A DAY IN THE LIFE AND HOME OF A CHILD IN AN INFORMAL SETTLEMENT

Hi my name is Molly this morning ,I woke up as cold as a wet dog on a winter night.Right now it is cold and there is a thunder of rain. It has started to flood my house me , my sister,my dad and my mom were trying to evacuate the house. We were very sad and hurt because we were stomping through the water.

Onesie we were on the dry land we stopped and took a break until there was no more water . We started to walk back home to our house which was not there anymore. All there clothes had been washed away and there food . Then a truck was arriving there were million people there . It was to collect food, water and blankets. We were also in the line they gave us a bag of stuff in . They also gave us a tent to stay in . Then we sat down at a plastic table with plastic chairs . Before we had lunch we prayed for everything God had given us then we had our lunch.

 After we had lunch we went to go get some materials to build a new out of more sturdy house . There wasn’t much there to build a  nice and sturdy house. But then some good luck came . A man asked my dad if he could help him with his work to build a nice house. He said yes it would be great . He earned a normal amount of money to buy a house and that is what he did. I was so happy because he could also pay for a nice school. It was so fun with the best teacher in grade 5 .

poerty ILT

 Poetry is something that rhymes but it doesn't have to rhyme. There are so many different poems hare is an example, a color poem. I think sometimes people write poetry to express there feeling also they can write there poem on something they love or someone they love.  The tasks we did in ILT were Terminology, Poetry writing, black out poetry, poetry slam, Analysing poems and  imagery. My personal best activity was the poetry slam because you could write your own poem and then act is it out. My personal worst was the TERMINOLOGY  because you had to get 13 definitions , examples and record your self saying the definitions. My most changeling was the poetry slam because half way through we had to change the poem to bulling and i also couldn't remember the lines. I thought it would be so nerves standing up , performing in front of everyone bur it wasn't scary at all i just looked at all my friends.This is one of the words i learnt CINQUAIN poem.

This is how you write a bad email: Sup whats up tell me when the poster is for i went to a dog farm it was cool and rag and i saw Mrs lamp at the beach. sup how was your weekend. This email is wrong because i did not sign my name i went off topic and i used a lot of slag in my email.
