Extended Abstract

Acrostic poem about habitats

WALT:Write a poem about animal habitat/homes

Antarctica where my furry white friends live

N-autilus gliding in the water

I-guanas laying in the rain forests trying to camouflage stealthily

M-amals,Amphibians,reptiles

Animals galore laying in their cosy habitats

L-ive in a habitat and you will see why these animals love their home

H-ome of fish and many other more if you open the door splash!

Alligators snapping their jaws as they watch their prey come right to the door.

B-oom goes the hippo as it touches the ground splashing water all over itself

I-ncredible animals playing all day this is what you pay for I must say

T-earing flesh from other animals there is only one who does it it’s lions

Animals party every night I must say how joyful they are

T-arantulas dead and scary 

S-uperb and crazy animals are simply the best

The boy description

The boy

The boy in the lapis jacket was hunched forward gripping the game controller. Eyes glued to the TV, he ignored his surroundings like he was having a dream. He ignored his mum and the present that she gave him. He seemed uninterested. When sunlight came into the room, he cringed and acted like he was in a cave with no exit. Uncaring and selfish, the boy was torturing everyone.

The boy was moody and never let  anything come in his way; he was stubborn. Obsessed with video games, the boy was in a dark room and was ignorant to anyone that tried to take his attention away from the TV. The boy seemed heartless at first but then he got more considerate about others and treated them fairly.
