<span style="color: rgb(247, 38, 220)">1. <span style="color: rgb(252, 84, 210)">What action has been taken in the past to stop graffiti? <span style="color: rgb(253, 28, 28)">I think that people have taken action in the past by painting over graffiti that has been put on by taggers also I think that they have raised the age limit as well so that teenagers cant buy spray paint.

<span style="color: rgb(219, 15, 193)">2. <span style="color: rgb(251, 18, 253)">Does material on T.V. encourage tagging? Explain your answer <span style="color: rgb(240, 0, 0)">I do think material on t.v. and in music does influence people to tag. For example, tagging is featured in many movies and t.v. shoes, and sometimes it is portaryed as "the cool" thing to do. In many music videos, such as the girlfriend remix by Avril Lavigne and Lil' Mama, the artists are seen tagging and spraying their names on a wall. This is not a positive influence because children would want to be like their role models, and they might turn to tagging if their favorite singers are seen doing that. I think parents should tell their kids that tagging is very wrong, and even though they see their favorite stars doing it, its not necessary to follow. However, parents shouldn't stop their kids from watching movies and music videos and listening to ,music. All they have to do is tell their children not to do what they see or hear, and tell them that the morals they see might not actually be good. The children need to know the right from wrong and even though they see it, they don't need to do it. <span style="color: rgb(253, 23, 237)">3. <span style="color: rgb(251, 50, 244)">What affect does graffiti have on our community? <span style="color: rgb(247, 2, 15)">I think that graffiti would affect our community alot because of the cost of the paint that is used and the time that it takes to clean up fences and walls. Also it makes our community untidy and not neat. THIS IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE NEW ZEALAND IS MEANT TO BE A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. And we are known for our lovely trees and forests but now, people have started tagging on trees and on cars and in places where it will never come off. <span style="color: rgb(222, 13, 202)">4. <span style="color: rgb(253, 18, 245)">What can we do to stop tagging in our community? <span style="color: rgb(253, 8, 8)">We could make a 'graffiti clean up day' when people from all over the country go out on a particular day and clean up the graffiti near their homes, schools, works or something simialar. and it could be sponsered by people that would not mind donating like $20 or something to help out with paint bills. <span style="color: rgb(248, 22, 223)">5. <span style="color: rgb(253, 13, 251)"> <span style="color: rgb(250, 41, 229)">Why do you think taggers do graffiti? Explain your answer <span style="color: rgb(242, 7, 7)">I think peer pressure and gang violence have a lot to do with it and gang members marking their territory. also people might want people to recognise a person they look up to, love or want to remember. <span style="color: rgb(242, 28, 211)">6. <span style="color: rgb(253, 62, 254)">How do under ages get their spray paint? <span style="color: rgb(251, 14, 14)">Most younger taggers would probally get their spray paint from older brothers or sisters that can use their ID to get it. Or they get it from a shop that has very relaxed security and get away with it. Or they just might be stealing it. <span style="color: rgb(218, 22, 204)">7. <span style="color: rgb(237, 76, 250)">How do you think tagging affects the people doing it? Explain your answer <span style="color: rgb(247, 2, 2)">The people who are doing it might feel proud that they are doing it and not being caught, or they might feel happy because they're marking their, or their gang's territory. Some might feel guilty because they know what they're doing is wrong. Others might feel stressed out and pressured because they might havce been forced to tag by their friends and peers. <span style="color: rgb(237, 18, 206)">8. <span style="color: rgb(249, 31, 230)">Do think peer pressure affects the people doing graffiti? Explain your answer <span style="color: rgb(236, 4, 4)">I think that peer pressure affects the tagger so much because they want to fit in with their friends and to be like them. Doing graffiti has probably increased so much in the last years because of all the peer pressure in schools.

It's no surprise that teenagers are encouraged to tag, as their favourite shows and music on TV features a lot of tagging and graffiti. 3) Graffiti has quite a large effect on our community. With the cost of paint and the time spent on trying to paint over graffiti, it is not worth it. It makes our community look ugly and when tourists or visitors come to look at our city, they may not come back because of the look.  <span style="color: rgb(27, 162, 248)"><span style="color: rgb(6, 24, 203)"><span style="color: rgb(142, 38, 232)"><span style="font-size: 90%; color: rgb(12, 75, 207)"><span style="color: rgb(151, 26, 213)"><span style="color: rgb(33, 139, 237)">4) We went out for a day and helped clean up graffiti at Ti Rakau Park. It helped a lot because the people that usually clean up the graffiti did not have to work so hard and it was a lot quicker for us all when we worked together. 5) I think that taggers do graffiti for many reasons. One of those reasons is that their friends could pressure them to do it. They also may want to fit in with the crowd. They may be part of a gang and want to stay in that gang. I think that overall it comes down to fitting in with crowds and wanting to impress or agitate other people/ marking territory. <span style="color: rgb(142, 38, 232)"><span style="color: rgb(6, 24, 203)"><span style="color: rgb(9, 21, 236)"><span style="color: rgb(26, 153, 244)">6. Most under age taggers usually get their spray paint from older friends and family with ID, though most of them steal it from shops  <span style="color: rgb(139, 10, 219)">7. The people who do graffiti usually have range of different emotions, ranging from feeling proud, to sadness or even depression. How they feel depends on the people who are doing the tagging.  <span style="color: rgb(139, 10, 219)"> <span style="color: rgb(224, 0, 255)"><span style="color: rgb(4, 23, 205)"><span style="color: rgb(142, 38, 232)"><span style="color: rgb(246, 30, 208)"><span style="color: rgb(27, 162, 248)">8.Peer pressure has affected teenagers doing graffiti so much.

They were on fences, walls and even trees! It didn't take us too long to clean it all up. Some of us used brushes, and others used rollers. It was a good thing i brought my art shirt because it got quite messy!! Rebecca walked into Charlotte's roller and got paint in her eye !! :P

lol it was really fun and I wouldn't mind doing that again!! || Today was the big trip day... woohoo!!!!!! I was soooooo excited!! Dad took me to school because he was our parent helper. Anyway,... we met up with all the other girls at the office and waited 5 minutes because the people were a bit late. When they arrived we got going and went to Ti Raukau park and cleaned up a heap of graffiti on on fences and walls. That took us about 2 hours and then we went over to the other side of the park and cleaned up another 1/2 hour of graffiti then drove up the road and cleaned up a bit more graffiti, then took some photos and went back to school. Lucky... I had got so much paint on my self that I had to go home and have a shower then get dropped off back at school. Over all it was such a fun day!!!!!!! Also Mrs. Parkinson came into the class and looked at our wikispace and said it was really cool!!! She even wrote a comment down the bottom for us!!!!! How much better can this get??? || Today we are going to clean up the graffiti. The people arrived at 9:00am as planned we all went in the car and felowed.(Rebecca toke a werid photo of me in the car. ha ha ha.)

But we had to go back to school early because the people had to go to a BBQ. || Today was the day of the trip. It was so much fun. With alot of enthusiasm, we left the school with alot of spirit. We were determined to clean up our area. We went ot Ti Rakau park and saw a fence with heaps of bright silver writing on it. It was horrible. I don't see how nobody can catch them! It took us awhile ( standing in the sun ) but eventually we got the job done. Angeline and I started painting a white wall that had all this gross black graffiti on it. I couldn't even read it. It was heaps of fun. Then we notices on the other side of the field. Oh no! When we crossed the field, we got straight to work. It was so fun, until I tripped over a root and leaned on the fence we had just painted. ||

 * **<span style="color: rgb(248, 13, 202)">CHARLOTTES PEER REFLECTION ** || **<span style="color: rgb(241, 9, 206)">I think Charlotte has done really well on this task as she has co-operated with the rest of the group and has answered her questions thoroughly. She did a great job on the trip day and has done lots of work on the wiki. Her ideas have been awsome and Charlotte was a really neat person to work with during our inquiry task!!!
 * **<span style="color: rgb(11, 112, 249)">REBECCA'S PEER REFLECTION ** || **<span style="color: rgb(35, 165, 251)">In this task Rebecca has worked to her full potential. She has worked really well and has put a lot of effort into our wiki space by putting on lots of the fancy gens widjits and pictures. On the trip Rebecca co-operated with the rest of the group and was a pleasure to work with!!
 * **<span style="color: rgb(205, 12, 237)">ANGELINE'S PEER REFLECTION ** || **<span style="color: rgb(208, 18, 248)">In the task Angeline worked really well on painting, also on writing her reflection and on the wiki. Her ideas were great. I know that she was proud of herself and we were too. She worked hard with all the tasks that Mr. Read had set for her. Angeline worked well with the whole group and this is not just me saying this but I bet the whole group thinks so to. So over all Angeline was a big help in many ways. Angleine has put her best foot forward. Great Work Angeline!!!
 * **<span style="color: rgb(232, 2, 2)">AIMEE'S PEER REFLECTION ** || **<span style="color: rgb(237, 7, 7)">Well done Aimee you did this task very sensibly and cooperatively. :P You did quite a lot of painting and you answered your questions well. It was really cool working with you and I hope you enjoyed the painting as much as I did. Good job!!!

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 200, 0)">Date and reflection: 16/9/08 Today we started to come up with 6 really cool questions to study for our answers. 17/9/08 Today we wrote our questions up on the computer and decided who was doing what was doing what question. we also started writing our questions on the computer. 18/9/08 Today most of us have got our hypothesies typed up on the computer and have kind - of started answering our questions. 19/9/08 Today we went up to the office and used the phone and talked to Manukau Beautification Scheme and finally got our hands on the right number and asked when we could help out by cleaning up graffiti and they said we could help on Tuesday 23rd of September and reminded us to wear old clothes. 22.9.08 Today we went up to the office and had to change the day of our trip because none of our parents could come and supervise on that day but my dad could come on Wednesday so we just changed it to Wednesday. 23.9.08 Today we rung the Manukau Beautification Scheme again because Pari asked if she could join our group and we were fine with that so we rung up the councill and asked and they said it was fine so that was all sorted. 24.9.08 Today was the big day!!! our trip!! We started out in the morning and went to Te Raukau park and cleaned up about 2 hours of graffiti and then went up the road and cleaned up another 1/2 hour of graffiti and then had some food and then went home.(back to school...) 15.10.08 Today we made sure that our wikispace was up to date and that everything was going ok. 16.10.08 Today we kind of started to draft our reflections and we decided we would present them on a web2 tool called voki.

Include as much detail as you can in your answers. You may wish to check out last years group that did the same topic. Their Wiki isn't very good but there will be some good tips there anyway.

Use the daily timeline to plan what you're going to do each day. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to your answers.**

<span style="background-color: rgb(79, 255, 0)">H<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">ello Graffiti Girls. I'm really delighted with your Wiki so far. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 192, 51)">Well done Rebecca for ensuring that your daily reflection is up to date and current every day. A few of you have some catching up to do. I'm pleased with the way you all contacted the Manukau Beautification scheme and arranged to work with them. I hope you have a great time tomorrow. Take a camera and take lots of photos. You can use them to make your Wiki look awesome and to demonstrate your learning. You will make a real difference to your local community by helping remove the graffiti that makes things look so run down and ugly

Hi Graffiti Girls! I am very impressed with your hard work and desire to improve the community. Hope you can see the value in understanding the need to not graffiti. It is viatl that the youth of today have a sense of the damage graffiti causes not just physically! Well done for your efforts in making a difference. From Mrs Parkinson.

I am very happy with the work you have published on your Wiki so far. I'm looking forward to your presentation on Monday. I think there's a problem with Angeline's embedding code. Please check that out and fix it. Thanks Graffiti girls.

As the future leaders of this country I'd like you to serve others in some way so that you can leave your community (whatever that community may be) a better place. All of you are leaders in your own right. You don't have to be a Councillor like Rebecca to be considered a leader. Each of you is a leader when you take the initiative and do something perhaps that others might not do. E.g Clean up graffiti without being paid or asked to. ** =====
