Home Economics: Mie Goreng

This week at Home Economics we cooked an Asian dish that included noodles which was the main ingredient. The dish included noodles, cabbage, meat and carrot if you wanted it. I packed the food for home and when I got home and tried it, I didn't really like it because of the plain taste and the vegetables since I don't like eating vegetables. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos but I have the picture of the recipe.

Technology: Candle Holder

Last week we made this candle holder which can also hold a match box in the middle. Mr. Rzoka taught us how it make it and also it was another easy design to make which took less than an hour. 

It was one of those simple and useful tools and this would come in handy when there is a blackout.

English: Merchant of Venice - Act Two Scene 7 - Scene 9

Act Two Scene 7

1. Price of Morocco thinks that the golden casket contains Portia's portrait because on the golden casket it says "He who chooses me will get what many men want." Also the Prince of Morocco thinks that the other caskets, silver and lead isn't worth Portia.

2. She feels confident that the Prince of Morocco won't pick the correct one and she is right. At the end she doesn't feel nervous at all because she knows he isn't going to choose the right casket.

3. I think Shylock (Jessica's Father) is trying to get rid of men who is greedy for Jessica and making them not able to marry anymore so there are less people like that. It seems like it's working since everybody has chosen the wrong one so far.

Act Two Scene 8

1. Jessica left Shylock and stole his ducats (Money) in the form of jewellery.

2. Shylock thinks that Jessica and Lorenzo are in Bassaino's ship

3.  Bassaino and Antonio part by having Bassaino checking on a rumour that a ship full of treasure sunk in the english channel.

Act Two Scene 9

1. I think it's a riddle trying to trick greedy people and maybe some idiots as well so they don't get their hands on Portia.

2. The Prince of Arragon thinks that the phrase on the golden casket is a trick because it says "What many men desire" and he thinks the "many" are fools or he thinks it just money.

3. I guess Portia is excited for Bassaino's arrival and I think she wants Bassaino to choose the right casket.

What am I learning.

I'm learning how to use information from a book and then use that information to answer questions given by my teacher.

How does this work show my learning.

I write down what I think the answer is to the questions after getting information from the book.

What am I wondering.

Is the future questions going to be more difficult. 

Science: Microscoping Onions

This week at science we had to microscope the transparent parts of the onions. I got into a group of four and we found out that on the transparent part there are still bits of water we can't see since it's microscopic.

Also we looked at phones and when we looked at the screen with the microscope it turns it there are pixels making the colours

What have I learned.

I learnt that there are things that you don't expect to be in

How do I show my Learning

I write down what I learnt and what I've discovered

What am I wondering.

What happens if you microscope onto things that are moving.

Technology: Mu Terore

This term at Tech with one of our Technology Teachers, Mr Rzoka. We made a Maori board game called Mu Torere, it was simple to make and entertaining to play. It's a one on one game where you have to try and use your four pegs to block the opposing player so they can't move which means you win. 

Home Economics: Chilli Con Carne

This week at Home Economics we made Chilli Con Carne with rice. I didn't really like the food because all I could really taste was the chilli beans and the rice was like mashed potato.

Positives:

• Easy to make
• Mince was okay
• It smells good

Negatives:

• Tastes bad
• Took forever to clean
• Rice was bad
• Had to stay in for 8 Minutes cleaning

Overall

I think it was a good food if we had ate it when it was still warm.

We could've cleaned up faster if everybody help.

Act Two Scene Six

1. Launcelot talks to Shylock then quickly whispers to Jessica that there will be a Christian worth a Jewess glance outside the window.

2. A box of treasure like full of jewellery.

3. For the masquerade and everybody is looking for him

Act Two Discussion Questions

 1. In A2S2 Launcelot states the house is like hell so I believe the both of them want to escape because the house is like a prison since Jessica got locked in her room, or in other words freedom

2. Shylock talks to Jessica like she's precious to him since he's kind of being overprotective to Jessica.

3. Shylock basically says to Jessica don't leave the house or look at the window when Launcelot planned a escape for Jessica already also Jessica wants to escape the house.
