What's+The+Plan+Stan?

This term in our topic we are learning about tragedy's that have happened in New Zealand. Then we have to write about one we want to learn about.



The Quake: In 1855 a magnitude earthquake of 8.2 ( the most powerful earthquake recorded in New Zealand) Shoke the southern region of the North island. This was caused by a movement along a fault in Palliser Bay. It was the end of a two day holiday, the 15th anniversary founding of Wellington. A little bit after 9.00pm a deadly earthquake began to shake Wellington, the main shock lasted for about 50seconds.

People fled out the doors, where they remained for the night in tents, one person counted 250 aftershocks in the first 11 hours after the quake. The aftershocks continued for months after the quake. For the first day after the 8.2 earthquake, as far away as New Plymouth an almost continuous vibration could be felt by people sitting, or when leaning against walls!

Whenever we find out about a tragedy we have to do a task on it, I have chosen to do the Comic Life Task This is what I did...



On the morning of 10th April, 1968 Cyclone Giselle at the same time the Inter-island ferry Wahine was crossing Cook Strait. The Wahine had left Lyttelton at 8:40 pm the night before, and was taking 610 passengers and 123 crew members. There had been storm warnings, but nothing said that this storm would be any worse than other winds in the strait well known for its rough seas.

For my task for this I chose to do a movie score: Create a piece of music in garage band that could be used as the sound track if the disaster had a movie about it. Does your music create the pace, flow, and feelings of the disaster.

==A 7.1 earthquake hit Christchurch on the 4th of September 2010, causing NZ $4 billion of damage to the city and region. == On the 4th of September 2010 Christchurch residents went through an awful Earthquake, it was 4:35am and i think it would have been the rudest awaking the people of Christchurch would have ever been through. [|Geonet] counted all the aftershocks in the first week and an outstanding 749 aftershocks occurred (all of these reaching over 4.0) Here are some pictures i found on the internet: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-earthquake/4705106/Photos-Before-and-after-the-Christchurch-earthquake

For my task I have chosen to do an Interveiw, this is what we have to do: Imagine you are interviewing a survivor of the disaster. Write 9 questions that you will ask them and record your movie on Photo booth or Garage band and put it on your wiki space.

Here are my 9 questions: Where were you when the earthquake hit? Was your house destroyed? Name some of the valuable things you lost? Do you think you will ever be able to go back into your house? Are you planing on moving anywhere? Do you get any sleep or are you thinking about more aftershocks? Was your work place destroyed? What was going through your mind when the earthquake hit? Do you know anybody who got badly injured in the quake?
