Muffin Makeover Domestic 🧁

So in home economics, we made muffins, but with a twist. Our teacher made some changes to our recipe to make it healthier. She decided to make them smaller and add in some bananas. The recipe came out like this...

1/2 cup Wholemeal Flour

1/2 cup White Flour

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar

2 Mashed Banana 

1/4 cup Unsweetened Low Fat Yoghurt 

2 Tbsp Canola Oil 

1 Egg

1 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 cup Chocolate Chips

Method for them is to 

1. Heat oven to 180c

2. Mix together the wet ingredients 

3. Sift and mix together the dry ingredients

4. Mix dry and wet ingredients together 

5. Spoon 100g batter into each muffin tin and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until cooked through. 

 Nutrient Information 

These muffins reduced in substituting some of the white flour for wholemeal flour, using less sugar, using less chocolate, replacing milk and one of the eggs with unsweetened low-fat yoghurt and making the muffins smaller.

What Stuff Happens With Fire 🔥

Paragraph Practise...

We all are familiar with the news studio and where we see our two hosts sitting at the long oversized table. Well three days ago there was a fire that broke out on the Sky City building in Auckland, which fire fighters have been trying their best to fight. It is reported that the roof collapsed with the flames and everyone had to evacuate, leaving the news to be filmed outside, making them hosts seem real and not 3D made. Hopefully the fire looses the fight and the fire fighters take the win, like the All Blacks last rugby game.

Essay Planning & Prep 😅

What Question Are You Going To Answer?

a. I am going to answer; Question 2 which is...

"Describe at least one way that a character or individual changed in the text. Explain how this change was important to the text as a whole."



Describe
The Other Mother
In the beginning- she's nice, happy, dressed nice, button eyes (symbols) she looks like the real mother but perfect. Wears apron, turtle neck shirt, long pants, short and round, curvy.
Feels - safe, happy, cosy, welcoming.
Lighting/Colour - warm, safe, artificial, bright, warm, oranges / reds / yellow.
At the end - scary, grumpy, vicious, malicious, vile, malevolent, skinless, metal bones, needle fingers, skeletal, rags, bug like.
Happens gradually - taller, skinnier, more sharp edges (head and elbows).
Feel - frightened, scared, unsafe, betrayed.
Lighting / Colour - dark, cold, artificial, neon green and purple - tells us that there is no way this Other Mother belongs in the real world.

Explain
Look can be deceiving - don't trust/believe what something looks like or appears to be.

What Techniques Are Used...

/ Music / Camera Angles / Lighting / Colour / Character /

a. Music - To me the music gets deeper, darker and more weirder.

b. Camera Angles - The camera angles start to show a high angle of the Other Mother making her more powerful and stronger to the viewers who feel weak and vulnerable. 

c. Lighting - The lighting with the Other Mother is very artificial and contains the colour palette is vibrant reds, oranges and yellow to make the room feel warm, safe and cosy. 

What I could write a paragraph on...

 a. Physical Characteristics 

b. Lighting / Colour

c. Costume 

d. Personality 

Hypothesis = Your Guess

Thesis = Your Argument  
 

Pick The Scenes You Will Use As Evidence...

a. I will be using the scenes where the Other Mother is in the kitchen, because when Coraline visits the other kitchen, the Other Mother changes through out the film.

Put in opening sentence; 
The Other Mother changed

Coraline
