Tiktok 💜🖤
WALT: Write an explanation
Success Criteria
*Has correct structure
*Relates to the topic
*Ends with a concluding statement
Tik Tok (previously known as Musical.ly) is one of the most popular apps ever, it is a platform designed for creating, sharing and discovering 15-60 second long videos which people use to express themselves. It is known for the use of popular songs being lip-synced to, dancing, comedy acts, story-times and POV’s (point of views).
The app Musical.ly was bought in November 2017 by Chinese developer ByteDance, for markets outside of China. In August 2018 they merged with the app VideoStar and rebranded the app to TikTok. TikTok is not available in China however the app Douiyn is the TikTok equivalent app in China, and its servers are based in countries where the app is available. TikTok owner ByteDance is a $75 billion Chinese tech giant. At the beginning of 2019 it had 188 million new users.
TikTok is available in 154 countries worldwide with 500 million users. 41% of users are aged between the age of 16-24, 55.6% of users are Male and 44.4% are female. India has many users (which is interesting because it is banned in India), and accounts for approximately 25% of app downloads. TikTok is intended for 13+ users according to the app's community guidelines. The app can be safe for teens with proper parental guidance. It is successful because social media is a big thing these days and young people are embracing it because it is easy to use and entertaining.
It became successful due to the rise of social media through the use of phones and devices. TikTok’s success is largely due to the popularity of Musical.ly. It is currently the most popular app in the USA with over 26 million monthly active users. There are many famous people that use the app such as; Britney Spears, Will Smith, Gordon Ramsay and The Rock. These famous celebrities bring attention to the app from their reputations and fan following.
TikTok has been banned in two different countries; India and Indonesia. In both countries the governments felt that it encouraged inappropriate content and was targeting youth and children. Both countries rescinded the bans after TikTok implemented safety protocols and age verification policies. Currently TikTok is not banned in any countries.
How do you use it?
1. Download the app and sign up.
2. Set up your profile.
3. View the video feed.
4. Like, comment, or share videos you enjoy.
5. Search for videos.
6. Follow users via videos. search, or TikCode. (Every profile has a code that can be used to copy and paste and it will take the user to their profile.)
7. Set up your shot and pick out special effects.
8. Record the video.
9. Post the video (to the public or to your friends) or save it to your drafts.
TikTok is an educational and entertainment app and you can learn from the videos and enjoy them. TikTok is one of the most popular and most used social media apps currently in the world. Give it a try and see if you like it.
In my opinion, I think Tiktok is a really fun and entertaining app, where you can learn so many new things. It also helps with your memory by learning different dances, some are very fast and some and slower. Some have many disparate and difficult moves. I personally have Tiktok and use it a lot, it definitely isn't a waste of time in judgement.
Thank you for reading and please leave a comment telling me if you have Tiktok or not!

Writing a recount
WALT: Write a recount
Personal Goal: use more complex punctuation and join paragraphs
Prank calling people
Yesterday (20th October) Franky, Maria (Franky’s mum), Jess, Rosie and I were coming back from Hanmer Springs. We were all jaded, none of us were even talking (which is rare). We were about 45 minutes away from home.
Out of nowhere Maria said, “Lets play truth, dare or promise!” Rosie and I were confused because we had only ever play truth or dare before. She then explained that promise meant that you had to promise to do something for someone.
We had a few rounds of the game, everyone was just choosing truth, until Jess asked Franky ‘truth or dare?’ Jess couldn’t think of anything so I gave her an idea. The idea was to prank call someone. Jess dared Franky to do it and she agreed. Franky dialed a random number from her phone and called. The man picked up, he sounded like an indian man, like the next 4 people we called.
We were saying things like, “I know you stole my chicken nuggets at McDonald's yesterday, and I would like you to know that I want them BACK!” And various other things. Maria then asked “Do you girls have your caller ID’s on?” We all still had them on so we turned them off as soon as we could figure out how. We remained prank calling other people for the rest of the car ride.
At one point we started going through our contacts and calling people we didn’t think would recognise our voices. We called a few people from Marias contacts, and a few from mine. Before we knew it, we were dropping off Jess at her mum’s house (she was the first one to get dropped off). Next Rosie and I got dropped off at our houses and Franky went home.
The next morning Franky got a few calls from people she had prank called while her caller ID was on and so did I.

Sacred
This weeks virtue is Sacred. We had to make a blog post about something that is sacred. I decided to choose myself, because I am sacred. I am sacred because I just am.
What does sacred mean ?
Something sacred is holy, devoted to a religious ceremony, or simply worthy of awe and respect. ... Sacred is an adjective used to describe a person or thing worthy of worship or declared holy. It usually appears in a religious context, but an object or place set aside for a particular purpose can also be sacred.

Writing in Paragraphs (ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ)
Name: Grace Date:23/9/19
WALT: Write in paragraphs
Personal goal: Use a good amount of punctuation
Subject of paragraph: Cheerleading stunts
Cheerleading can be very complicated, especially when you get into higher levels. One of the main parts of cheerleading is stunting. Stunting is when you lift people up and throw them into the air. Some stunts consist of: mini-stunts, baskets, main-stunts and pyramids. There are 5 different roles you can play in a stunt: ‘backbase’, ‘main-base’, ‘secondary- base’, ‘front-base’ and a ‘flyer’.
Different roles
The ‘flyer’ is the one who gets thrown up or lifted into the air, the rest of those people are lifting up the flyer. The ‘backspot’ will be at the back of the flyer on most occasions, holding their ankles or thighs. The main base and the secondary base hold the flyers feet, they will usually hold one foot each with their hands underneath their feet. Sometimes if the flyer is only standing on one foot and holding the other with their hands. The main base will still hold the foot like normal, but the secondary base holds underneath the flyers foot with one hand and with the other they hold underneath the flyers knee. The front base is in front of the flyer, usually holding their shins.
Different types of Stunts
Mini Stunts are where the bases will usually just hold the flyer near waist level or on someone’s shoulders. Mini Stunts are only used in Level 1R and Level 1. A basket is a stunt where you throw the flyer up in the air. While they are in the air they do some sort of twist or flip (if they are in Level 3-6, if in Level 2 they may only throw them into the air). Baskets are only allowed in Level 2-6. Main Stunt is where the main and secondary bases will usually hold the flyers above their heads (Level 2-6) or at their chest (Level 1-6). When they are holding them at their chest they will only be on one foot with the other by their knee, or holding it in the air in front or behind themselves (sometimes this is the case). Main Stunts are used within all levels. Pyramid is when there are multiple stunts in the air, usually the flyers will do skills that are a level above them and they will have a bracer (a flyer on someone’s shoulders or at chest height, holding the flyer doing a higher level skill).
Thank you for reading this, I hope it makes sense.
