Animal Habitat poems

Walt: write a poem about animal habitats / homes

Happy animals love their homes, some also love the rain.

At the arctic it is very cold. People who go there have to live in igloos.

Big animals have to live in big places but small animals can live in big and small

Ice is the place where the coldness lives.

Tropical islands have animals too.

Arctic is the coldest place in the world.

Trees help us breathe in and out.

Seas are the best place for underwater animals.

Describing the boy

The Present - Describing the boy

WALT: Use a text structure appropriate to the purpose

In a dull, dim room, sat a boy playing video games, his eyes were glued to the
screen of the TV. He had pallid peach skin which stood out in the dark shades
of the living room with a puff of blush splattered on his face. Slightly, you could
see a teeny pack of light brown freckles all over his face. His glossy bronze
eyes shone in the dark as he stared into the TV. His zipped up jacket was the
colour of lapis blue. His dark chestnut hair was short and messy due to never
leaving the living room to comb it.

He lacked sympathy to everybody but video games. The boy was ignorant
because of his negative attitude. His face was stern caused by glancing at the
TV screen for a while. The curtains opened letting the luminous sunlight walk
into the room. The daylight filled the room as he squinted. Obsessed with
video games, the boy was impolite to anyone who tried to get him off the TV.
He was attracted to the TV because of his severe depression.
