Aggressive to Assertiveness |

Today in wananga time we have been talking about aggressiveness and assertiveness. Basically, we had to pick a partner and tell them a story of you being aggressive or someone being aggressive to you and tell them how you or them act. One of the stories that I told my partner was when I was being aggressive to my brother when my mum told one of us to do a favour. When I said that it actually made me sad because he didn't say anything and maybe next time I should've said it more politely. 

Then we discussed how we can calm our selves down from the situation. There were two things that made me act more politely on the whiteboard which was to act sarcastic/smile when they are acting aggressive or stop and think before what I say. This made me regret all the words that I said aggressively to people.  

Here are some examples:

Question of the day: What would you do when someone is acting aggressive to you?

Burger recipe | Cooking |

 Howdy bloggers, 

Welcome back to my blog. In this blog post, I will share you what we have been doing in our cooking lesson. So this term we have been doing the cooking as our tech, basically every Thursday to Friday we have a tech lesson. 

So our was to make a burger for each of us in our group. Step one we discuss all the ingredients that we need and get all the types of equipment that we needed. And then we mixed all our ingredients into a bowl to make the patties. After that, we leave the patties for one day and come back for it tomorrow. And the last part for that day was to tick all the ingredients for our burgers. So after we came back for the patties we press it first to get out all the moisture. After that, we put them in the oven for 25 minutes roughly. When we were waiting for that we sliced our bun in half. Then we put sauce on the bottom of the bun, not the curved side. Then the patties were cooked and we put the patties on our bun, we placed all the ingredients that we want for our burgers on our buns. Last, of all, we served it on a small plate, and it was ready to eat. 

It tasted so delicious may be better than other fast food because of the patties had different flavours on it. The texture of the patties was hard on the outside but soft when you bite into it. The Burger looked buff because of all the toppings we put on our burgers. 

here is the recipe if you want to make your own:

Wananga| Deep Compliments

Hello readers, 

Welcome back to my blog. In this blog post, I will share to you about what we have been doing in Wananga. 

So we were focusing on giving people deep compliments, not surface compliments. A deep compliment is about their personality and a surface compliment is their appearance. 

So our task was to decorate our piece of paper and do whatever we want. We needed to write deep compliments to each student that makes them feel loved. And they had to write deep compliments on our work. When I was reading the compliments that each student wrote on my work it made me feel astonished, loved and joyful because of how they think about me and what my personality was, It really made me feel amazed about myself. 

When I was writing my deep compliments to each student I was so excited and think about being appreciated. "It was very fun writing deep compliments to each other".

Here is my work with deep compliments:

(By the way, this is not finished yet)

Drama (Manologue)

Hello bloggers, 

Welcome back to my blog. In this blog post, I will show you what we have been doing in Drama. 

So in today session, I will be showing you my monologue that I picked. This monologue is about basketball therapy and I picked this because I like basketball and it's my favourite sport. 

 Here is my Monologue:

I don't need therapy! I don't need to be here. I'm not insane, I'm Linsane. As in I've got "a condition" called Linsanity! And anyone in their right mind who has seen point guard Jeremy Lin do his thing on the basketball court would have it too!

That's what my mom and sister don't get. That's why they wanted me to come talk to you. But I don't need to be here. I'm only here because my mom caught me talking about Jeremy Lin at my father's wake.

Please don't forget to leave a comment on my blog and make sure it is positive, helpful and thoughtful. 

Question of the day: 

What kind of monologue do you like/like reading?

Speaking my Truth (Drama)

Hello bloggers,

Welcome back to my blog. In this blog post, I will tell you what we did in our drama subject for year 7 and 8 class. We call it speaking my truth.

First, we played copy the circle, we did this to act out and express the actions. Basically, the game works by picking a leader for doing the actions and choose a person who will guess who the leader is. The second game we played is 7 up, it's about to express our actions and be confident doing it. It's an easy game to play it's just when you say the number seven you are out. The third game that I enjoyed was the statue, this game is about action and stillness. It's a fun game to play you just need to pick a stance to freeze for a long time and you need a person who will be it and if they see you move you're out. The last one is tequila, It's about listening and actions. The game works when someone says Tequila you have to move any direction you want. 

Question of the day:

What do you think the best game to play and why?

Hope you enjoyed my blog post and be sure to comment also "have a good day".
