1) The research is going ok, except i’m only using the links on pmonline because im not 100% sure about what  we should exactly be doing and how it has to be presented.

2) Well, i’ve just learnt how to use imovie in re/ist

i completely understand what im suppose to say

1)NetAlert is the Australian Government’s internet safety initiative which consists of a wide range of activities. Together, these activities provide a comprehensive response to the needs of the Australian community in protecting their families online.

2) They are provideing every household and library with the new NetAlert program because they have acknowledged that the internet could be a harmful tool to children. It can be harmful by using online chatting sites, and talking to people you don’t know such as kidschat.com. Another reason for implementing such a program is because of cyber bullying that is common in schools all around australia.

1) our generation uses the internet and computer for nearly everything these days

2) www.bebo.com , www.mysace.com , www.facebook.com , www.del.icio.us , www.wordpress.com

3) * www.bebo.com * . Bebo is used as a website that allows you to create your personalised page for everyone to see. it is used to describe yourself, let everyone know who you are and they usually have pictures uploaded onto thier personal profile. It can be misused by someone creating a false account about you and displaying information that could be abbusive and untrue. it cold also be used as a way of cyber bullying because bebo allows anyone to send public or private comments that can be abbusive.

was this your best effort individually?

i think i put alot of effort but not to my fullest potential.

what was the difficult part of working in a group?

it was difficult to co-operate with everyone in the group and i also found it difficult because i wasn’t always sure about what everyone in my group was up to.

identify three new ideas you had not known before?

to use programs like windows movie maker and imovie to present information and how to use wordpress.

suggest two new ideas that you could do to improve the next project.

spend more time out of school with my grouop for more orgnisation and also do my journals on wordpress the day they are meant to be done.

The Aboriginal Dreamtime

Unto this king of people,
Life’s not a modern rhyme,
Ancient Culture be thy real love,
Govern’d, potency, Dreamtime.

Jiva or Guruwari, seed power,
Ever boding dreaming,
Thy sacredness enshrined,
A’fore the white man scheming.

Tis nobler, do not teach the teacher,
Thou canst not be Wandjina,
Assimilation, doubt thou spirits,
What says a horrible scar?

To thine Baiame thoust be true,
Hath not your mystery bonded?
An aboriginal nation,
On whitemans untimely stage, secondered.

Author: Paolo

analisation

the poem is saying that the  aboriganals are indestress because there land has been tacken from them. the poem macks feel sorry for the aborigqanals.this poem demenstrates the emotions of sadness sorrownessand destress.when i read this poem in my head i see thousand of upset aboriganals. if iwas an aboriganal inthat time i would fell anger ans sadness and i would fell that my life has been torn upside down . thias poem was written by a man called poalo on the 16 of july2003.this poem was written for people so people know the pain ths aboriganals went through.

1.they are probably silent naturally but they also could be silent and subdued because they are felling as if they are being overthrown from the white people and under thier power.

2. they are represented as ants. because they are working to build thier colony as ants do.

3. a bora ring is an initiation rite for the aboriginies in which the boys are accepted into the tribe as men, and it is important to this poem because the bora ring is becoming less existant as the white poeple are settleing in.

4. the aboriginals are treated as insignificant to the white poeple, yet the white people are the unsettlers.

5. a sense of belonging is the effect it gives to the reader.

6.the poet is giving the reader a direct view to let us see the things as the aboriginals would have seen it “many white men hurry about like ants.”

7.The poem begins to talk about their tribe , it then talks about their land and home it has been overrun by the white men (English) moving around the land quickly as if ants, it seems their land is being used as a rubbish tip. They are disgraced for this is sacred land in which ceremonies such as corroberies and other special ceremonies are held such as the hunt and tales are told of the sacred dreamtime the tribe look upon their land. All of its speciality is gone for invaders have taken t from them and since they are not strong enough to fight for them selves they leave it to fight another day. And in the last 6 lines they explain how their culture is becoming more non existent.

8. Just as in the Dreamtime stories, the elements have personality. Thunder is “that loud fellow.”

9. Certain lines in the poem create an atmosphere/mood of hatred such as “We belong here, we are of the old ways.”

10.The theme in this poem is very important becasue it is something that is still a big issue today. As for the title “we are going” it ties in with the conclusion  (last 6 lines) where the poet lists the things that have gone after the white people came.
