Idioms

This is an Idiom.

An Idiom is an Figurative phrase .For example an Idiom that i and my partner have made which is “Kill to birds with one stone” Means Achieving two things at once. Not atucally kiling two birds at once that lireatl. Lirteal and  Figurative are very diffrent from eachother. Lilertal is when you atucally mean what you said. But Figurative when you say something but it has a diffrent meaning.

I enjoyed this task because learning about the diffrence between an Litreal and Figurative.

25 Word summary.

This task was based around the peom waltzing matilda. A 25 Summary is a text that explains the story in 25 words. The peom was  about a man called the swagman who had stolen a sheep. but was caught and troops came coming down. In a atepmt to escape he jumps in a river drowning himself. This peom was also a famous song in Austraila.

I enjoyed this task because how we learned about what happened in austraila and you atucally find the lake where the swagman was. theres a legend where the swagman is still singing to this day.R

For reading this was our task. The task of making an DLO revoling around 1891 with shears from all over austrila would protest and fight for there rights. They did this because of there pay has gotten less and the bad working envioiments they have been working in.

The other perspective is perspective B which is the farmers side were they did not care about what the shears thought and called the police aganist the protesters.

For this task we read the text RISE UP: The of the dawn raids and the polynesian panthers. As a group we have created a DLO showing both perspectives around the story Rise up which is about the polynesian panthers and there acsitvt group protesting aganist the goverment the prime minster Muldoon. Perspective A shows that some people said dawn raids where not bad but were a good thing to happen to the pafiska overstayers. Perspective B shows our own opinion about the event that happend. And Perspective C shows that the dawn raids where a massive impact and a stain for newzealnd and their people.

Some I found intresting about this text was how badly they had treated the pafiska overtayers and the countless acts of voilence they showed towards them.
