Shaken By: Eric Walters

In English we have started LitCircleGroups which is when a group of people get together and read sections of books, then discuss them together. Our class and a class in Oshawa are doing Digital Lit Circles, the difference is that we are going to post questions on our blogs and then the people in our group have to answer them in full sentences, by doing so we are expressing our opinions and then we discuss each other's answers. Today is the first discussion meeting on the first section of the book we are reading(Shaken by: Eric Walters). We read from page 1-44. Max is one of the kids that is in our group and lives in Oshawa. He has posted a question asking: If Joshua never met Naomi and she didn't come on the trip, how do you think Joshua would like the trip? Explain your answer. Well I will answer your very good question Max. To see our discussion so far come check out this link: LitCircleGroup

I think that Josh would be very bored, not having Naomi. Naomi is there as a sort of a thing that will keep him occupied. Josh seems like the kind of person who gets bored very easily. If he never met Naomi I think that I would not like the book very much, this is because I have a prediction that Josh and Naomi will get very attached to each other and what is a good book if it does not have some romance in it? It seems that Naomi really likes Josh,  Josh does not necessarily dislike Naomi, but would rather be alone. If Naomi didn't go on the trip I would think that half the book would most likely be very boring. It will be very interesting with Naomi, considering her personality. If I could ask Eric Walters 2 questions about the book they would probably be: Why put Naomi in the book? And why give her the personality she has in the book?
This is my answer and I hope it satisfies you Max and my other Shaken readers.

Your awesome blogger,

SOLE Presentation

This is a presentation  that my group and I have presented to all the people that watch this. Our group's topic is Plagiarism and Plagiarism on the Internet. Our presentation talked about what Plagiarism is and why it is bad, what the fees are if you Plagiarize, and examples of Plagiarism. I want the people who watch our presentation to take the information and use it for the better. I want you to learn from our information and do not Plagiarize. I want you to notice that our group divided our work equally. Each person in our group devoted their time to find information and provide their input on what we should do. My group have two videos because one of our group members was absent for the first video looking for a piece of work for our presentation. The new person that is in the second video is Will, he and Haneen created a short skit as an example of Plagiarism. I learned a lot from having to research what Plagiarism is. For example I learned that when you Plagiarize you can be called a Plagiarist, also I learned that you could go to jail for 10 years, or you will have to pay $2,500-$250,000 in fees! By the way I'm the dude in the blue on the right.
Enjoy!

Ethical Giving

This is an assignment that me and my class are doing. We are researching Ethical Giving charities. Here is a link to the assignment: Ethical Giving.
Enjoy!


If I had $100 I would spend most of my money on gifts from World Vision. From there I would get 2 hens and a rooster for $50 because the hens can lay eggs and the rooster can fertilize them until the people have enough chickens to get all the eggs they need from them, Antibiotics for 10 children for $30, I got this because it saddens me to think that children die from infections because they don't have antibiotics.

The $20 I have left I spent on mosquito nets from Oxfam so that babies or people do not get malaria.

I spent my $100 on what I feel is nessecary for a person in need to have.

Behind my name

Hi my name is Tyler Hawke. On this blog post you will get to know what my first name stands for. Behind My Name Assignment: Tyler Hawke

Before this assignment I thought my name was just plain Tyler, because I thought a name was just a name. I didn't know names had meanings and reasons for it.

After searching on Behind My Name, I learned that my name means a tiler, which is a person who puts tiles on floors or on roofs.

Another interesting fact I learned was that the surname Tyler was borne by American president John Tyler in the late 1700's.

I think my name doesn't fit me because the meaning of it (tiler). I know nothing about tiles or anything, I have no idea why my parents would have given me this name.

If I could give myself a new name it would be, Lythwain, because it was a name that my adoptive dad would have named me when he adopted me, I have grown used to the name and now wish that I had the name, Lythwain.

This is the Hawkes family crest:

Why Plagiarism on the Internet is wrong

Plagiarism is wrong because you're stealing ideas or words that are not yours it's like being dishonest.When you plagiarize you are showing that you don't care that you are depriving someone else of their work and that you cannot be trusted. You are taking the credit and the responsibility of that idea and work that you did not do. When someone does plagiarism on the Internet  it shows that the person is too lazy to go and do the work himself/herself.  When someone plagiarizes he or she can be called a plagiarist. When someone plagiarizes, the plagiarist, can be fined a minimum fee of $2,500 to the maximum fee of $250,000 in fines or 10 years in jail. Why plagiarize and deny yourself the ability to learn yourself for your later careers and risk paying a fee of $2,500-$250,000 in fees or risk going to jail for 10 years, this will all go on your Criminal Record which when you apply for a job the supervisor that is interviewing you will look at your job application and your Criminal Record to see if you have been in jail or have done anything illegal. By doing something illegal you are making your life worse and miserable because it will be harder to find a job.

These are some facts that I have researched and are putting out there so that all that reads this will know why plagiarism is wrong and that they should not become a plagiarist. I hope this will helped and that you will make sure that you do the right thing.
