LI: To explore the world in 1840 and the art of the Treaty
This week we learned what they would have been like in 1840. Did you know that the Treaty of Waitangi would have been cancelled because of William Hobson being sick. After this we identified some of the key people and their role in the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. I found it interesting that there was still slavery in America in 1840, it still carried on for another 25 years. We then gathered all our information to help us read the event of the Treaty of Waitangi. Then we looked at the picture seeing what could be happening at that time of the event.
However the image above was an impression of Marcus King , the painter of the picture. It was nearly a hundred years of his impression but it was only 98 years of the impression.
I created a transportation vehicle which uses two different forms, seas and land.
First I wrote the pros and cons about the first modern vehicle and the first ever vehicle for each transportation which are sea, land, air, and rail. The two transportation I combined was land and sea. The purpose of my transportation is to be able to have a car that is able to land and then turn into a kind of a boat.
Next I had to label the parts of my transportation vehicle. Also I wrote an explanation about my transportation vehicle.
I drew a car that has different kinds of transport.
First we wrote ideas on pros and cons on each car transport for the 4 four modes of transport, the four transportation vehicles are land, air, sea, and rail.
Lastly I drew my own car showing three modes of transportation. The three modes of transport I used for my car are air, sea, and land.
I enjoyed this activity because I drew a car. I need to improve on making my car look better. I did well on adding pros and cons for modern cars.
