What is a photogram?
In Photography, we are learning about photograms. we took photos of our work and sent them to our emails to put on a slideshow. On this slideshow, we used the format option and edited different settings like, the brightness, contrast and recolour, which is changing the colour of the whole photo. I did a range of different ones, using different filters and brightnesses. In the second to last slide, I lined the leaves up to make it look like they are meant to be together.

Photography
In Photography we are picking a matrix. We had to make a digital mood board with the artist the teacher has provided for our matrix. For my matrix I chose landscape. I chose this because I enjoy taking photos of the environment/ Landscape. I like the different colours that the land has to offer. The thing I've noticed about all the artist is that their photos are all so different. They all have different views of the environment and landscape. They also have different ways of presenting it as well.

Be assertive learning review.
In English, we have been learning about being assertive. Being assertive is voicing your own opinion and listening and respecting others opinions.
1. What are the four types of behavioural responses, and what does each mean (in your own words)?
Aggressive means that you don't think about anyone else's opinion and you just get mad and try to dominate the other person.
Passive means that you are quiet and won't voice your opinion because you're afraid of what people will think about you.
Indirect means that you will sit there and complain to another person but what say anything and you'll get the other person to say something.
And assertive means that you will voice your opinion respectfully and also listen to others that are speaking and respect thier opinion aswell.
What is the definition of Assertive Communication?
Expressing your thoughts, feelings, and opinions in a way that makes your views and needs clearly understood by others, without putting down their thoughts, feelings, or opinions.
What are the three ‘describes’? When should you use them?
Describe the situation, your feelings, and the change you want. you should use them when you're in a situation and you need control.

What does assertive communication look like?
it looks like good posture and eye contact while they are talking.
What does assertive communication sound like?
it sounds like a loud clear voice.
What does it mean to act like a scratched record when it comes to your boundaries?
Be repetitive.
Think back to a time when you or a friend used a behavioural response that was not assertive. What type was it? What did you say? What happened as a result? What could you have done differently?
My friend kept cancelling on me and so I just stopped reaching out to her or making any plans with her. This was a passive response and as a result, our friendship disintegrated. I could have let her know my feelings and the changes I wanted to see, and perhaps that would have repaired the relationship.
Reflect on your behavioural responses until now. How do you usually respond to tricky situations? Do you want to change the way you respond, moving forward? What will you try to remember in the future when difficult situations arise?
I walk away or tell the person to shut up.
