How Is Chocolate Made

 Introduction

 Did you know that some chocolates have mushrooms in it ? Chocolates are easy to eat but hard to make. It has different steps and different ingredients and exact methods to have a perfect chocolate. These are the steps to make a chocolate.

 

The Purpose Of This Text

 

The purpose of this text is to explain and teach you how chocolates are made and how they are turned into chocolate.

 

Firstly, Cacao pods are cut open and the cocoa beans are scooped out. Secondly, it is fermented and dried in the sun for a week and then wash the beans. Thirdly, After that, they are crushed and half grinded. They grind the cocoa beans to separate the cocoa shells from the nibs. Then it is refined to get the gooey rich chocolate texture. They are grinded at high speeds. Then for the milk chocolate you add less cocoa and more milk. These are like Indian spice grinders that are used to make chai (Tea). Then they leave it grinding overnight and then they add the sugar in the morning. This is after it's gone through the roller mill then this gets thicker and thicker and thicker. You’ll see the chocolate like sugar granules. Then the machine will start grinding it solid if you want to ricoy all the particles in fat. Then they temper the chocolate. Tempering makes chocolate smooth and glossy. Then they are in the freezer overnight to make it hard. Information 1 : Chocolate can be in different tastes, colors, shapes and chocolate can have many toppings and a lot of different flavour too. Information 2 : If you want to make dark chocolate you add less milk and more cocoa to have the exact taste. 

 

Question to be answered : How is the cocoa butter extracted/collected to make white chocolate ? 

Conclusion

 Chocolates are yummy but bad for your teeth . They have different materials, different ingredients, different flavours, different methods and different shapes. It has some really hard steps too .
What kind of chocolate do you like and why ?

My Reading Task This Week !!!!

 Hey Readers,

This week our task was to choose a book from the book choices, read it and write a summary about it. I read the book called Earth Paints. This book is basically a book teaching how do the people from older generations and the people from small areas/villages/town made paints, brushes and what kind of paper they used to make an aboriginal art. This book was a bit boring because it did not have enough information and things and even the purpose of this text. Anyway it was good to know that paint brushes are made from bamboos and some other trees. Our task was to create a DLO with the summary in 5-6 sentences and blog it !. And our second task was to

My Writing This Week !

 Hey Readers,

This week our writing task was to write an explanation writing about the article we have chosen. I chose the article called What Causes Tsunami. We needed to explain how/what causes tsunami. There are 2 steps of what cause tsunami and in the conclusion you will also get all the key points from the text. Indonesia is the most common place for earthquakes and tsunamis. In this text you will also find some very interesting facts about earthquakes and tsunamis and even more.

No WALT

Here is the work

What causes tsunamis ?

What is a tsunami ?

Tsunami is a large tide wave which causes a lot of damage and destruction.

          The purpose of this text

The purpose of this text is to tell you how/why what causes a tsunami.

Facts

The name Tsunami is a Japanese word which means harbour wall.

In 2004, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake hit on the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia

which resulted in a 50 m tsunami causing over 200,000 deaths and billions of

dollars worth of damage.

On the 11th of March in 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake caused a powerful

tsunami that hit Japan  and killed more than 18,000 people. 

1st step of how tsunami is caused

Firstly, a tsunami is seen as moving from the ocean.This is because the wave

is just like the tide that we usually see in the ocean. This part is the first

sign of the tsunami.

2nd step of how tsunami is caused

This large wave can be up to 10x bigger than a normal wave and often hits

the shore and slows down to around 50 km/ph. The back of the wave is still

moving through deeper water, However it is going faster than the front

wave and when it reaches the shore the back wave crashes onto the place. This is why it goes up high.

Conclusion

Tsunamis causes a lot of damage.

Most tsunamis are caused by earthquakes & volcanic eruptions. Some are

caused by landslides and meteorites.

First the wave is seen as moving away from the ocean.

Then it becomes bigger and bigger then slows down to 50 km/ph, the back

wave is moving deeper but faster and finally crashes into the shore. This is

how tsunamis are caused.

My Reading This Week !!!

 Hey Readers,

This week our task to do was similar with our last week's work infact it was the same. We needed to at least finish and blog our 2 or 3 create tasks at the end of the week. My first create task is the quiz about elephant I chose these kind of questions because you readers maybe know some of the answers. I chose this elephant book because I like elephants and I have actually went a ride on them. My second create task is the word search. I chose these kind of words because if you have been onto the elephant quiz I have made you might know some of the words from there. My third task is the Venn diagram which i chose to compare both elephants and tigers because I already know some similarities and the differences and moreover it would be easier if you have done the quiz and the word search.
