Poetry writing

Examples of sonnet poems:

Unaware

By Kaitlyn Guenther

Isolation quickly overwhelms me

Begging for forgiveness, a fallen hand

Desolation I now begin to see

Hanging by a thin thread, a single strand

I watch them. Their fears, their misbehaviour

Mistreat, abuse. Completely unaware

I am the land, their glorious saviour

Someday they will learn to treat me with care

I wish they would learn to trust each other

To join as one, to stand strong together

A bond, a band and a mighty brother

Forever as one, a powerful tether

You may not know, that fear is their captor

So you may not see each special factor

Important things to note:

• A sonnet poem is made up of 14 lines each being 10 syllables long.
• The structure of an English sonnet poem is: 

abab

cdcd

efef

gg

• The English sonnet has 3 stanza's (abab, cdcd, efef) which is a complete poem made up of four lines, and a couplet (gg) which is 2 lines that rhyme.
• Each stanza develops a specific idea but is closely related to the other stanza's.

Summative Task: Norwegian Term 3

Your summative task is to create a video to introduce yourself to a student over in a Norwegian school.

We will then send them to the class, so they can watch them (and hopefully reply!).

You will have two sessions to complete this (this lesson and the next lesson). I can then collate the videos over the holidays and send them.

Videos will have to be transferred to Mr Ahie's computer via an iPad chord or Air Drop (Air Drop is better). Whatever way, Mr Ahie will have to be able to access it.

You may work in pairs or threes (no more or no less due to having 15 iPads). You may use your own device if you can transfer the video to Mr Ahie's computer.

Here is a marking rubric. This will need to be completed for each student.

Conversation Rubric
In Norwegian	Needs work	Can when reading	Can do well with prompts	Can do well without support
Greet
Say your name
Say where you come from
Say goodbye
Count 1-10
In English	Missed it	Mentioned it	Showed it in/on your video
Share something about your school
Share something about yourself
Ask a question about their culture
Share in interesting fact about NZ

Notes:

• Write down the iPad number that your group/pair uses, so you can use it again next session
• If you want to go outside to film or in another area of the school, you must ask Miss Brydon or Mr Ahie. Please be considerate of other classes.

First attempt at Rube Goldberg machines.

Yesterday we had our first attempt at creating Rube Goldberg machines. For inspiration we watched videos of what other people have created.
Our aim was to get a marble from one side of the classroom to the other without touching it, and we could use any of the objects in the classroom to assist us.

Check out our take on Rube Goldberg machines below!
