The double acrostic 

A double acrostic poem is where the first and last letters of each line are the same, forming the same word on each side vertically.

Example of a acrostic poem:

Flaming sparks floating down form the dark sky

In the Smokey air, Grey  and white swirls fly

Radiant colours everywhere, bursting from fireworks

Excited children screaming everywhere

Wonderful sights form popping colours

Outstanding lights shine before they hit the ground

Relaxed  watching the bursts of colours sprout

Kaleidoscopic lights in every burst of light

Sprouting pops make people look

What is a Storyboard??:

A storyboard is something you use to make a plan with where you draw/add pictures into the box and on the bottom you would usually add a little writing draft at the bottom to tell the reader what it is.Another way of saying it is a visual representation of a film sequence and breaks down the action into individual panels.

Why is it important to use a storyboard before starting a project?:

Kaitiakitanga means Guardians of the earth and is a Māori concept for

the Guardian of the sky, sea and land.They give us crops to grow/food

and fresh water to drink but most importantly air which all helps us survive.

 

Conservation:

Conservation is a type of island closed to all people to help it survive and

Prevention of humans wasting the resources there and many native species

can live without worry of extinction because if it weren’t a conserved island

humans would cut down there habitats which most likely have the food that

Is good for them leaving them to die.

 

THINGS TO DO TO HELP WILDLIFE AND PLANTS:

  • DON’T CUT DOWN TOO MANY TREES!
  • DON’T DRIVE IN A VEHICLE AS MUCH BECAUSE IT POLLUTES THE AIR!
  • IF YOU SEE RUBBISH ON THE GROUND EVEN IF IT ISN’T YOURS PICK IT UP!
  • REUSE, REDUCE AND RECYCLE.
  • SAVE FOOD AND DON’T WASTE IT!
  • USE BROWN PAPER BAGS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC BAGS!
  • VOLUNTEER FOR CLEANUPS IN YOUR AREA!

EVERY-TIME YOU CUT DOWN A TREE GROW 3!!!

presenting them and while someone else was presenting there poster we were a good

audience, it was a good session because we learned HEAPS about Kaitiakitanga!
