Faith's Library poem

Pativai's Field Poem

This my poem about the field, the poem is trying to show you what kind of things are in my perspective of the field. I used some personification and metaphors to make it hard for people to guess what I was writing about. It was hard to come up with some metaphors but Mrs Parker helped me, and then she explained what that can be simmilar to.

Library poem by Ashleigh

we were using metaphors, and create our own poem about either:

• A person (Principal/Teacher)
• or place (Library/SickBay/PE Shed)
• or thing (Monkey Bars/Whiteboard/Tree/Pou) around the school.

Pativai's Palm Tree and Snail

The purpose of this was to show what kind od personification and some metophors were in the poem and here is a example of the personification and some metophors are in the poem. This is also showing a example of what kind of effect or the purpose.

Decide on and justify what purpose or effect these features had on the poem.   

Language Feature	Palm Tree	Snail	Purpose/Effect
Metaphor	Hula skirts dancing all by themselves	He is an tank, tough and tenacious, passing over	A metaphor is when you do not use the words like and as. E.G it was a stormy night the wind blew straight through the doors.
Personification	A kennel full of shaggy dogs straining on an lead	He is an athlete. In the race to be the slowest he excels	Something or an animal like it is alive.E.G The palm tree danced through the clouds.

1. Compare and contrast: Explain the difference between a simile and a metaphor.

2. Both of these poems are filled with metaphors, choose one metaphor from each poem and describe what you think it means for the subject of the poem.

	Palm Tree	Snail
Metaphor Example	All these things until the clouds darken, the wind gets stronger, the storm gets nearer.	He is a hobo, his worldly goods humped upon his back
Explain what you think it means	I think it means that they are trying to explain what the palm tree looks like when there is some kind of storm.	They are trying to get the reader to know that the snail crawls along with an shell on its back.

Faith Rain Animation Poem

I like the way I did this animation poem because the animation made the poem more clear for when you read it out to the audience our when the reader reads it to themselves. The thing that didn't go well when I was making this animation was that I was new to this thing and I had lots of trouble learning how to animate on a presentation, but I am glad to know that I was in the learning pit because I used the learner quality's to get out.

Rain by Hone Tuwhare

This is my animation about Rain. This Poem Is by Hone Tuwhare. I think this is a lovely and Inspiring poem Because it uses the senses and for me it tell people that they are lucky to have the senses they have.I found it difficult using images that are labeled for reuse and to do the sun was harder then it looks!  
Hope you enjoy
