Todays lesson was a very constructive lesson, because today we were introduced to a new way of presenting our website, before actually creating it. It involved us drawing it out like a story board and indicating were the movements occur with the website, as well as a description on each page. So myself and Patrick constructed this in our first period of our double period, though we actually submitted it in our second period. I actually found this quite useful, as it allowed myself and my group member to communicate more and allocate features, instead of just starting a website and being interrupted along the way. Also in our first period we were marked on our e-portfolio, which conatined our contract,meetings and calendar. I believe that we had done very well in this department as myself and patrick planned it in the long run.

In the second period, Ms West began marking the individual tasks, though she did not have enough time to get around to myself or my partner, even though both of our websites were complete. Also we made some further clarifications on our website and our chosen organisation. We were also reminded that our e-portfolio had to be updated before the next checkpoint, so myself and my partner resumed doing our e-portfolio. We also mucked around with dreamweaver testing out some colours etc, that we could use for our site. This was because Ms West had not yet given us feedback on our web layout.

For tommorows lesson if we get our feedback we will start our production of our website and continue to research its contents and images.

Today I added customised text to my home page. I had to go to dafont.com and create my text. After this I then copied it into the program photoshop. Using this program i then edited it using effects like sharpening and varnishing.

What you learned today working on your website.

Today I learnt how to sharpen and varnish an image using photoshop. I also learnt how to then add this text into my html page.

What you plan to do next lesson.

Next lesson I plan to start adding informating onto my pages.

This means that technology is making everything in the world easier.

The world would be a betterplace if the internet was never invented as there would be less problems and negative issues in the world. For example there would be no scams, cyber bullying and pornography.

I think the election of President Obama is one real life story that can be used as a parable to teach a specific beatitude for Christian followers. This can be used to teach the message of forgiveness, reconciliation and moving on no matter how hard things have been in the past.

Another religious text from a religion other than Christianity is Nevi’im which is a scripture from the Hebrew Bible.

·  Describe briefly who it was written by and its purpose. 

This scripture was written by Joshua. It contains a history of the Israelites from the death of Moses to Joshuas own death. It writes about how Joshua is Moses successor and how he receives the command from God to cross the Jordan river.

·  Provide ONE example of the type of writing found within the document.

The book essentially consists of three parts:

1.      The history of the conquest of the land (1-12).

2.      The allotment of the land to the different tribes, with the appointment of cities of refuge, the provision for the Levites (13-22), and the dismissal of the eastern tribes to their homes.

3.      The farewell addresses of Joshua, with an account of his death (23, 24).

·  How is it different in purpose to the bible?

There are not many differences between the Nevi`im and the Bible besides the fact that they call Joshua a prophet as he is just reffered to as Jesus disciple in the Bible.

If I was given this opportunity I would right about my own experiences as a young Catholic. From this I would like my readers to take away the message of how being a young Christian is a long ride of crossroads. You question your faith often and you begin to understand yourself and your religion a lot more.

I do not agree with James although i do understand were he is coming from. The word of God would not have spread all over the world without the bible being written. The bible plays a very important role in the peoples knowledge about God.
