Today in English for SSR I chose to read a selection of BTS' member Jin's dad jokes. His purpose for Jin's dad jokes is to 1) annoy his members of the K-Pop band; 2) is to make people laugh. I think the age category is for all ages! If you don't know who BTS is the members oldest to youngest are:

1. Jin: 25                  (Jin)

2. Yoongi: 24          (Suga)

3. Hoseok: 24         (J-Hope)

4. Namjoon: 23      (Rap Monster) 

5. Jimin: 22             (Jimin)

6. Taehyung: 22      (V)  

7. Jungkook: 20      (Jungkook)

Here is a link to one of their songs Dope

Method:

1. Cut strip of filter paper that is long enough to reach the bottom of your beaker and able to wrap around your pencil or ice-block stick.
2. Rule a line approximately 2 cm from the bottom piece of your paper.
3. fill your beaker with enough chromatography solution to fill your beaker to a depth of 1cm
4. place a dot of ink above the ruled line on your filter paper. you need to produce a concentrated dot of ink so repeated applications are necessary.

Add 5mL of the fifth test tube into the sixth test tube.

Discussion:

The first test tube went a dark purple colour.

As we poured 5mL from each test tube into the next test tube, the colour lightened each time.

I learnt that The test tube with the darkest colour has the most  Potassium Permanganate in it.

My Persuasive Writing

The Referee is always right.

Have you ever wondered why

you have been benched or sidelined during a sport you enjoyed and then

blamed it on the referee?

Well wonder no more the problem isn’t with the referee it is actually you!

You may think I’m crazy but if you read hard enough you will see what I

mean. For starters they are older and probably know more than you. They

are only ever going to blow the whistle if you do anything out of the rules

for example basketball, you are to dribble the ball and not just hold it in your arms.

I mean if you blame the benching or being put on the sidelines on the referee well

you will get in more trouble than you already are in. you should always listen to the

referee. All the rugby or soccer stars you know they listen to the referee. They will

get the occasional yellow or red card but they never argue back to the referee

You may think it is hard to be the player. But just think about how hard it is to

be a referee. Just how hard it is to get the players to listen to him or her, because

it is really hard. Think how hard it is to get one person to pay attention, then try a

good seven or eight. Not as easy as you thought was it!

So when your on the field remember to listen to the referee. Because they choose

to get up in the morning to coach your game. They could choose not to get up and

just stay in bed. So think of that before you decide to talk back to the referee.

Music With Da Best Teacher

I like how this song he wrote for his fiance.

They were kids when the fell in love as he explains

He explains how he left her but wont do it again

He says hes dancing in the dark so it is like he is dancing at night

He was meant to whisper but she heard him say that she looks perfect

He thinks she is stronger either emotionally or physically.

He has a "vision" of them and their future

He will be alright because of his soon-to-be-wife

He see's their future when he looks in her hand

They have a favourite song together

He calls her an ANGEL!

He says he doesn't deserve an angel like her

WHAT AM I LEARNING:  I am learning about the back story of my favourite songs.

HOW AM I LEARNING:  I use the internet when in need other than that I use what I already know

WHAT AM I WONDERING: I am wondering if Ed Sheeran wrote that song when the broke up, got back together, when he just proposed to her or the were together for ages.
