Marshall - Rendering internal AS91066 (DVC)

Marshall Te Riini - Waititi

AS91066 - Use rendering techniques to communicate the form of design ideas

In DVC we have been designing a water bottle. We had to design a bottle with a filtration system in it. For this assessment, we have been learning how to render. We have to render three different materials, metal, plastic and transparent plastic. 

This is the assessment link:                                                               https://www.nzqa.govt.nz/nqfdocs/ncea-resource/achievements/2019/as91066.pdf\

This is my unfinished design 


This bottle is my metal one



This bottle is going to be a transparent one


This is a plastic one



I like the colour combinations and how it portrays the light

I do not like how hard it was to draw

Can I have some feedback?

In An Ideal World

In An Ideal World

In an ideal world, I would want people to come together and be one instead of discriminating against a certain colour of peoples skin. I would have no pollution in our oceans, rivers, lakes, creeks, atmosphere or anywhere in the world. I would let no one leave a carbon footprint. I would have people treat each other better. There would be no war.   

Maori and European Essay (Social Studies)

Introduction 
In 1830 there were 100,000 Māori and 200 Europeans living in New Zealand. The behaviour of the Whalers,
the Missionaries’ desire to help protect Māori rights and the Musket Wars were reasons that a treaty was needed.
The Declaration of Independence was another contributing factor to the need for a treaty.


Paragraph One (Lawyer)
One reason that a treaty was needed was the lawless behaviour of some of the British Settlers like whalers.
There were an estimated 200 Europeans in NZ around 1830 most of these Europeans were whalers. Whalers
were out at sea for months to try and catch whales. When the whalers came to shore at the Kororareka(Russell)
port they would cause problems, for example, they would drink, start fights, and there would have been
prostitution. A treaty would have helped stop the problems by bringing everyone together.

Paragraph Two (Lawyer)
Another reason that a treaty was needed was to protect Māori rights. One group that felt strongly about this
was the missionaries. Around 1814 the European missionaries came to New Zealand and tried to convert the
Maori to their religion and beliefs. The missionaries taught the Maori useful skills such as reading and writing
in Maori and agriculture technique. The Missionaries worried on behalf of the Maori because they saw sin, bad
behaviour and all the land that was sold. The treaty would have helped protect the Maori because the treaty
would have enforced laws into New Zealand 

Paragraph Three (Hamer)
Another reason that a treaty was needed was the Musket Wars. The Musket Wars started in 1807 and ended
in 1842 and killed over 20,000 people. The first tribe to get the muskets was Nga Puhi. Maori tribes traded food
and land to obtain the muskets, the tribes that weren’t near ports/ocean were forced to venture out and trade
valuables and food to get muskets. The Maori tribes would fight for land ownership or to regain mana after past
defeats. The Musket wars showed a treaty was needed. 

Paragraph Four (The Slam Dunk)
The final reason that a treaty was needed was the existence of the Declaration of Independence. On the 28th
of October 1835, there was a declaration of independence signed between the Maori and Europeans. The
purpose of the declaration was to protect the Maori rights and to have a flag of their own. 52 Maori chiefs that
signed the declaration of independence. The treaty would have made the Maori become equal with all the other
countries with weapon usage. 

Conclusion (Robust Conclusion)
This essay has demonstrated why a treaty was needed. It was needed because there a huge amount of conflict
between the Maori and Europeans. The whalers brought a lot of bad problems to the Maori such as diseases,
fights and prostitution. Two things we have learnt is that the treaty was an important part for the Maori and the
Europeans become one and without The Treaty Of Waitangi New Zealand wouldn’t be the way it is now. That is
why the Treaty was needed.

Character Strengths (English)


Character Strengths

I saw teamwork in Dragon Ball Super when Broly comes to Earth to fight Goku and Vegeta after they got beaten they fused together and the beat Broly. I think it’s important to use teamwork because you get things done quickly and you can make friends. 

I saw bravery in Dragon Ball Z where Goku goes to this planet called Namek to save his friends and family from lord Frieza. I think it is important to be brave because you could do a lot of great things.

Maori And European Population Changes In NZ 1836 - 1901


New Zealand Population

In social studies, we have been given the task of making a multi-line graph of the population of New Zealand from 1836 to 1901.

Questions:
1. What does the Graph show us?
    It shows us that the number of Maori people decreases 
    whereas the number of European increase.

2. Why do you think the numbers of Maori change?
    Because the Maori traded their goods and food for muskets
    Then the musket wars started.

3. Why do you think the numbers of Europeans changed?
    The Maori traded their land for weapons and other goods
    Then the Europeans came to the pieces of land the the 
    Europeans traded for.
