Te Tiriti O Waitangi Response To Text

 RESPONSE TO TEXT (ARTICLE)

Title of Article: Te Tiriti O Waitangi 

Author of Article: Ross Calman

1. What was the article about? Write a 30 word summary of the article.

The article Te Tiriti O Waitangi is about the history of the treaty and also about how the British came to New Zealand and tried to take over the land and how they had to sign the treaty to bring peace between them.

2. What do you think the author’s purpose for writing this article was?

The Author's purpose was to talk about the history and what happened during that time, between the British and the Maori.

3. Identify 3 new words that you are unfamiliar with. Find the definition, and use the word in a sentence

WORD	DEFINITION	SENTENCE
Dishonest	Intended to mislead or cheat	He was being a dishonest leader.
Unruly	Disorderly or distruptive	She was being unruly during class
Empire	an extensive group of states or countries ruled over by a single monarch	The king of England is like an empire.

4. What are 4 important ideas you’ve got from the text? Write these in your own words.

When I was reading the article it said they did the treaty in one night and then I thought that maybe the person writing it got tired and maybe messed it up, So that the British could not take over all their land.

The Maori made a good decision to sign the treaty to bring peace because  the Maori and the British kept having war and fighting over land.

Some Maori chiefs did not want to sign the treaty but they did so that they could bring peace and stop the war and also stop the  fighting  over who gets to keep the land.

The British tried to take over New Zealand but they did not because the Maori stopped them and made them sign the treaty so that there would be no war and no fighting over land.

 Writing Task - Fan Fiction Writing

Today we will be having a go at 

Fan Fiction Writing.

What is Fan-fiction writing, I hear you ask?!

 Fan Fiction is a style of story-telling where we take characters and settings from our favourite movies or books, and use them to create our own original stories!

On Monday we explored comic books, so you could choose a comic book character, but it could be any book or movie character that you liked!

Before you start writing tell me…

Who are your characters?	Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn
When and where does your story take place?	4 Pm  Road Trip To A Family Meet  and She is in the city.
What challenge will they take on?	Defeating Harley Quinn and getting to the Family Meet on time.

Oh! I nearly forgot. You will need to include these 3 things into your story!

A cupcake

A broken down car

A musical instrument

HAVE FUN!

Begin your writing here: On a nice Warm day Wonder Woman was on a Road Trip to go to her grandma's funeral. While she was driving She saw lots of amazing things like flowers and butterflies. She was so excited to go and see her family, she was getting hungry so she decided to stop at a gas station and eat her cupcake. After that she realized that she was almost out of gas so she got out of her car and went to go pay for her gas. When she was waiting in line to go pay for her gas she saw something move behind her car but she ignored it because she was next in line. Little did wonder woman no but Harley quinn saw her and she un screwed the nails for her tires. Wonder Woman Walked back to her car with full gas and she was ready to go back to road she was driving and then she has to drive in the city then suddenly her car stop and the tires pop out and roll everywhere wonder woman doesnt know what to do so she sits in her car then a man walks up to her car and a man asks what's wrong and she says her tires popped out and rolled everywhere the man says it’s okay because he knows how to put them back on. Wonder Woman thanks him and after about 30 mins her tire is fixed and she rushes back on to the road and while she is driving she sees harly Quinn and sees that she was the one who did that to her tire because she has the tool that can take out a tire. Wonder Woman changes into her clothes quickly and runs to Harley Quinn. They have a fight and wonder woman hits her with her lasso and she puts her in cuffs and the police takes her away.  After the fight Wonder Woman changes back into her clothes and drives to her family's house. She makes it in time and everybody is saying hi to her. Wonder woman also decided to play some Piano for everybody and enjoy her music. THE END
