Feedback

What is feedback and Why is it important?
Feedback are good and bad opinions from different people about any piece of work,creation, etc that you have done. It helps us when we are trying to improve on ourself. Without Feedback, we don't know what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong. We don't know whether we are following the same instructions as everyone else and when we don't see anything wrong with ourselves, we become stuck with our ways, and don't change. But with Feedback, we allow ourselves to change our ways and become more open minded to different opinions given by our peers, teachers, adults, etc.


Good Feedback
Bad feedback
Is Specific.
Doesn’t tell the person what to improve on.
Honest.
“It was Horrible!”
List their targets to improve in.
“I like politics too!”
“It was very factual! But you need to add more examples.”
“Interesting”

5 ways to conserve water around the Bathroom

1) Switch the tap off when you're NOt using it.
Everyone says that that you should be switching off the tap when you're brushing you're teeth. Reality is that you should be switching off the tap whenever you're not using it. Eg: washing hands, washing dishes, a dripping tap, etc.


2) Shorter Shower Times
This seems to be completely impossible for girls and some guys :D but it is possible! Australia has this 3 minute shower where its only 3 minutes. This might be easier for some, harder for others, but whatever the case is, you are wasting water and time when you spend at least 20mins in the shower. Quit singing!!
3) Don't use a Rainforest Shower head.
Some people think that this type of shower heads are "cool" and they actually do look cool. Reality is that they waste a HELL of water. So just to make life easier and water bill's smaller: use low flow shower head. They use less water and they'll  give your water bill a break. 
4) Keep tab's on any leakages.
Keep an eye on the pipes. If there is a leak, then fix it straight away before wasting anymore water and so you're water bill doesn't go any higher than it already has.




I chose to present this using Power Point Presentation.

Water: School, Home and Both

School:
 ·      Science experiments – use the amount needed
·      Art: for painting.
Home: 

·      Watering plants but not over- watering them
·      Washing up- use only as needed
·      Swimming
·      Washing a car – don’t wash it everyday 

Both: 

·      Drinking
·      Swimming
·      Washroom – don’t leave the tap on
·      Shower- don’t take hour-long showers

Water: My views

-Is one of the most important substances in the world.
-Without it, we would die.
-Water covers around 70% of the world.
-Even though water is needed to survive, we are still polluting the little resources we have left.
-Water can be harmful as well as beneficial to our survival.
