Term 3 Week 7 Learning Log

The week we continued learning about "The Mighty Mandarin". "The Mighty Mandarin" himself is not a merciful person we had rehearsal.Mr Chua gave us a worksheet that is to be finished in class. It is about what mood is it for the five character who said their dialogues. We had to chose who was the character.How was the dialogue said and mood.Why did the character said it liked this.
The mighty mandarin is related to the world wide problem and that is famine.Behind the comical aspects there is a serious issues as i had mention above famine.People living in countries such as Africa, China, North Korea and so on.

There is a variety of factors that famine happen:
  1. drought and other difficult weather conditions in many of the affected countries, bringing low harvests and driving up the price of food .
  2. the debilitating impact of HIV/AIDS, which leaves those infected less able to stave off the ravages of hunger and weakens local farming systems by killing off millions of Africa's most productive farmers
  3. inadequate economic policies, especially in agriculture, which in many affected countries have brought too little investment in farming inputs, rural infrastructure or essential social services -- problems compounded by the poor prices African farm exports fetch on the world market.
