Why do people protest?

Why do people protest?

What do you think of when the word ‘protest’ comes up? For hundreds of years New Zealand have had multiple protests trying to bring awareness to their movement. Some have succeeded and others haven’t. Some may be for rights, fairness, to fix a problem, etc.

What is a protest?

There are many ways to protest, a march, petition, a meeting, strike, rally, etc. A protest can be a way to complain or to bring awareness to a problem, protests have been around for a very long time, for example in New Zealand it has been a few hundred years since protests have taken place.

What causes a protest?

Protests usually take place when people feel as if there has been injustice or unfairness. It can also be made when the public disagrees with changes that the government caused. Many start a protest when they have a problem they would like to share with the public.

Do protests work?

Some do, some don’t. It takes both sides of people to make a compromise, if the protest can get known and really large like the BLM protest that is going on right now changes would most likely be made. It’s not a certainty that the protest the people started will work but it doesn’t hurt to try!

Protests have been a thing for a long time and some of them actually helped make a difference to the present! So, what do you now know about protests?

We are learning to:

• use seasonal vegetables to make a healthier food product

• use food preparation and cooking skills

• describe key attributes of a food product

• work safely in the kitchen, using good hygiene practices

• work together as a team

• manage time effectively

• evaluate a food product.

Success criteria: “I am successful when I can...”

• use courgettes or other seasonal vegetables to make healthier fritters

• grate vegetables using a large-hole grater

• form similar-sized fritters, fry and then share these evenly amongst my team

• describe key attributes of courgette fritters

• work with my team to make healthier fritters safely, within time constraints.

Evaluate the outcome

What went well? Frying the fritters went better than me and Jedida expected. Getting the ingredients ready to mix went well too! Overall everything went well!

What did not go well? Nothing really went wrong, everything went better than what I expected.

What could be improved?  Maybe cleaning a bit more quicker and when frying the fritters maybe we could’ve made them smaller so that there was more.
