Child soldiers

Why do child soldiers fight

Well in most cases child soldiers have no choice in whether they become a soldier as most of the time itś because of conscription or because itś become a soldier or death.

They have multiple reasons to why they joined places that have child soldiers because people did things to their family they killed them and they wanted to avenge and give revenge to the people who did it.

Some people get roped into being a child soldier because their country has a conscription age below 18 which means that they get forced to go into the military at one point or another.

So those are some of the reasons why child soldiers fight.

How can this happen 

what are the key reasons  for this happening 

Why are children used in war and how does this take there human rights and freedom

Well In some countries that have child soldiers need more soldiers to fight so what kids wanted to do if they wanted to be in the war they had no birth certificates so they would fake their age but it didn't really care how old they were they were desperate for more soldiers they were meant to be 19 or 18 to join but they could get kidnaped to be in the war.

Well being in a country that needs soldiers they have no choice if they want to or don't want to Be in the war if they have a reason to be in the war if another country did something to their friends or family then they would join or if they just want to kill people.

Some people get sold,kidnaped,bought to be soldiers if they refuse to be soldiers they could get killed but if they are going to be in the war or be soldiers then they use guns they are risking their lives to be in the war instead of getting freedom and an education to be a very important person but they would want to risk their lives instead they never get any freedom or human rights they have to obey the rules.

So that's what I think about why being in the war take away their human right and freedom

Chris fell asleep on sentry duty and all of us teenagers are about to go to sleep while he watches out for the people who are attacking us But we didn't know he fell asleep since we were hiding at the campsite. We all fell asleep and next minute we hear snoring and then suddenly we hear ´Guys over here we hear someone sleeping´ we all woke up in shock we all don't know what to do then Homer walked to try to get away but he stepped on a stick. And they said ´There are more people´ next minute they saw us we are all sacred we all start crying well most of us the rest are all in shock and don't know what to do it's like they were paralyzed of  what they saw.

Here is my drawing of the campsite they are staying at So here are the bushes around the camp then there is the cave as you can see over the campsite then there is the campsite where they stay at where the cave is over the site and there are the lake and the water full at the back where they swim at.

Tomorrow when the war began chapters 9 to 12

Question one 
Since it is a very quiet place so they can set up their base without anyone knowing 

Question 2 
They were so innocent because they used to always go camping with each other and now they camping invasion happened so they have to be careful of everything they do 

Question 3
That they are going to do anything to wreak Australia and they are demonstrating not to mess with them or they will get invaded again without them knowing and they are willing to do anything in their power to destroy everything 

Question 4
They used the bike quietly with not making a sound and stuck to the dark shadow road where no one can see them.

Question 5
Her emotions show that she is scared and worried but she is also emotional because of her shivers  

Question 6 
She gets very angry because of her friend or family member because  Chris is meant to get cars with the soldiers and if Chris is not  looking out for the invaders then he won't know what is going to happen and it  will be easier for them to do what they want and it is also easier for them to take the teenagers.

Top 10 Most child labor countries
Link to my google maps 

Why are we doing this 

We are doing this because we are learning about slavery and one of the topics are Child labor so we learn about what it is and watch a few little clips of what it is and what you do and after all of the videos and talking we had to do the Top 10 most child labor countries in the world and this is the information I did.

Why does this relate to child labor  

We researched the top 10 most child labor countries in the world and did a map of where they are located and a picture of what they look like and information about child labor. as you can see the screenshot of my map where all the locations are and up top is the link look at the maps so you can see the information I have done on the topic.

Paragraphing 

Why are children used in labor and how does this take away their human rights and freedom

 Child labor is when their parents sell their children for money so they can pay their debt so what I'm meaning is they are making the kids do all of the work for them and not letting them get educated. So The parent must have bought something but never paid it off. I have examples of some of the top 10 worst countries that have child labor here they are Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The children are basically slaves for there family they normally do mining carpet, making brick and making other things.

Teamwork

sports talking to my teammates and helping them out

I never back down with them

everyone proud and to be who you are they have a life to be free and have friends

Ellie and Kevin’s quick-thinking allowed them to turn a ride-on lawnmower into a bomb. Was this moral behavior? Did they do the right thing, or should they have surrendered themselves?

Yes, they did the right thing because if they surrendered to them they would be in the same place as everyone else that's in the showground (where everyone is held in).

Question 9

Homer says, “This is war now, normal rules don’t apply. They’re the ones who tore up the rule book, not us”” What does this say about his character? What do you think of the validity of his opinions?

My work 

Year 10 digital technology what have we dome so far we have made a site which you can access on this link My site it has all the work I have been doing.
So for digital technology for the past three weeks, we have been learning about digital bytes  and we had to do some work about it

What I like about the subject 

I like about this is you play games it's very interesting it makes you smarter online 

This is what I have been working on for the past 3 weeks Digital bytes 

What do you think is weird al’s overall message in this video?

I think it is telling us not to use numbers in words and trying to educate you to write properly never write so fast because you will mess up

Are there any communication in his video that you recognize in your interactions   to others

No, and yes I use emojis

How does your communication differ in writing speeches and text

Because you're talking to others and you're communicating with them telling them about you or the story you're telling and writing.

What do you define crime do any words bother you

I define a crime when people steal stuff or do something bad and no words don't bother me since its just words they don't harm me really unless its something rude about someone or me

Many people have claimed that grammar has made us worse at spelling because of the internet lingo spell checker and grammar Do you agree with this why or why not

I agree because if you get something wrong it comes up with a red line and when you go on that red  line in like blogger it comes up for the word for you in a writing test and they want to see your spelling it would correct the word for you if ruining  people spelling

How does the way a person communicates shape your impression of that individual is this different when comparing online an offline situations?

When someone is putting effort in the situation it would make me do an impression of wow and a surprised impression but when talking online it is easier to talk because there is no background and you have more thinking in your head but then outside talking in person it would be more understanding and you can tell them ideas of what to do

What part of the video hit you the most and why

The part that hit me the most is that most people use grammar and most people use numbers in words it gave me a lot of information about people writing and things about other stuff  

How many emojis does it take to change a light bulb?

Imagine that you buy a new smartphone the company includes a handbook on all the important stuff you need to know about how and when to text and many other guidelines they have hired  you to write it what would this handbook look like what kind of rules and restrictions would you make for the world of texting and emojis.
