To: James Smith (G8)

G8: Idk I’m stuck for this hwk. What even is respiration?

Me: Don’t worry just remember that respiration process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.

G8: Why does it even exist, it’s so stupid?

Me: It’s really not. Respiration is used to do work at a cellular level. Basically it provides cells with enough energy to carry out their specific functions.

G8: How do cells even do respiration?

Me: Respiration is one of the most important ways in which cells get rid of waste products and it fuels cellular activity through providing easier ways for the cells to function.

G8: Thx for all the help cya tmw

Me: Cya James

Task 1: reflecting on theatre performances.

Descriptive. 

During the video, no sound is heard. Although a series of interesting and fantastical images are seen. Furthermore a strange environment is presented on stage by the actors and cast. Strange creatures are also operated by some actors using sticks, whilst one other looks around, confused at the weird and wonderful world he has discovered.

Personal

Whilst watching this I felt slightly worried, however quite enhanced with the amazing and special performances. Also I felt scared of what was happening on stage. I saw a dangerous and interesting scene before me. In addition the scene really spoke to me as I enjoy futuristic and intriguing scenes that make me think about meaning.

Reflection

The theatrical moment can be used in my work, as a post apocalyptic society, which can aid the quality and my contribution to my team’s work. Also many fantastical moments of interest can be incorporated into my work. They can be shown or used in pieces that I am developing at the moment.
