The Lake - Language Features

The Lake - Language Features

Listing - Using more detail to emphasize a point and can create an image in the reader's mind.

Example - "The wave shut me off from the world, from the birds in the sky, the children on the beach,

my mother on the shore. There was a moment of green silence. Then the wave gave me

back to the sky, the sand, the children yelling. I came out of the lake and the world was

waiting for me, having hardly moved since I went away."

My Passion Project

My Passion Project

Last week our Wananga classes started passion projects, which means we got to choose something that we are passionate about and work on it for the rest of the term. For my passion project, I am working in a group with Sonny and Kaedun and we decided to work on making and producing a song as it is something we are interested in.

Our goal is to make a hip-hop/rap song. At this point in time, we have just started making the beat and brainstorming what the song will be about.

Yellow Brick Road

   Pre-reading Questions

Author Witi Ihimaera is from Gisborne. Five of his books, The Whale Rider, Bulibasha: King of the Gypsies, Nights of the Gardens of Spain, White Lies, and Maori have been made into films. 

To me the Yellow Brick Road is like a road to glory, I have heard of the phrase from the Wizard of Oz movie. 


I predict this story will be about following the road to something great and the journey along the way.
