Activity 1: Off the Menu [4 points]
What do you think about this rule? Is it fair that people are charged up to $100 000 for overfishing? On your blog, tell us what you think about this rule and why you think it!.

I think that rule is fine because If people overfish then there will be less fish. Also, other people might want to fish as well and there will be no fish for them so they can fish as well.

Activity 1: Planes, Trains and Automobiles [4 points]

Let’s imagine that you had the chance to visit Milford Sound by boat, foot (walking) or air (helicopter). Which option would you prefer?

On your blog tell us which of the three options you would take to explore Milford Sound. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen this option.

I would prefer going on a boat because If I took a helicopter I would be screaming on the way to Milford Sound because I am afraid of heights. If I was walking I would be exhausted and if I went on the boat there wouldn't be any problems.

This is a person who is taking a photo of her great city. Also, she is taking a photo of the beautiful ocean right next to it. Also, she is standing edge of a building which looks like she is going to fall. The city she took a photo of is so beautiful and I think that's the reason why she took a photo of it.

How to make Pizza:

• 1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Stir in flour, a cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
• 2. Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, cook beef and onion over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
• 3. Punch down dough; divide in half. Press each into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Combine the tomato sauce, oregano and basil; spread over each crust. Top with beef mixture, green pepper and cheese.

Activity 1: Towering Timbers [4 points]

On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.

I think that logging shouldn't be allowed the first reason why is because there will be fewer trees and we will have less oxygen. The second reason why is because the native birds of New Zealand won't have a place to live and a place to lay their eggs.

Activity 2: Living on the Edge [4 points]

Dear Etuale,

I'm in Tundra! It is freezing cold here. I knew it was going to be cold but not this cold. Also, there is not much oxygen because there are no trees. I can also see birds flying everywhere I think its because there are no trees for them so they can live in it. Also, the weather is weird because this morning The sun was shining brightly after that it started pouring with rain! Also, I won't be back for a while because of the weather!

Best Wishes

From your Best Friend

Christopher

Activity 3: Going, going….gone [10 points]

Living in New Zealand on 2018 was the best! I had many adventures with my family and friends. Me and my family would always go beach with my cousins and have an amazing day. Me and my friends would always laugh at each other and have each others back and confront the people who mock them. Me and my family would always go visit people and have a lot of fun with our cousins! Also, we would always fight and argue but then we will be friends after that.
