Heat Of The Night: The Movie

Posted by

My Movie

Character, Setting And Mood

In The Heat Of The Night is full of many clues for the reader to figure out what is going on within the novel. There were many examples within the novel, that helped me figure out what Bill Gillespie’s appearance may be. In the novel on page 11, where it describes his age and a few of his physical appearances. I determine the setting was in 1960-70s USA because in the book it gives us details about the racism and where its located. The swear words within the book show us that it takes place in a older era. The mood within the book shows anger, and lots of racism. It showed racism when many hurtful words are directed at Virgil. I used my critical thinking skills I was able to put together the puzzle the author left.

Core Competency Reflection

I show others that I truly value their contributions by making sure I take every ones ideas and that we included every ones ideas and information. I also make sure that before adding to the project that everyone agrees with what is being added.

I respectfully advocate for my needs by asking for help and seeking help when needed, I use my LEC block to get help, I talk to my group members on our group chat asking a question I may have, and asking the teacher in class and outside of class of any questions I may have about the project.

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to see what the issue is and see if there’s a good solution we all agree on.

I notice when people feel left out, I make sure they feel included by asking them there onions on the project and there ideas for it.

Meal Planning Assignment

Posted by

Problem

Who will make dinner, when it will be, and how it will work around the family of 4 busy schedule. The family needs help to find out what dinner will look like for week days.

Solution

A new recipe – pasta with meatballs

Ingredients for Meatballs (makes 22-23 meatballs): 

  • 3 slices of white bread, (crusts removed), diced or torn to pieces 
  • 2/3 cup chilly water 
  • 1 Lb lean ground beef, (7%-15% fat) 
  • 1 Lb Sweet Ground Italian sausage, casings removed 
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more to serve 
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced 
  • 1 tsp sea salt 
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper 
  • 1 large egg 
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, to dredge meatballs 
  • 3 Tbsp Light olive oil to sauté, or use vegetable oil 

Ingredients for Sauce: 

  • 1 medium yellow onion, (1 cup chopped) 
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced 
  • 56 oz crushed tomatoes, (from 2 – 28 oz cans) 
  • 2 bay leaves, optional 
  • Salt & pepper, to taste 
  • 2 Tbsp basil, finely minced* 

Other Ingredients: 

  • 1 Lb spaghetti

Justification 

I think each part of our plan will work well because we have made sure that we were picking who was home first and making sure there was more than enough time to make dinner, and that we gave them a Varity of food during the week.

Monday- Parent A will be cooking, and will be cooking ginger glazed salmon. Dinner will be at 5:30, it makes 4 servings and takes 20 minutes to work.

Tuesday- Parent B is cooking today and is making vegetable pad thai. Dinner will be at 5:30 and makes 6 servings and with the two spare servings it will be the parent lunch. It takes 35 minutes to cook this meal.

Wednesday- Teen 1 is cooking chicken noodle soup, dinner will be at 6:00 and makes 6 servings, the other two the kids will take to school. It takes 45 minutes to cook.

Thursday- Parent A is cooking black bean taco, dinner will be between the times 5:20-5:40. We will be making the whole me which takes 15 minutes.

Friday- Parent A and Teen 2 are cooking tonight, they are making spaghetti and meat balls. Dinner will take around 45 minutes, and they will make half of the meal, they will also have dinner around 5:45.

Spaghetti and Meatballs Recipe (VIDEO)

We copied the recipe from this website  

Collaboration Reflection 

We used our phones to talk outside of school about our project and shared a word document where we all had access to work online for it.  

We sent out shared word document, Edublog, and we also used snap to communicate. We were all familiar with technology and I’ve been using my technology to finish my work in class. 

We distributed tasks based on days of the week for finding what days who will cook, what they will make, and what time. We had 2 people make the chart and we also had 2 people make sure everything was completed. We picked who did each thing by picking who would do each task to the best we can. 

I typed out work, answering questions, making the chart with one other group member, and making sure that everyone in the family cooked a meal, they had a different meal each day, and that the times worked right, I did this with 2 other people in my group.

All About Me

My Bio

I’m Mackenzie, I used to do gymnastics and now do cheer again, I did cheer for 4-5 years and I did competitive cheer for 6 years, I am now on the cent cheer team. I have a brother named Derek, and a cat named Nacho, my cat is a big orange cat that’s kind of fat and fluffy, and I like to be around my cat. I like to hang with my friends, Kyla, Mica, Lochlan, Isabella, Krista, and Aunjali. We like to go to the mall or my house. I like to spend my spare time on my phone with my cat or with friends. Some words that describe me are, short, out going, and I put effort into things. Some things you may want to know about me are, I’m in grade 9, and I like music. Some goals I have for myself is to try hard in my classes and to not fail any. I learn best when I try, and ask for help, it helps me because when I don’t try I don’t care or ask for help. I like to express myself by talking to friends. I think the best way for me to show you what I know is through creative ways instead of writing about it. When I have difficulties with something I normally ask for help. My strength’s are being able to meet new people and being athletic. My stretches are showing my work and extending my work to the best it can be. My best courses are probably welding/wood because I like wood working and I’m happy to try welding.

This is my favourite video because I like to play fetch with my cat. I like to play fetch with him because I find its funny that my cat is weird and plays fetch. My cat is named nacho, and he’s a big orange cat. I got my cat in march, and we shaved because his fur was nasty. when we shaved him we left fur on the end of his tail and he looked like a fat mini lion. My cat has really big paws and a big head.

My Favorite Image

This is my favourite picture, it a picture of my cat nacho. I like this picture because I find my cat looks really funny in this picture. My cat is important to me because I love to laugh at him, and love to pick him up. This picture is one of my favourite pictures because not only does he look really funny but he’s also very cute cause his big fat face. when I feel sad I like to hold him which is why he’s meaning full to me.

My Favourite Quote

“I like criticism, it makes you strong” -LeBron James. I like this quote because its very true, because if you don’t have people saying criticism then you cant build to be stronger. I take take criticism and it makes me stronger because then I know what I can do to be better.
