Activity 1-A house or a home?
For today's activity we were told about what an old Maori village looked like and it was called a "pa". They all were made up of many buildings and each building played a significant role, for example what we would call a kitchen had a building and this name for it was kauta. We were asked if the image below looked like our current home and it was partly the same but with a different look.
Our assignment was to explain 2 similarities and 2 differences between a wharepuni(below) and a modern house. The two similarities is they both have a roof that covers the whole house and without this the rain would get in! They both have A windows for the circulation of the air and especially when it is a hot day for the cold breeze. The two differences are that modern-day houses have double glazed windows whereas even if they had a window it would only be made with one layer of glass. Lastly, another major difference is how they were made for example the old types of houses were mainly made only out of wood but nowadays it can range from wood, metal, brick and glass!
Activity 2-The rules of engagement
We were told about how back in the early years of New Zealand that the men were expected to do all the outside work and the women were to look after their children inside of the house. We were then instructed to draw a picture of us in our dream job and my dream job is to become a professional youtuber like showing gameplay and gaming tutorials. I would like to be one so I can share my experience with the world and I like the challenge of editing my videos and recording them in the first place. I like to engage with my viewers and all the possibilities are endless!
Bonus Activity-Special Meals
We were told that in the 1800s Maori ate a simple diet and that they would only eat what could either have been caught or grown by water or land. In those days there were no restaurants around so it was really up to you on what you would eat and how much you would eat! I was asked what my favourite meal was and how could I resist Lasagna that my mum makes! It is my favourite because of the creaminess of the white sauce and the nice mince makes it a perfect mix! Here is the link to the recipe my family uses and try give it a go yourself: http://edmondscooking.co.nz/recipes/pasta/beef-lasagne/
Hi there Cameron
ReplyDeleteGreat work on your blog post! I liked reading your explanations on the similarities and differences, you made it very clear for each point and the images you used in the activity really help support your comparisons. Well done!
Cool idea of being a YouTuber! I’ve got family member who are aspiring to be gaming YouTubers as well. Who’s your favourite YouTube gamer? It will be challenging with editing videos and constant posting but it all gets easier with practice! Keep at it with the editing practice and maybe you might be the next big thing in gaming.
With your bonus activity, that’s awesome how it’s your mum’s lasagna; my mum makes an awesome lasagna too! No one can resist the deliciousness that is lasagna. Have you ever tried making the lasagna for the family yourself? I’ve tried making my mums recipe but it never turns out as well as hers!
Looking forward to hearing from you and keep up the awesome blogging.

Hi Jade
DeleteYes being a youtuber sounds cool and it is good for the youtuber because they can even get paid for having fun and sharing out to the community! I don't really have a favourite gamer but I do occasionally watch one or two on a game tutorial. My Mum has tried teaching me but I am not really a great cook! But with practice I can do it!
Thanks, Cameron
