Narrative Planning

In English we planned our narrative that we are writing for our English assessment .
WE planned it on prezi  and we wrote are first draft.
Here is the link to my prezi https://prezi.com/p/w591la8q_5fk/
Here is my first draft.
Draft 1
I wake up to the sound of my dog echo barking. “Well I survived another night in this wasteland” I think to myself. Echo jumps onto my lap and starts to bark. “Fine I’ll feed you” Echo jumps onto the ground and goes out side. I grab her food and go outside. Echo is not there I call to her a couple of times but she doesn’t come. It's not like her to ignore food so I go investigate but before i know it i’m falling through a black void. The ground comes faster than expected but it didn’t hurt but there's echo peeing on a tree I look at her then she starts to bark and run into an open field. I run after her when i catch up echo is sniffing another dog  it is black with a white stripe down its face. I walk out to get echo but I see a girl standing there she seems scared so I raise my arms and move towards her she looks innocent. I ask her “where am I?”
she replied by saying “You are on my farm trespassing so state your business or get lost”
I apologise. “It is fine” she replies “but who are you?”
I tell her that “I am logan this is my dog Echo and I came  from a world where a massive disaster took place and that I fell through a hole and landed here. She was a bit curious at first but I think she believes it. “Who are you I ask” “Mary Kimberly Rice and this is my dog Tiny “ she replies. We go back to her house to find and smoking pile of ash. I try to tell her who did this but I don’t think she heard me. “ This has to the work of the slimy son of a weasel David” “What are you babbling on about?” she asks me. “I know who did this” “WELL LET'S GO KILL HIM!!!!! She screams angrily. “Ok... are you sure?” “Deadly” she replies “When do we leave?” She asks. “Now?” I reply.  How do we get there? I don’t know I reply How about we check where I fell out of. We walk to roughly were i fell out of. Our dogs are acting like their best friends or something. Well here it is. Lets go Mary says hesitantly. Stop are you sure that you want to do this it could be dangerous?
I have nothing to go back to. Ok let's go then we jump in with the dogs following close behind us. It doesn’t take too long to arrive but Mary takes a little longer but it is her first time. We land on a island in space and time. We start to look around a  big cloud of dust appears for like two seconds as the cloud goes away a figure appears he is a normal looking man in a suit holding a briefcase. The dogs start barking crazily. YOU PILE OF POO. Mary screams and she starts to run at him. I have to grab her to stop her from getting killed.  Let me kill him she screams. “Oh yes please just made it quik and let me have some last words here are some I prepared earlier” the man says with a stupid smirk on his face pulling a sheet of paper out of his pocket. I stand there out of shock. The man starts laughing hysterically. When he was distracted Mary walked up and punched him right in the jaw. He gets knocked back YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT he wails. He snps open his briefcase and pulls out a nickel plated colt 1911 and points it at Mary Be careful with that you could kill someone. That's the general ideas the man says. While this was happening I walk up behind him point a desert eagle to his head and ask would you like to volunteer. So how about those last words? You wouldn’t dare! I live in a apocalypse try me. So I pull the trigger. David falls to the ground and evaporates. Out of the dust a ghostly figure fly out and says Thank you for freeing me now can finally reunite with my true love I’M COMING KARMA!!! And she flys away.The island starts to fall apart and another hole opens up we jump in before there is nothing left to jump of. We arrive back in Mary's dimension. “Sorry you couldn’t get back to your dimension”
“That's ok i like it here anyway”

Over the next month we rebuild Mary's farm to its former glory. With my apocalyptic life behind me we lived happily ever after with Tiny's and Echos puppies until we died.

Cooking method used yesterday was stir-frying 
This means the pan is on a high heat and the veggies are cooked for a short period of time.
We know the chicken is cooked when its white and the colour of the juice and the internal temp is over 70
The nutrients we got from the practical yesterday were carbohydrates, vitamins and protein.
Vitamin A Helps vision
Carbohydrates Energy
Protein Growth
This type of cooking is unhealthy because we coated everything in peanut butter and oil.

Interland Quick-Tips

Introduction
Hi guys welcome back to my blog. Over the past few weeks in DTE we have been studying Interland and its four levels  about internet safety.

DLO
Interland game/Interactive

Reflection
Interland has 4 basic levels that teach us how to be internet safe. The levels are Mindful mountain, Kind kingdom, Reality river and Tower of treasure.

Mindful mountain is a level that teaches you the basics of sharing and be careful about what you share and who you share it with. The game play was you bouncing a lazer (post) of mirrors and to your targets. The objective wasn't to hard to reach and it is easy to play.

Kind kingdom is the level that teaches you that being kind is good and that spreading kindness is easy but a good thing to do. It also says that you should report bullies and how to keep the internet free from bullies. Your objective is to spread kindness and stop bullies in a side scrolling plat former.

Reality river helps you understand fraud and fake how to realise if something is fake. I t makes you chose the right option that is not the fake and helps you learn which is and isn't fake. The game play is easy and simple to learn but the colours aren't to great and also the game play is quite boring but other wise it is an okay level.

Tower of treasure teaches you the importance of have safe and secure passwords to keep your information safe from hackers. This level has you running round trying to collect letters and numbers for your password. I liked the basic goal and the easy controls.

Overall this game has interesting levels good messages, awesome graphics and an overall good fell.

SST Slave trade paragraphs

Over the first weeks a t school we have learnt about the slave trade triangle.

Warning if you are sensitive to this topic please do not go further.

Paragraph 1: The first passage 

The first passage is a cruel reality that slaves faced back in the 1600-1865. The slaves would be sold and loaded on to boats by the Europeans and taken on horrible voyages. On the trip they would die, be feed slop and made to dance to stay fit. That is why the slave trade triangle is horrible and cruel but the plantations were just as bad.

Paragraph 2: What was the plantation like.

The plantation were brutal and cruel. After the slaves were sold they would be bought back to the owners place and would be made to work for no pay and were hurt. They would be branded, whipped and forced to live in inhumane conditions. That is what the slaves faced at plantations after the already horrible voyage.

Cooking Burger Reflection

Yesterday we cooked burgers in Home EC
 This is the recipe.

Basic Hamburger Recipe


Ingredients - Serves 4
• 250g lean beef or lamb mince
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 egg
• 1cup soft white breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tsp oil

Method
1. Mix the mince, onion, egg, breadcrumbs and seasonings
together.
2. Using wet hands shape into 4 flat patties of equal size.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan, add patties and cook for about 5
minutes each side or until cooked through.

4. Serve between buns or bread with desired fillings.
We were careful with the knifes by not stabbing or dangerously cutting
anything and we cooked it properly by making sure it was raw.
It is not okay to eat raw patties because bacteria can make us sick.
To avoid cross contamination we keep the meat and the veges separate so the meat couldn't contaminate the veges.
