Homework Week One

Water

Because New Zealand is an island home the sea is always at our doorsteps. We are never far from its heaving sighs and touch. It is like a rocking cradle eternally moving backwards and forwards around us. We gain food from it, enjoy its beauty; we play in and around its rippling tides.
The poet Denise Levertov wrote of the sea:
“ _ and as you read
the sea is turning its dark pages
turning
its dark pages.”

I would like you to write a line or two about your feelings about the sea.
How does it look?
What is its taste?
What is its texture/ how does it feel?
What sound does it make?

Write these lines a s a writer, which means to write them in excellent English, vividly and poetically. Create beautiful written statements about the sea when you answer those questions.

The pick of the crop will be published on our blog.

Reading every night is vital to becoming an excellent writer. Record the titles of books you have read and your opinion of the books.

Remember to check your mandatory checklist at the beginning of your folder.

Also, collect as many fascinating ‘water’ words as you can this week.

  3. The stiring sound of the waves makes me feel like I'm in heaven! The dark blue water has effects like no other and you just can't take your eyes of the gorgeous veiw.
    It tastes of salt and not many people like it.
