Icesplash

Icesplash was a WindClan deputy, previously serving under the leadership of Eaglestar.

## Appearance

Icesplash is a white and grey, lilac point tom with icy blue eyes and a long, slender tail.

## Family

Icesplash is the son of Softpounce and Viperstrike, and the half-brother of Pinewhisker. He is the half-uncle of Frostflower and Bushberry, and the half-great uncle of Doekit, Featherkit and Newtkit. Icesplash was Birchstar's mate before he was killed.

## Comic Involvement

Iceslash briefly appears while Birchstar scolds Bubblepaw and confines him, Sparklepaw and Willowpaw to camp during the gathering, watching the scene in the background.

Later, when Birchstar appears after briefly vanishing on the way to the gathering, Goldentail comments on her disappearance, as well as a few scratches on her face, however, Icesplash quickly hides the scratches, and Birchstar dismisses them as Goldentail's imagination.

Earlier that night it's revealed that Icesplash helped Birchstar kill the apprentices, restraining Sparklepaw after the apprentice scratches Birchstar's face in an attempt to protect Bubblepaw. He celebrates Bubblepaw's death and holds Sparklepaw in place until Birchstar slashes her throath. Icesplash lets go of Sparklepaw and leaves the scene with Birchstar.

Much later, after Redstripe witnesses Forestkit's death, Birchstar reveals to her why she's targeting her family. Birchstar explains that Redstripe's father, Snowfoot, killed Icesplash so that he could become deputy, leaving Birchstar and Icesplash wanting to destroy the lives of his family, especially Redstripe.

After Birchstar has attacked Redstripe and left her for dead, she emerges in a field and demands to know where Icesplash was that whole time. It's revealed that they had planned for him to keep Redstripe asleep while Birchstar took Forestkit. Icesplash quickly manifests, telling his mate that he's really sorry, and that Eaglestar found out that he was helping her to kill the kits. He says that StarClan won't let him into the living world anymore, and that he's going to be sent to the Place of No Stars. He tries to explain that he's going to try to do something about it before being cut off by Eaglestar's paw manifesting and dragging him out of the living world. He is then banished to the Dark Forest.

## Killed Victims

*The following is a chronological list of victims that Icesplash has killed:*

* Sparklepaw (Alongside Birchstar)

## Personality

Not a lot is known about Icesplash's personality, but after his death, Icesplash began to spiral down a path of vengeance, becoming cold and manipulative. He's been able to lie his way into the living world multiple times, and adores watching as Snowfoot's family suffers.

## Fun Facts

* Had Icesplash not been killed he would have become leader instead of Birchstar. The pair would remain together, happy, and most likely have kits together.
* In earlier versions of the story, Iceplash had nothing to do with Birchstar's killing spree, and desperately wished for it to end.
Wu-Chang

Template:Infobox character**Wu-Chang** is a character who appears in the Disney Junior animated series *Sofia the First*. He is voiced by Keone Young.

## Role in the Series

He is the Imperial Sorcerer of the Kingdom of Wei-Ling. Many years ago, the Jade Jaguar ravaged Wei-Ling and stole many valuables. Because of this, Emperor Quon dispatched him to deal with the Jaguar. Casting a spell to give himself the ability to talk to animals, Wu-Chang offered 10,000 pieces of treasure in exchange for him remaining in his cave, which the jaguar agreed to. He also learned about the trap the jaguar set for intruders who enter his cave. He also made a map to the Jaguar's cave which was locked away by Quon in a statue of the Jaguar.

In his debut appearance, he entertains the Princesses with magical tea, a trick Amber praises, saying he's better than Cedric. He even shared Sofia's worries for Roland and Quon. When Sofia insisted they go and rescue their families before it was too late, the sorcerer helped them get on their way by giving them explorer hats, showing them a shortcut, and told them about a secret passage that would help them avoid the trap set up by the Jaguar. As the princesses set off, Wu-Chang stayed behind to alert the Imperial Guards.

Wu-Chang reappears in "The Bamboo Kite". He first appears when he tells Sofia and Jin that Jun has the summer sniffles. He offers to cure Jun with some Men-Saing but Emperor Quon brushes him aside for the advice of his Advisor of All Things New. Sofia and Jin later come to him and tell him they are willing to try to cure Jun his way. During the journey to get the Men-Saing, Wu-Chang quickly proves the worth of the old ideas he loves. Thanks to his old ideas and Jin's new gadgets, they are able to get the Men-Saing in time to cure Jun.

Wu-Chang reappears in "Day of the Sorcerers".

## Trivia

* Wu-Chang is remarkably similar to Keone Young's previous Disney character, Luong Lao Shi, with the difference that Lao Shi can turn into a dragon and Wu-Chang can't.

They are later among the various other Halloween Town residents during Jack's town meeting regarding information of Christmas.
Later during the song "Making Christmas" as the Halloween Town residents are making gifts, they were shown creating the vampire Duck Toy along with the Vampire Teddy bear, with the intention of these being toys for the children of Christmas Town to enjoy, unaware of their frightening nature to the children. Along with the other residents, they watch Jack's venturing as Santa Claus over Christmas Town through scrying the town well's waters, and are distraught upon his seeming demise.

Stripper Air

Stripper Air was a flying machine created by obybella for the Stripper Gang. Although flying machines can be made out of very little blocks, Stripper Air was designed to look like a modern commercial airplane, complete with seats and windows. Occupants included Immistake, Andmaster, and obybella. After setting off, it traveled little more than 2,000 blocks before breaking as a result of faulty operating.

Blocks used included concrete, slime and honey blocks, glass, observers, pistons, and glowstone.

There were numerous problems with the machine, including players falling through the floor as well as a finicky stopping mechanism. After stopping 2,000 blocks from its original starting place, the machine broke beyond repair due to a botched start.

After its failure, the aircraft was dismantled for parts, and the occupants flew back to their base. The total flight time was less than 2 hours.

* The server was whitelisted and admins would refuse to whitelist anyone's alt accounts
* Other than that, full griefing, killing, and any other thing you wanted to do was permitted across the entire world.

Queen Camila

Template:Infobox character**Queen Camila** is the Sirena Queen of Coronado and the loving mother of Princess Marisa and Prince Marzel in the Elena of Avalor special, "Song of the Sirenas".

## Background

Many years ago when the Sirenas used to sink human ships. One day however the ship was on sank at the work of the Sirenas and fell tumbling into the ocean drowning .Feeling guilty, Pescoro saved her by wrapping her in magical kelp that turned her into a Sirena, and the two fell in love. Soon after they married and Camilla ascended the the throne she recommended to her husband that the Sirenas never again sank human ships. later on they both had a son and a daughter named Marisa and Marzel.

Due to Camila, being originally human, Marisa and her brother, Marzel, are half-human and half-Sirena, allowing them to turn their tails into legs when they are on land.

## Role in the series

She makes her debut appearance in the special "Song of the Sirenas". She appears alongside her husband King Pescoro Pescoro confronts Marisa about how she was spotted near a human ship. Marisa confirms this and tells her father that she thinks it is time they tell the humans that they have changed. Pescoro tells her he knows her heart is in the right place but the humans despise them for a good reason. Camilla agrees with him and tells her to stay away from the humans.

When Marisa and Marzel then take Elena to met Pescoro for help against Shuriki. Pescoro refuses and tells them about how after the attacks stopped humans thought they were kidnapping Marisa after she used her ability to turn her tail into legs for the first time. He also states that this convinced him that humans will always hate Sirenas for the attacks on their ships and forbade all contacts with humans. Even though Camilla knew her daughter was right her husband had a point too.

After Elena defeats Shuriki for good, she has Cristobal locked up for his treason and forges a new alliance with the Sirenas.

Template:Elena of Avalor
Endgame base

Endgame base was a base built primarily by obybella with help from Immisstake. It was built over 90,000 blocks from spawn, and was designed to have an excess of all essential materials. Although in Stripper gang during the bases creation, obybella would not reveal the coords to the members until after he got the use he needed from the base. It also had a unique teleportation system that allowed a player to be teleported to the base without the need of another player to be there.

## Objectives

Obybella designed the base to be his last base, and with that he created lots of things he normally would not.

### Security

The base location was -47,000 84,500, over 95,000 blocks away from spawn. It was made that far to lower the chance of the base being found by happenstance to a miniscule amount. The portal on the nether roof was also over 1,000 blocks away from the base in the overworld. This was made to convince any player who happened upon the portal to assume that there was nothing in the area. The base was almost never streamed, and especially not to people obybella didn't trust

### Farms

Farms were created to provide an amount of material that would suit multiple people with ease. A creeper farm over twice the regular size was created, as well as a flying machine sugarcane farm. An automated cobblestone farm was created, which could fill multiple double chests of cobble within an hour. An automated raid farm was made, as well as a super smelter. Most importantly, an automated wither skeleton farm was made, which was the only one on the server. This was so important not only because it provided coal for fuel, but because it provided wither skulls, a rare commodity that usually took hours of grinding in order to get a sizeable amount. The farm gave so many skulls that it would be possible to grief a base of any size in mere minutes, and it would also play a role in the event that caused LagCraft's death.

### Transportation

As the base was so far away from spawn, the time it took to travel there was considered more than unreasonable. There was also no one else at the base, meaning that they couldn't manually teleport obybella back. As such, he created his own solution. Using a timer and a chunk loader, teleportation to a location did not need a player to trigger it. Instead, when the timer ran out, the player would be teleported back automatically
Farmers

The farmers was a group created after Shmorgendiggle raided Immisstake and Rapindog on the first day of Lagcraft.

### Members

Members include:

Baebladezz, Immisstake, Obybella, BLK8711

#### Base

The farmers base was quite small, but had everything nessessary for a starter base. This base included a Mine, Enchanting room, Villager room, a zombie XP farm, a melon farm, Sheep farm, sugar cane farm, and a non functional Iron farm. The base was located at -4800, -1800. the base was underground, and was accessible by a hole in the ground.

##### Events

the main event that occurred at Farmers base is when member Obybella accidentally screen shared coords to eZ gang member PotatoeIsTaken. This would lead to Obybella and Immistake making a fake base to Bait eZ gang to the wrong base. But, before eZ gang got to the base, player Shmorgendiggle got to it first.

###### End

The Farmers base was defeated when player Shmorgendiggle used hacks to find the base, and flooded it. Obybella would then quit the server, which lead BLK8711 and Immistake to leave the base. This would make Baebladezz the last player in Farmers, who would then leave to join City base with Immistake and BLK8711.
Immisstake

### Introduction

Immisstake was a very prominent figure in the server, being one of the most active players.

Because of his pacifist nature, Immisstake would be killed more than most other end game players. However, he remained a strong player due to the amount of preparation and time he put into getting extra sets of gear(also because he had operator).

He was usually regarded as someone to watch out for, but not a genuine threat.

#### Bases

Immisstake would start on the server with Rapindog at Rapindogs Plaza, a small shack at a village, but would then be killed by Shmorgendiggle , but then killed Shmorgendiggle right after. He would then move onto Farmers base, where he would stay until the base was griefed again by Shmorgendiggle. Immisstake would then go into a small hole in the middle of nowhere with BLK8711, and then moved to City base. During City Base, Immisstake would make an island about 400 blocks away from the City on a mushroom island, which he called the summer house. This base would remain ungriefed for the entire server. Immisstake would then join Rapindog for a few days, until he was invited to stripper gang. He would stay at the Stripper gang bases until the end of the server.

Immistake is so cool
Slowpokesap

### Introduction

Slowpokesap was a constant threat and menace to most players due to his almost endless amount of bloodlust that rivaled obybella's. Whenever he had the opportunity to attack, grief, or kill anyone, he would take it. After truces, before truces, and even during truces.

He was a figure surrounded by controversy as many people disliked him within the community. He would lose his control when he ran out of allies, near the end of lagcraft.

Additionally, he did not prepare any backup bases, nor many backup sets of gear. This resulted in his downfall towards the end of the server, as after his base fell, he would be continuously killed until he ran out of gear and had to restart from scratch.

#### Legacy

Slowpokesaps legacy was not small. Slowpokesap would stay as a top player in the Lagcraft ecosystem, and was a prominent crystal PVPer. His eZ gang was the most powerful gang in Lagcraft from start to mid-January 2020, and was probably the most feared player during his reign.
Obybella

Obybella was the creator and leader of Stripper gang as well as the catalyst for the end of the server. He was well known for betraying and killing almost anyone he saw, which resulted in him being the most wealthy player in the late game. Hours were sunk into the game a day on average, and obybella was in many different groups throughout the lifetime of the server
Hard gang

Hard gang was a gang started by Shmorgendiggle as an opposition to eZ gang. It was considered the weakest out of the 3 main gangs.

### Members

There were usually only 2 members. These were mainly Shmorgendiggle and catgirluwu, and obybella. obybella left approximately 1 week after the start of Lagcraft. Later on, Shmorgendiggle attempted to recruit Slowpokesap, the leader of eZ gang. this deal was supposed to combine eZ gang and Hard gang to create Medium Gang, but Slowpokesap ended up declining. Doopdop was a part of hard gang, until he was killed by an iron golem at the 4th base and never came back. Baebladezz, after the fall of city base, tried to join Hard Gang, but never did anything for hard gang.

#### Bases

There have been multiple times where Hard gang was griefed to the ground by opposing gangs. the First base was about 700 blocks from spawn, but was griefed by eZ gang. The second base was turned into City base, Because Shmorgendiggle got banned and rapindog, the leader of City base, took the base. the 4th base was greifed by Slowpokesap and obybella, which was an undeveloped base 30k from spawn. the 5th base was greifed by stripper gang and eZ gang. the 6th and final base was not greifed during the span of Lagcraft.

##### 5th base

The 5th base was debatably the most important base out of all Hard gang bases. The base was located at -5900, -7600, and was greifed on 1/26/2021. The main grief was putting the storage room in a lava cast, and then putting 2 withers in the room. one wither was named eZ gang on top, and the other stripper gang on top. the eZ gang wither would later be killed by Hard Gang for a nether star. A sign saying stripper and eZ was made in the sky.

The Articles Of Confederation

### Introduction

One of the earliest groups made by Oreoblade, Thecrazybone, Doopdop, and Andmaster.

This group was one of the strongest groups at the start as they were one of the first groups to get maxed out gear.

However, this group was soon bored of playing this game as they were also grinding Skyblock so they took a hiatus from playing on the server.

They returned once in a while to go to fight night, but when Slowpokesap killed Andmaster after the first fight night, the base created by the group was completely griefed.

This ended up with the splitting of the group as Thecrazybone and Oreoblade never continued playing on the server consistently and Doopdop barely advanced either.

However, the last group member Andmaster, who had been killed and looted for all his gear, played on after quitting Skyblock and eventually joined Stripper Gang.

### Monumental Moments

#### The Great Raid

The Great Raid was the first raid to happen. While on their way to get to their new base, the members of the Articles of Confederation thought it was a good idea to start a raid. This, however, was not a good idea. They were going into a raid that was in hard mode during the night with nothing but iron armor. Because of the difficulty, almost every mob there could kill them in one hit. This was even worse as there were tons of mobs spawning throughout the night. After flooding the chat with death after death, they finally pulled through after three long hours with the strategy of using lava buckets to burn the ravagers to death. This resulted in the group to be the first to get a totem of undying.
Audience Tone and Purpose

### Learning Intention

To develop an understanding that texts are crafted to make an audience think, feel, believe or act in a certain way

### Success Criteria

* I can identify the target audience of a persuasive text
* I can create a response for a specific target audience
* I can determine what a writer's purpose may be in a particular text
* I can identify tone in a persuasive piece
* I can discuss how the tone of a piece changes the way an audience might react

## Lessons

Lesson 1 - Target Audience

Lesson 2 - Tone

Lesson 3 - Purpose
Supporting Arguments

***What's the difference between a contention and an opinion? An argument!***

***The idea of an argument often conjures up images of two people yelling and screaming in anger. In writing, however, an argument is very different. An argument is a reasoned opinion supported and explained by evidence. To argue in writing is to advance knowledge and ideas in a positive way. Written arguments often fail when they employ ranting rather than reasoning.***

***A persuasive text will usually employ two or more supporting arguments in order to convince the audience to agree with the writer's contention.***

## Your Turn

***Read the article above and then answer the following questions in your workbook or laptop.***

**1.  What is the issue being explored in this article?**

Plastic straws

**2.  What is the author, Simone Lee’s, contention on this issue?**

Plastic straws should stop being used and be replaced with more eco friendly straws like bamboo straws due the impact plastic straws do to the sea and its marine life

**3.  What are the supporting arguments used by the author in this piece?**

The supporting arguments used by the author in this piece are the following:

1. Marine scientists have found innocent turtles choking on plastic straws and dead sea birds with stomachs full of straws that they have mistaken for food. Environmental groups say Australians use about 10 million straws every day, or 3.5 billion a year. That means millions and millions of straws that are ending up in the ocean, infesting the water like a horrible disease!
2. The picture of the dead whale filled with plastic cups and straws inside, signifying the impact of what plastic can do to innocent marine life.

**4.  Do you think this is an effective piece of persuasive writing? Why or why not?**

I think that the writing was effective as the author not only described the impacts of plastic on the ocean and its marine life but also recommended ways to substitute plastic straws, for example when the author mentions using paper or bamboo straws as substitutes, telling people how can they substitute =, potentially influencing people to listen and make a change

***Brainstorm as many supporting arguments as possible for both sides of the following topics:***

**·        Students would be able to record others behaving badly and would help teachers catch students who done the wrong thing.**
Tone

***Tone refers to an author’s use of words and writing style to convey their attitude towards a topic. Tone is often defined as what the author feels about the subject. What the reader feels is known as the mood.***

***Tone is conveyed through diction (choice and use of words and phrases), viewpoint, syntax (grammar; how you put words and phrases together), and level of formality. It is the way you express yourself in speech or writing.***

***Tone words can be grouped into the categories below***

* ***Positive***
* ***Negative***
* ***Neutral***

## Your Turn

1. **Sort the following list of tone words into negative, positive and neutral. For each list, add three more of your own tone words**

***2. Identify the different tones in the following examples:***

 The principal just called to say that our son was in a fight. I can’t believe he would do that.
 Why is that weirdo calling me after all this time?
 I’m so glad that jerk was fired; now I won’t have to deal with him anymore
 It’s terrible that Tony was let go; he was such a great colleague!
 You can only watch infantile humor for so long before you want to punch yourself in the face.

***3. Write a sentence to create a POSITIVE and NEGATIVE tone pairing for the following:***

**Example - wearing the school uniform correctly:**

Positive - It is terrific that you wear the correct uniform every day.

Negative - You never wear the correct uniform to school.

4. ***Go back and re-read the article 'Rap Lyrics on Trial' from the Pathos, Logos, Ethos lesson. What is the tone of this piece? What words have the authors used to create this tone?***
Shmorgendiggle

### Introduction

Shmorgendiggle was always a lone wolf in the server. He never had any allies, and when he did have allies, he was always being tricked or soon to be betrayed.

Despite being on his lonesome for almost the entire duration of the server, he was still a prominent figure. Even though he was banned from the very start of the server for hacking, he got unbanned and spent most of his time building farms or training in crystal pvp.

He was very susceptible to trickery and betrayal, being killed from backstabs and tricks. He also attempted building many times with each attempt resulting with him being tricked into giving building permissions to a griefer and getting his build destroyed.

What Are Persuasive Language Techniques?

***We have already covered the ways in which speakers and writers try to achieve their purpose through the presentation of their ideas in a particular way.***

***If the purpose is to persuade people that a particular argument is legitimate, the use of language which appeals to a reader's logical reasoning is a straightforward way of doing this. It is also generally a very effective approach also, becuase if people can understand the reasoning behind an argument, they are far more likely to accept what is being said and be persuaded to agree. In addition to this approach, authors use a range of other techniques to influence and position an audience in particular ways. It is your job, as the analyst to understand the point of view being presented, and to identify and analyse the ways in which verbal and non-verbal language is being used to influence and position audiences.***

***In order to do this, you will need to identify particular language choices, (and use these as evidence), as well as explaining how these choices work to support and develop the author's point of view.***

***Metalanguage is the term given to the words and phrases that we use to discuss language (metalanguage is language about language!) Many of the language choices that authors make when persuading an audience has a particular name, as well as having generally consistent purposes and effects. Below is a comprehensive list of these terms, however it is more important that you are able to understand the purpose and effect of these language choices, than it is for you to remember all of the different names.***

## Your Turn

***Persuasive language includes the use of emotional and logical appeals. Identify whether the following are appealing primarily to logic (L) or the emotions (E) of the reader:***

* using facts and statistics
* exaggeration
* confronting or offensive language
* sensationalism
* humor
* offering solutions
* quoting someone in a position of authority
* attacking the opposing side
* making comparisons

***Choose from the list below to identify the technique being employed in each of the examples in the table. Use your own knowlege to consider some of the potential effects of each technique on the audience, and then refer to the metalanguage table if you require support. The first one has been done for you as an example. Every technique will be used.***

Slickwell

Template:Infobox character
**Slickwell** is the main antagonist in the *Sofia the First* episode "Baileywhoops". He was the Steward of Rudistan, serving under King Magnus, and gave Baileywick a cursed pin that put a clumsiness curse on him in an attempt to steal his job as Castle Steward.

## Role in the Series

Slickwell appeared at Enchancia Castle for the kingdom's Jubilee with King Magnus. He gave Baileywick a cursed pin called Pin of Klutzenheimer so Baileywick would be very clumsy with everything, ultimately retiring so Slickwell could steal his job. When Sofia and Clover found out about the cursed pin, Sofia told Clover to make sure Slickwell didn't get away with it. Clover put the pin on Slickwell's coattails to give him "a taste of his own medicine." When Sofia told her parents and everyone else about Slickwell's plot against Baileywick and the cursed pin, everyone was furious with him. Slickwell told King Roland he couldn't fire him because he worked for King Magnus, but that was until Magnus himself stepped forward and instantly fired him. Slickwell was escorted to the castle gates by the guards and thrown out before vowing to return, but ended up falling flat on his face due to the pin still being stuck to him.

part 2 Modifying task

 We offer you a totally normal holiday experience. The views are kind of boring, the accommodation is a bit nicer than being at home and the food is alright, but not as good as what your mum makes.
 If you add the stuff in this bottle to your cooking and you use ingredients that aren't totally gross and stale you'll end up with some food that tastes ok, I guess?
Target Audience

***The audience of a text refers to anyone reading, viewing or listening to a persuasive text. The creator of a text will always have a particular audience in mind before they write their text.***

***Why do you think it's so important for a writer to know who their target audience is before they begin to write?***

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyH79KQET5E&feature=emb\_logo

***When identifying a target audience, we have to ask ourselves "who cares about this?" By working out which groups of people are most likely to care about an issue, we can write in a way that specifically hooks their attention and positions them to feel, think, believe or react in the way we want them to. It also helps us to understand how another person's writing has been put together, and what that person might be trying to achieve.***

1. ***Match each of the articles below with their most likely target audience***

 poster encouraging the audience to read a book a week for one month
 A letter informing the audience of vaccine requirements for primary school students
 A YouTube video attempting to convince the audience to join a rally demanding tougher penalties for hit-run drivers

2. ***Read the article below and then answer the following questions***

* **What is the issue being discussed in this article?**

The horses are being abused and are dying from getting whipped multiple times that cause multiple injuries such as shattered legs.

* **What is the writer's contention?**

The writer's contention is to inform the readers about the cruelties horses face and their impact upon the horses

* **Which groups of people are likely to be interested in this article?**

People who think that the Melbourne Cup is a good thing

* **Who is the target audience?**

The target audience are people who watch the melbourne cup and think it is a good race

3. ***Write two short persuasive pieces (100-150 words each) speaking about whether or horse racing should be banned. One piece should be directed to animal rights activists who believe horse racing is cruel, and the other written for people who enjoy watching horse racing.***
What is persuasive language analysis

### ***Putting out thinking together***

***aving a strategy to help you to move beyond the 'shopping list' approach to analysis (that is, simply identifying as many techniques as you can spot in a piece of writing) is vital. Reading your persuasive language piece, with a particular focus on tone can often force you to identify the way in which the author has constructed their persuasive opinion.***

***One strategy that we can begin to use to help us to organise our analysis is to use the acronym TEEA. This acronym stands for Tone, Examples (of language), Effect (of language), Analysis (of authors intentions or purpose).***

***Complete the following exercises, using TEEA to develop your view of the intended effect of the persuasive language.***

***Alternatives to Tone, Example, Effect and Analysis are:***

***ADEAR - Argument, Device, Example, Analysis and Response of Audience or***

***SPEAR - Sub contention, Persuasive device/technique, Example, Analysis, Response of Audience***

**You can select any of these to complete the following task.**

### **Task 2**

***Download a copy of the article below and answer the questions within using the skills that you have already learnt this term.***
