Activity 3: Restricted Access [10 points]

On your blog, tell us what you think about the government’s decision to restrict the number of tourists able to visit this special site. Is it fair? Be sure to tell us why you feel the way that you do.

I think that the decision is a thumbs down because people should visit beautiful places like Machu Pichu. Also, a lot of people should be able to see Machu Pichu but they should destroy things.

I have chosen this because it looks fascinating. To me, it looks like a moustache. If I felt a moustache like that it would feel like heaven because it will be fluffy and soft. Also, it is a humongous moustache.

Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 4

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.

On your blog, give us a list of three to five options for the name of this geothermal pool. Put a star (*) beside the name that you like the most.

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.

Activity 2: Pancakes and Maple Syrup? [4 points]
For this activity, you are asked to choose one of your favourite foods. On your blog, write the name of your favourite food and then tell us how to make it. You may need to ask a family member, friend or Google (!) for help if you do not normally make this food for yourself.
One of my favourite food is Pizza.
Ingredients:

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)

1/4 cup canola oil

1 teaspoon salt

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 pound ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce

3 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 medium green pepper, diced

2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

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.
• 4. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned.
• Activity 3: Salt and Pepper [5 + 5 possible bonus points]
• 
• This is my house and it is made out of Lego. The reason why I made it out of legos was because you can make anything out of legos and because I used to get lots of Christmas gifts that were lego.
