Expressive+Writing

//By Mollie (Springston School)// ....................................... After the Christchurch Earthquake we viewed photos, watched videos and read newspaper reports about the event. From this students were motivated to write similes to describe the Earthquake, and then as an extension we changed these into metaphors. We used [|Scribd] as a publishing tool to present our writing. (Year 4-6 students from Orini Combined School).
 * Buildings crumble to the ground in a tangled mess**
 * Loud fire sirens pierce the dusty air**
 * Distraught faces cry to be freed from the rubble**
 * The heart of Christchurch lies broken, ruined and lifeless**
 * Our iconic buildings struggle to stay intact**
 * Many are left homeless, many have no food, and many are left to wander the streets**
 * Our city may be ruined, and so many lives lost**
 * But the true generosity of people who helped many others**
 * Will help everyone to rebuild Christchurch**
