate more faster. I know that a lot of people around the world survive on fish, so I think that we shouldn’t make the prices too high. People will say that this is a stupid idea but I know that it will help the aquatic ecosystem very much, this idea is giving back to the environment.

HEADLINE:

Ponyboy gets slapped by his own brother!!!

On a late tuesday night Ponyboy (14) gets slapped by his older brother Darry at 11:00pm for coming back home late because he (Ponyboy)fell asleep with Johnny in their secret place. The reason this has occurred is because Darry and Ponyboy are having a bad time with each other ever since their parents died, and so if Ponyboy comes late at night Darry would be worried and so this is why Darry(Ponyboy other brother) chose to slap Ponyboy.
