tomorrow when the war began chapter 12

“They say teenagers can sleep all day”. Is this true? Do you agree? Does Ellie still see herself as a typical teenager?no

Ellie’s dream at the beginning of the chapter is rather nonsensical, as dreams are wont to be. Is there any meaning to it? Try and explain what Ellie’s subconscious could be thinking about: why is her dad cooking for the whole town? Why did Father Cronin ignore Ellie’s greeting? Why was Corrie 8 years old again? Why were they sailing off on a boat? Why was Lee undressing? because Ellie is weird and does some stuffed up stuff when she sleeps

Why is it so terrible that Chris falls asleep while on sentry duty? How does Ellie react? Why do you think she reacts this way? How does she feel about her reaction later? because some soldiers could have killed them in there sleep

Back in Hell, Ellie’s dreams are far more ominous. Explain why Ellie is dreaming of her fears. because she is having a nightmare

migration work

our powtoons video
in social studies, we studied migration and we made a video
Migration - the movement of people to a new area or country in order to find work or better living conditions.

Push Factor - Push factors come in many forms. Sometimes these factors leave people with no choice but to leave their country of origin

Pull Factor - Whereas push factors drive migrants out of their countries of origin, pull factors are responsible for dictating where these travellers end up. The positive aspects of some countries serve to attract more immigrants than others.

Cultural - Cultural Factors have to do within a person’s beliefs, moral values, traditions, language, and rules of behaviour that are followed by a certain group of people. This also has to do with cultural beliefs, gender roles, and customs

Economic - An Economic Factor is the information that affects a business or its investment’s value.

Social - Social push factors include a lack of social mobility and job restrictions. For example, in the 1800's, Italians were restricted by social class. If you were born a peasant, you would always remain a peasant. No matter how hard you worked, there was no way to move up the social ladder. As a result, many Italians began to immigrate to the U.S.

Political - Political factors that drive people from their mother country include persecution and government restrictions on citizens. The Jews were persecuted for many years in Europe, especially during World War II. Many decided to leave and find new homes in the U.S



Environment - People migrate due to environmental reasons, pulled towards physically attractive areas and pushed from hazardous zones. In the process of immigrants trying to migrate they may face intervening obstacles

tommorow when the war began

Do you think the way they handled the snake incident was appropriate? What could they have done differently?no, I think they should have dropped a big rock on the snake


Ellie claims that ‘Hell’ is only a label and that people label things all the time, often ignoring or overlooking certain labelled places or things. She then comes to the conclusion that ‘Hell was people’. Is she right? What’s your opinion, on labelling and Hell?probably not


What was especially peculiar about the planes that flew over Hell? ‘Their ------, their ------, their----- frightened me.’ Do these characteristics have any significance? yes


Corrie and Kevin are the only couples in the group, but the trip was bound to bring friends closer. So why does Homer’s interest in Fi seem so odd to Ellie? I don't know I want to read about guns, not the romance so i don't care


Fi brushes off the planes coming back from Commemoration Day. Why do you think the planes were flying over Wirrawee? because they are invading wirrawee


Robyn claims there were dozens and dozens of planes flying over them. What is Lee’s response? Is his suggestion reasonable? how ironic
