Technology - Food Tech (No.2)

Last week for technology we had food tech with Mrs Tuipulotu.

We learnt to follow and understand the following instructions given to make pita bread. First off, we sliced all the vegetables and put it aside. Then, we cut open the bread and started cooking the eggs. Once we finished making the eggs we arranged the ingredients into the bread and then enjoyed!

Technology - Food Tech

Today for technology we had food tech with Mrs Tuipulotu.

We had to learn, follow, and understand the following instructions given to make nachos. First of all we had to slice the onion and fry until soft. Then add the mince and cook until it's brown. Once brown, add all the sauces and baked beans as well as cheese once it's ready. Then, serve it on a plate with corn chips and enjoy!

Tittle: Two girls ago

My rating: 7/10

Author: Lucie Brock-Broido

Summary:
The poem itself is very simple and easy. I think i'ts trying to tell us a teenage girl's/boy's life with their parents in it telling her/him to follow rules they have given her/him. I think the parents are very protective of the teenager, but it also says " No threat, In the table of contents i'm not dead yet ". I think the parents are trying to tell her/him they haven't died yet, they still control and tell you what to and not to do.

Can you hear that - Summary

For the past 2 weeks we have been reading the book Can you hear that. It is a book about sound, how sound is produced, and how animals hear sound differently from us humans. Down below i have written a summary about how animals hear sound.

My Summary:
Animals hear sound differently from humans. In this text i learnt snakes send low-frequency sound vibrations through their bones to their inner ear and crickets have eardrums on their knees. I also read dog’s have a much higher hearing range from humans, there eardrums are thinner than ours and are vibrated by smaller high-frequency sound waves. The smaller the animal the higher their hearing range is.

Tittle: Be More Like Sputnik Monroe

My rating: 8/10

Author: W. Todd Kaneko

Summary:
The poem itself i think is trying to say be more like your role model. It's about a man's father who passed away and left him a trove of video tapes. The video tapes were of Sputnik Monroe and his mother, who had left them for parts unknown. The tapes were his parents life story of wrestling and bad crimes. His mother once pulled up a fight in a truck stop and stabbed a man with her middle finger, then moved away and left it for her husband to fight him.

Facts: Sputnik Monroe is a famous american wrestler who had passed away in 2006. He was a headliner in many territories, and was best known in Memphis, Tennessee.
