Term One

 

My sister dragged me into watching this lemony Snicket Series a while ago. But before that I had been told it was absolutely amazing, but I still had no interest what so ever in watching it.

I was hesitant in watching the series because of all the bad reviews the film had received.

The film of lemony Snicket was made in 2004 but ever since the series came out in January 13th 2017 everybody was going on and on about it.

 

This series is the grievous tale of three orphans Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire who are investigating their parent’s’ mysterious death. They went missing in a tragic accident a while ago. The siblings have been organized by Mr poe with a guardian named Count Olaf, who will do what it takes to get the Baudelaire’s back to him. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny always find out its count Olaf in disguise trying to capture them at every turn, making different plans in disguise.

They have won Best Achievement in Makeup and Kids’ Choice Award for Favorite Book, A Series of Unfortunate Events it has won the Quill Award for Children’s chapter book/middle grade 2006.

act. 1 wk. 9 New Zealand History

History:

 

New Zealand dates back at least 700 years to when it was settled and discovered by Polynesians who developed the Maori culture. The first explorer to sight new Zealand was Abel Janszoon Tasman he found new Zealand in December on the 13th 1642 he was 55-56 when he found New Zealand. From the late 18th century, the country was regularly visited by explorers and other sailors, missionaries, traders, and adventurers. In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the British Crown and various Māori chiefs, bringing New Zealand into the British Empire and giving Māori “equal rights” with British citizens.

 

Conflict & Growth

Māori came under increasing pressure to sell their land for settlement.This led to conflict and in the 1860s, war broke out in the North Island. The Much Māori land was confiscated or bought during or after 20 years of war.

Sheep farming was established on extensive grasslands, and Canterbury became the country’s wealthiest province. Gold was discovered in Otago in 1861, and then on the West Coast, and helped make Dunedin New Zealand’s largest town.

 

Social change & War

In 1893, New Zealand became the first country to give women the vote. State pensions and state housing for workers were also offered first in New Zealand.

New Zealand troops fought overseas again in the Second World War in support of the UK. However, the fall of Singapore shook New Zealanders’ confidence that Britain could guarantee the country’s security.
