(Actual) How to spot clickbait

If you go on some site/app and you're suppose to click on something that would have information, you might get click baited. If you have been click baited, but don't want to, I, have some good tips for you that can help you spot click bait.


Some ways are to put some research in the subject. If there isn't much about it, it's most likely fake. Another one is if you feel somewhat emotional, the publisher might've done that to make you more interested in it. The publisher might also exaggerate the title, for example, it might mention someone going to space, but the content might just show it as in a video game. 


I hope you learnt something.              :)











Here's the site that I got information, it has awesome information and some deep meaning with a cool story

A brief explanation of Protests

A Protest is normally a large group of people that disagree on an event, but feel that they aren’t heard. Due to this, the Protesters use ways to be heard and look for others who agree with them to join in the protest. One-hundred and fifty years ago, the first group of people had doubts about an event and protested about it.

There are various ways of protesting. New Zealanders have been protesting for over a century for causes they are passionate about! There are a lot of crazy events in history, some of them have been caused by Protests. The most common way of protesting now is “Marching”. Marching is where a large amount of people walk on the streets protesting to be heard. Some holding signs, others shouting for justice. This isn’t the only way, some types of protests, are strikes, where people don’t work to convince leaders to do something. Other ways are petitions, petitions are where people sign a form to protest an issue they want to change.
You’re probably thinking “do Protests work?”, well it kind of depends. If citizens work hard enough, and officials agree, Protests can be successful. However, if the Protesters don't work hard, or the officials disagree on their statement, the Protest may not work. 

A famous example of a Protest is one that was led by Kate Sherpard. Kate Shepard’s Protest was caused due to women not having enough rights. Her Protest was carried out by a type of Protest called “Petition”, that type works by people that agree, sign the paper. If officials hear this, the Protest could work out, after many attempts, Katy Sherpard finally succeeded. Not only this, but, this was the first time in history that women got rights.
Another great example is, The great strike, The great strike is where Wellington watersiders and Miners from Huntley figured they had horrible working conditions and weren’t getting paid enough in return, they decided to not work. They stayed in strike for about eight weeks to make the prime minister give them better conditions and money, but the prime minister sent special police to lightly beat up protesters. About eight leaders were arrested but some grew to be politicians and create better laws for work environments.
In conclusion, people Protest about things they think are wrong, or that they want to change. Protests can change for the better, at least if officials decide to see and agree.

A special event

In a particular assembly something special happened. Mr Burt, our principal, has been noticed by the Queen for his good deeds towards Pt England school. At the assembly where we celebrated it, we all sang a couple of waiatas and did the haka after. We also got to listen to some speeches coming from some manaiakalani leaders and Mr Burt's wife. It must have been a very unique experience for Mr Burt, good on him! I’m thankful for Mr Burt putting a lot of his time and money towards us having a good time, like the year six camp, or any other camp and activities. Thank you Mr Burt!
