Living Wage vs Minimum Wage

 In Gillstrom literacy we have been doing video essays. I am doing mine on Minimum wage vs Living wage. I think that the minimum wage should be the same as living wage. Here is some of my planning⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣


Minimum wage= $17.70

Living wage= $21.15

8 hours in a working day 

40 hours in an average working week 

$600 minimum wage in a week 

$846 living wage in a week

Job	Rates
Mcdonalds	$15.89
The Warehouse	$18.86  Just over minimum wage and under the living wage
Cashier	$15.46 Per Hour
Pilot	$25-$80 Over minimum and living wage
Nurse	$20-$40 Over minimum wage can be under or over living wage
Baker	$16.93
Teacher Aid	$19-$20 Over minimum wage and under the  living wage
Lawyer	$29.49 Over minimum and living wage
Receptionist	$17.70 Minimum wage
Accountant	$32.76 Over living and minimum wage

Living Wage VS Minimum Wage

In Gillstrom literacy we are making video essays, a video essay is basically a debate but as a video.
I chose to do my topic on Living Wage VS Minimum Wage. I think that the minimum wage should be living because if you get paid minimum wage and can't find another job that gets paid over minimum wage the can't pay for food or are a house.

I opened the door, the snow brush upon my doorstep, I quickly shut the door. I looked outside the frosty window, lightning danced across the sky. I strode into the toasty warm living room my daughter Emily was playing the Piano,

Her hair swayed under the pianos breath.

As I stepped outside the snow crunched like a rosy red apple. I looked at the moon as my hands shook like a massive earthquake. I walked to the letterbox and quickly ran back inside, I slammed the door behind me, dropped the mail on the bench and jumped on the couch.

I laid in my bed, I could not get to sleep because all I could hear was the wind howling and the rain crying. I could also hear all of the rats scrambling round in the cupboard. I huddled up under the covers and eventually fell asleep.

Goal ladder reflection

In the second week of school, we created our goals for the year and now we are reflecting them.
(the different coloured lines mean where I am up to and the red box means I have not completed but I have done the ones above)
For my reading goals, I believe that I have not been reading novels very quickly but I have been reading more carefully, my next step in reading is to concentrate more on reading and don't talk.
For my writing goals, I have not been practising my writing at home because I forgot all about it, I believe that I have been thinking outside the box a lot more than I have been the past years, my next step is to concentrate on my writing and add lots of detail and descriptive words. For maths, I have not been able to complete my goal because in maths our focus is geometry.
For my resilience goal, I have gone to the top of my ladder and I believe that I am able to walk away when I need to and play with myself, I have not used my cold water because I forgot what they are.
For my other goal, I have not completed my goal because I forgot my goal and what a learning coach meant but next term I will try and be my own learning coach.
