Learning intention: We can reflect on a text.

We will be successful if we can: answer reflective questions and state our opinion and point of view.

Step 1: Watch the following short clip Whipping Video

In this clip we see the children attempting to crack a whip.The use of whips reflected an economy that was highly dependent on animal labour, such as herding cattle and driving horses and carts. However, in the early 19th century whips were also used as a common form of punishment against people.

Step 2: Reflect on the use of whips in the video by answering the following questions. Upload a photo of your responses to your grade’s Google Classroom.

1. What were whips used for in Davey's time and why were they important?

2. What is your reaction to knowing that whips were used on people back then?

3. Should whips be used on animals? Why?

4. Is there an appropriate time to use whips?

5. What are the benefits and disadvantages of using whips?

Write your responses in your Reading book or print out the question sheet to record your answers on (if you have access to a printer).

Optional Extension Task: Complete additional research to answer the following questions:

Day At Melbourne Zoo Document

Subtraction Table Template - Day at the Zoo

Instructions:

Step 1: You have $100 to spend on a day at Melbourne Zoo. You need to account for a variety of things throughout the day. You must account for travel, entry fee, some food and drink, a gift shop item and an extra activity. You can choose more than one of these but you must have a minimum of 1 from every category.

Step 2: Using subtraction, you need to start deducting (taking away) amounts for things that you are going to buy. You need to consider all categories. (EG: I am starting with $100 and I am going to take the train to and from the zoo, which means I need to take away $10 from my total first.)

Step 4: Work out how much you spent in total on your day at the zoo. How much change do you have?

Step 5: Upload your template to Google class to show your remaining amount left over!

Extension Activity: Can you do this activity again, trying to spend exactly or as close to $100 as you can?? You might take more family members or choose more activities. See if you can create a new budget for trying to spend the whole $100!
