Creative Piece Of Writing

Two  weeks  ago in  Te Ngahere we were  learning  to use the correct structure for a creative piece of writing. The language features I was using were alliteration, metaphors and onomatopoeia. The theme of the writing was about reducing, reusing and recycling.  I think I did well on using my metaphors and I think I need to work on my alliteration.   

Language features: Alliteration, Metaphors and onomatopoeia  

HAIKU
Let’s stop littering
Our sea creatures will soon die
It is polluting     

Acrostic poem  
Pollution

Polluting is bad
Our sea creatures could  die
Let's stop littering
Lets stop now  
Unless you want to make our country look ugly
This can cause diseases
It can cause tourist to stop coming to our country  
Our environment will look ugly
Now is your chance to stop….

Limerick  
There's rubbish on our land fill  
The rubbish will literally kill  
Our sea creatures will soon die
The rubbish on the beach will fly

Onomatopoeia poetry
Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh
The sound of plastic wrap flying
Woosh, Woosh

Poems with a twist  
People picking up rubbish
sea animals saved  
People using heaps of energy  
Sea animals die

Cinquain
Pollution
Dying animals
Lots of rubbish  
People caring for animals
People caring for our country

Metaphoric poetry
It is sad
It is a polluter
It is a killer of sea life  
It is ongoing
It is  invincible

Persuasive writing

A couple of weeks ago in Te Ngahere we were learning to

use a persuasive structure correctly. I think that I needed to work on my punctuation. Also I think I did well on my question marks. The writing piece that we wrote about are  either ’Should plastic bags  be allowed in supermarkets?’ or ‘Should we start Reducing, Reusing and Recycling?’


What do you think? Should we reduce, reuse and recycle or should we pollute the earth? Your choice. . . I think we should start recycling because if we don't
it can cause less natural resources, pollution and many more. But if we do start reducing, reusing and recycling we  will be a happier and cleaner country than we already are.  


If we start reduce, reusing and recycling then our sea creatures won't die from plastic bags, aluminum cans etc. There  are  nearly of 300 albatrosses that die every year from the pollution. There are  also over 1,000,000 turtles that die due to plastic. When people start polluting, the fish eat the rubbish, then when you go fishing you catch the fish, then you eat the fish then you could get really sick. Around the world all 1,000,000 birds that are on the beach die from plastic.

Did you know that when you pollute, tourist’s won't come to the country?  
Then that means we will lose money for our economy. When tourists come to
our country we get a lot of money. We got approximately 745 thousand dollars for  tourists. Would you really want to lose that money???

Think about it, would you like to start reduce, reusing and recycling??
Or would you like to just let the sea creatures die, tourists not coming to our country. I know for sure I would go for the first option.
