Who is in your group? Just myself, Maia

What is each group member doing? -Me and Maia, are doing piano together.

What is the name of the song? -Say something 

Who is the song written and performed by?- INA AXEL,CHAD VACCARINO and MIKE CAMPBELL

What is the song about?- I guess it's about this girl and they were in a relationship and he just give up on eveything but ig t's telling you not give up and use your voice while you have it. The main reason why they did that song because they want them to know it's okay to be okay. 

What is going to the challenging about this piece? - Me and Maia don't really know how to play piano so it's going to be a bit hard to get the song perfect so we pass our assesment.

I hope you like it:)

Parihaka

 Hi there,

This week for Social Studies we are learning about Parihaka. I really enjoy working on this parihaka 5 November 1881 Parihaka was invaded on 5 November 1881. The following day of arrests and looting is known as Te Rā o te Pāhua – the day of plunder. Here is some questions i'm going to answer about this song.

What is the main message of this song?

They are not going give up, parihaka belong to them and they have the right to be there.

What line explains their passive resistance method?

I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain.

I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.

What does ‘you can’t pull out the roots’ refer to?

You can't take my background, who my acestors were, they are who I am at the end of the day.

Give evidence of their determination?

"Never give in, look to the sky, the sprirt Te Whiti". 

Don't make yourself suffer, Get out there and look to the sky where the sprirt Te Whiti is.

How does this song show the significance of Parihaka?

It's telling you about parihaka and people have suffer but never give in and always keep trying.

What makes an event Significant?

If it affects large numbers of people and is remembered for ages and still affects people centuries after.

How many people are affected?

All those that live in New Zealand and a lot of people throughout the world as Parihaka sparked other peaceful protests.

How long were people affected?

People will be affected for centuries.

To what extent are people affected?

Parihaka was home to people. Having that taken from them would really affect them and a few people died there.

Language Features - English

Today this blog post will be about what I have been doing in English. We started our first topic Creative Writing. In Creative Writing we got assigned tasks to complete once a week. I started working on Language Features. In this task we had to choose three terms that we don't already know and research the definition, an example and the effect of each of them. I displayed this in a slideshow and I hope you learn something from this.

Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is the process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. Such a word itself is also called an onomatopoeia. Common onomatopoeias include animal noises such as "oink", "meow", "roar" and "chirp.

Personification

Personification is a type of metaphor and a common literary tool. It is when you assign the qualities of a person to something that isn't human or that isn't even alive, such as nature or household items. 

AlliterationIn 

Literature, alliteration is the conspicuous repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in successive or closely associated syllables within a group of words, even those spelled differently. As a method of linking words for effect, alliteration is also called head rhyme or initial rhyme. 

Anaphora

The use of a word referring back to a word used earlier in a text or conversation, to avoid repetition, for example the pronouns he, she, it, and they and the verb do in I like it and so do they.

Allusion

Allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly. It is left to the audience to make the direct connection. 

Thankyou for reading my lanuguage Features.

Slave Trade Triangle & Spirituals - Social Studies

 Hi There,

This week for Social Studies we have been learning about the Slave Trade Triangle. That ocurred between the last 16th and 19th century. Back then, the slavery was a big thing in the Americas. They could take people from western Africa to work with them and without them payment, they just do it to exchange there goals.

How exaclty were African enslaved? They all kipnap them and put them on this ship. They had to lied down side to side, very close to each other so they had no presonal place back then! They had no food no drinks or even going to the toilet. It's sad to see that happen back then, According to researches and scientists, approximately 12.5 million Africans were enslaved in the Americas.

This is my link to to the passage around the countries as well just information about all of it.

What happens in Human Trafficking? The most common reason why human trafficking happens is for adultery, even children, they are sold for their bodies. But we must stand together against a torture and unfair treatment others do to one. He is known for escaping and freeing enslaved people. She conducted Underground Railroads from South America to Northern States or to Canada, it was for the slaves to escape to territories where they could be free.

 In Africa, the use of music is important and valued, back when slavery was a thing, they use music as a way to pass messages and to escape from being slave-captive. They are called the "Spirituals". One of the spiritual songs used was "Wade in the water". 

Here is the song:

This Wade in the water is another way of saying walk on the water to point out to get off the ship and into the water because as stated earlier, going through the water makes the dogs not be able to track them.     

What is sad that slaverys still happens up today and I wish it never ever happened. We need to STOP SLAVERYS.

I hope you learn something about my blog post. I hope you thought it was interesting!
