HEc- Second Cooking Lesson- Ham Wraps

HEc- Ham Wraps

High-risk food that was used, how you have to handle it to keep safe:
Mayo; high-risk- brought out at the very end so it wasn't just sitting there becoming contaminated.
Ham; high-risk- brought out at the very start and eaten before the end.

Health & safety procedures prior, during, and after the practical:

Prior: Washing hands (killing off bacteria with soap and hot water), putting on an apron (preventing food from getting onto your clothing), washing down benches with spray and cloth (killing any bacteria that was possibly left on the bench), etc.
During: Using the correct boards and knives (preventing cross-contamination), washing dishes with hot soapy water (killing bacteria stuck to equipment), etc.
After: Washing down benches with spray and a cloth to prevent bacteria from spreading to the next group's food when they cook on that bench (cross-contamination and killing bacteria).

I know my food is safe because: We have carried out the procedures and strategies needed to keep our work area safe and clean to cook and eat.

The Bystander Effect - English - Mini Writing

For English almost every day, we needed to write a small portion of writing based on a topic given to us by our teacher.

The Bystander Effect

Do you know what the Bystander Effect is? Well if not, let me tell you. The Bystander Effect has
an impact on responsibility. Let’s say you are in a room with a large number of people and a man
collapses to the ground. Even if it is in your nature and your first instinct is to help people, the time
it takes you to assist is delayed in bigger groups of people. Whereas if it were just the man and
yourself in the room, you might rush over in record time because there’s no one else in the room
to help. 

In a big group, you tend to think, ‘this man needs help, but I’m no doctor, maybe there’s someone
else with better skills than me.’ Or, ‘oh no, someone help!’ Did you notice that ‘someone’? In
many cases, you are the someone that needs to help and make the responsibility your own. Even
if you’ve never met the man before. He needs help, and he needs it now. Don’t stand there and
watch the incident take place. Take charge.

Tricolon/Tripartite
 I had never heard of them let alone knew what they were before researching this topic. Anyway, tricolons. Rhetorical terms that are made up of parallel clauses, phrases, or words. Tricolon is derived from the Greek language meaning, ‘section of a sentence.’ You can find tricolons in many different places. Just to name a few; poems, novels, storytelling, advertising, movies, etc. They can also be used for comedic use, then known as a ‘comic triple.’ Tricolons are also used in slogans, they’re usually used to make things more memorable so you won’t forget the line anytime soon. Here are a few examples; ‘I require three things in a man. He must be handsome, ruthless and stupid,’ -Dorothy Parker. ‘You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at a catastrophe.’ - The Wizard from The Wizard of Oz. ‘Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn,’ - Benjamin Franklin.

Art- NCEA Level 1- 2020

ART

This year in art, we are choosing our theme. We needed to put a mood board together (shown below) and find artwork from each of the artists and decide who's art interests us the most. Maybe if we want to create art like them... We also needed to create a brainstorm (shown below) on what we want our Kaupapa to be this term. 

(I apologise for how blurry the Mood Board is)

Medium: I think my medium this year will be design and little to no photography? The main medium though will be design.

Artists: Andy Warhol is most likely going to be my main muse although I quite like Shepard Fairey's work. Yoshitomo Nara's art is... interesting too. I don't know if I'll use their art as an inspiration.

Topics: I think it will be based on how humanity is- more or less, destroying the earth? With plastic problems, climate change, Aussie fires, I might even base it on a possible world-ending scenario (caused by mankind).
