pros

no security
people make up new words
no background information about the people who sign up
cyber bullying
racism

Outline Proposal
We are going to research and find out whether or not Facebook has a negative impact on people's English skills. We will do this by researching and finding any facts and interviewing Facebook users and asking them if their English skills have improved or got worse. We will be interviewing teenagers around the ages of 14-19 and asking them how often they use Facebook and if it has affected their English in any sort of way.

merlin

in this report i will tell you what i have found out and how


we were looking at a script and it was a script about the film Merlin it said that in the first scene the 2 guys will be talking and then when we watched the film the 2people were talking to each other they are similar because the script describes it and the movie also does the same thing the script is simple so that the director can understand what the writer has wrote so they can act it out. The script is useful for a film because it tells the acteres what to do and what to say

What i have done

i have Researched about Al Capone for my research skills and now i will have to do a short film for my Presentation

Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone (January 17, 1899 – January 25, 1947) was an American gangster who led a Prohibition-era crime syndicate. The Chicago Outfit, which subsequently became known as the "Capones", was dedicated to smuggling and bootlegging liquor, and other illegal activities such as prostitution, in Chicago from the early 1920s to 1931.
Born in the Brooklyn borough of New York City to Italian immigrants, Capone became involved with gang activity at a young age after being expelled from school at age 14.[1] In his early twenties, he moved to Chicago to take advantage of a new opportunity to make money smuggling illegal alcoholic beverages into the city during Prohibition. He also engaged in various other criminal activities, including bribery of government figures and prostitution. Despite his illegitimate occupation, Capone became a highly visible public figure. He made various charitable endeavors using the money he made from his activities, and was viewed by many to be a "modern-day Robin Hood".[2]
Capone was publicly criticized for his supposed involvement in the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, when seven rival gang members were executed.[3] Capone was convicted on federal charges of tax evasion, and sentenced to federal prison. His incarceration included a term at the new Alcatraz federal prison. In the final years of Capone's life, he suffered mental and physical deterioration due to late-stage neurosyphilis, which he had contracted as a youth. On January 25, 1947, he died from cardiac arrest after suffering a stroke.

why do 48% people in sidney stringer struggle in english?

are designer clothes a rip off?

i think that designer clothes are a huge rip off they cost a lot of money for example a pair of Armani jeans costs about £200 whereas if you go in to Primark the jeans are much more cheaper they would cost about £12 you could buy 18 pairs jeans from primark but the armani ones you could only get 1 pair

The cons:
people might not watch it
it hasnt got action in it
pros: saves you a lot of money
people will be aware of it
it is suitable for my audience
What will i need to do this:
i would need 3 people 2 of them to try a pair of clothes and 1 to judge witch is designer and witch one is fake
