English - Story Reading - All Summer in a Day By Ray Bradbury
For our second task on our new topic, Narrative Arc we have to read this short story which is "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury. This story is about kids who live on the planet Venus and they only get to see the sun every seven years.
We have to do various tasks with the knowledge we gained by doing the past narrative tasks.
1. Find 3 words you don’t know the meaning of. Look them up and write the definitions in your post.
Tumultuous - A loud confused noise
Solemn - Being Serious
Blessed - Made Holy
2. Discuss the Exposition of the story -- what are the characters, setting, and mood?
There's this girl who's name is Margot, she gets bullied by other kids on Venus because the other kids are saying she doesn't know what the sun looks like even though she came from Earth. The mood is kind of mysterious because at the start we don't really know much about this Margot and why the Children are so keen to see the Sun.
3. List and label one metaphor, one simile, and one example of sensory language from the story.
Simile - "Their Cheeks like a warm iron"
Metaphor - "It was a colour of flaming bronze"
Sensory Language - "Trembling Hands"
4. List and label an example of show not tell from the story.
"She was an old photograph dusted from an album"

Science - Cloning
For science our new topic is about cloning, how it's done and should it be used in certain ways.
Process of Cloning
1. Skin cell that contains 46 chromosomes is taken from a organism.
2. Egg cell containing 23 chromosomes is taken from a donor.
3. The Nuclei is removed from both cells
4. The nucleus containing all 46 chromosomes is inserted into the donor egg cell.
5. The egg cell now contains all the instructions to recreate that organism where the skin cell came from.
6. The egg is now surgically inserted into the donor's womb.
Source - Year 10 Scipad Book 2
The Ethics of Cloning
This part is where I answer various questions about cloning. These questions are from the Scipad
Cloning endangered animals to prevent extinction
I agree as long the animal doesn't cause any harm because why not have more animals.
Cloning highly reproductive plants and animals for resources.
I agree as long they are treated fairly because everyone is trying to survive but it's cruel using other organisms for our needs.
Cloning an victim of terminal disease.
I disagree because this is just cruel especially if they are used for research purposes.
Cloning people for military uses.
I disagree because not only the people used for military uses are suffering but also the people giving birth to them.
Cloning humans for organs
I disagree because this is just saving a life while making it miserable for another.
Cloning famous people for advancement towards the human race.
I disagree because this is kind of an cruel experiment by forcing them to be smarter than before.
