Comparing & Contrasting The Ancient & Current Olympics - Aleenah

An Ancient Inspiration

Centuries ago, during the era of Greek Gods, the first Olympics was held to unite the cities of Greece and escape wars. I have learned that the Olympics back then had similarities from our current Olympic games and I have made Venn Diagrams in slides 3 & 4. In the presentation below, I answer questions and compare the Olympics of then and now. A creative task was to draw an Olympian God who was one of the inspirations for the games held in the dated Olympics. I drew Apollo on google drawing.

He decided to be a merchant. After carrying out decision, Choie received riches, success and fame. Though life in early NZ had Chinese-racism. Communities protested for Chinese to be expelled and less to come but Choie being the supportive and reasonable man he was, he explained how the British had declared that NZ would allow Chinese to come within NZ and not be treated as harshly. After growing his business, Choie had a few riches left to provide within the community and he used his reputation to help incoming Chinese be comfortable entering NZ. Choie Sew Hoy was kind of a pioneer within the business industry in early NZ time.

The Life Cycle Of A Maggot - Aleenah

Maggots

Of course, it is really weird to be writing about maggots as most people see them as gross and icky. Though those people haven't heard of maggots therapy. It is scientifically known that maggots can help clean up and disinfect a wound. They eat the dead tissues within that wound and cleans it all up! under this paragraph, I have recreated on google drawing the maggot life cycle.

An Opportunity You Wish You Had - Aleenah

 An Opportunity You Wish You Had

After carrying so much experience on a specific subject (Drama), my friends and I were invited to create the starting point of expanding the learning experience of Process Drama. It enhances the vocabulary of youthful minds and allows them to produce expressive pieces. 

Several lengthy practices later, we were ready to teach at Stonefields Primary School. Arriving at the school, our voices drained from the laughs and tunes we shared in the car with a fellow teacher of ours. 

Reaching the gates, I was in awe and intimidated. Rambunctious children were crazed over in the park and teachers chatting oblivious of the time. This had silenced me into my thoughts of anxiousness. My palms were already sweating nearly forging a hole in my script. 

Finally reaching our brightly cluttered hub, I was again in shock by the learning environment these lucky students had to learn in. Setting up our group was practicing and playing around, exploring the class, and sweating our palms till our papers could rip. Though so many joyful jokes and laughs changed the atmosphere slightly relieving us of our anxiousness until our students arrived. One of us introduced who we were. I started off with the convention of Themes, a simple way to express the vocab in the minds relating to specific words. After being the first person my confidence in ourselves grew all the way to the end of the movie. The movie wasn't long, it was called the Yellow Umbrella a story of sacrifice. The rest of the conventions were amazing! and absolutely fun. 

Then came the last part, a Q&A regarding Process Drama. We got to express our emotions about the subject and tips to help students get familiar with this process. At the end of the day, I loved it and man would I accept any opportunity like this again! it was extremely fun especially with the people I spent this spontaneous event with.

Travelling Through The Ear

Above this text, you will be able to see a diagram of my creation on google drawing of our ear and how it transmits the sound from our pinna, the outer ear then the brain for translation. There is a whole system for our ears and not many people realize that but now I hope you do.
